Inspired by Marc Chagall’s “The Birthday”, I wrote this love song back in the late-90′s sometime, and recorded it in 2013. As with all of the recordings here, it’s demo-quality, but sonically I am trying to find that place between sleep and awake, where everything is soft and falls away as you drift between two worlds. To that end the lyric is very simple and unworked — without a bridge and whispered more than sung.

my feet up off the ground, Chagall's "Birthday"

everyday, I’d like to fall
but I won’t do any harm
flying with my feet up off the ground
I’d like to fall
I’d like to fall

’cause I’m the clumsy kind
I’d like to fall into her arms
and I’d like to see her she’s so fine
I’d like to fall
I’d like to fall

everyday, I’d like to fall
softly fall into her arms
flying with my feet up off the ground
I’d like to fall
I’d like to fall

I get this crazy feeling
when I’m alone and she’s not here
it’s like this sound I’m almost hearing
like half of me has disappeared

everyday, I’d like to fall
softly fall into her arms
flying with my feet up off the ground
I’d like to fall
I’d like to fall
