Fallin’ for You

Album: Up on the Ridge

Album Release Date: June 8, 2010

Label: Capital Records Nashville

Producer: Jon Randall Stewart

Track 2: “Fallin’ for You”

Single Release Date: n/a

My Thoughts/Interpretation/Insights: The second track on the album is “Fallin’ for You”. This is one of my favorites from the record. The song features the talents of none other than Chris Stapleton on background vocals. The narrator sings of being unable to stay away from a girl. It seems that she keeps dumping him and he keeps coming back. He sings of the “tears (he’s) cried” and her “soul (being) black”. He just can’t seem to move on. The song has a very bluesy, soulful sound to it. Very nicely done.

Let me know what you think of this one. Leave me a comment!

Listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics below! I have also included a “beind-the-scenes” video along with a live version. Enjoy!

Fallin’ for You
Written by Shawn Camp and Paul Kennerley

I can’t stand this fallin’ for you
Every time I see you
I keep crawlin’ towards you

Can’t take this achin’ feelin’
This cold heart-breakin’ feelin’
Can’t stand this fallin’ for you

Well, I hang my head by the riverside
Burst its banks with the tears I’ve cried
The ripples roll out to the sea
I wish they was washin’ over me

I can’t stand this fallin’ for you
Every time I see you
I keep a-crawlin’ towards you

Can’t take this achin’ feelin’
This cold heart-breakin’ feelin’

Can’t stand this fallin’ for you
Every time I see you
I keep a-crawlin’ towards you

Can’t take this achin’ feelin’
This cold heart-breakin’ feelin’
Can’t stand this fallin’ for you

Well, your blood is red but your soul is black
Don’t believe I’m a-comin’ back
And now I know why the willows weep
The tide is high and the water’s deep

I can’t stand
I can’t take

I can’t stand this fallin’ for you
Every time I see you
I keep a-crawlin’ towards you

Can’t take this achin’ feelin’
This cold heart-breakin’ feelin’

Can’t stand this fallin’ for you
Every time I see you
I keep a-crawlin’ towards you

Can’t take this achin’ feelin’
This cold heart-breakin’ feelin’

Can’t stand
(This fallin’ for you)
I can’t take
(I can’t take)
I can’t stand this fallin’ for you
