Falling.. Or Am I Flying??



Song: Falling
Artist: Matt Hales (Aqualung),
Music: Nitin Sawhney


Lyrics:
Some day the wind will change and you will see me clearly
One day these dreams of mine will bring me to my time
Some day I will become what I am meant to becoming to
One day but that's a million some days from today

Lately the sunshine makes a different shape around me
Lately my music has a different sound to show me
Lately I ask questions of the world but no one is listening
Tell me when I go to sleep what will the morning bring me?

Falling, falling, falling, or am I flying?
Flying, flying, flying, or am I falling?

My Take: The song is one of my favourites. It seems as if the song been sung in a different language altogether - The Language of the Soul. Aqualung is one of my favourite artists. He has given it all to the song. The song starts with a "Yeap Yeap" sound that slowly transforms into this sound that is similar to a train running on rails making you enter into an atmosphere where you visualize yourself all alone sitting by the window on a train on a sunny afternoon where everything outside is golden. And, you realize you finally have time to think about your life - and just your life. I really connect with this song because it takes me back to my days when people used to doubt by abilities while I knew I was strong on the inside. I was just waiting for a chance to prove it. I was trying to make people realize how I was not the person they thought me to be. The last lines are the best. They make you want to feel that thing someday. A state where you no longer worry whether you are going to die or live - eternal peace.

While writing this itself, I got so emotional that I'll now need to go and listen to this song.

10/10 for this song people.

And ya, please let me know if you know any nice songs similar to this or even otherwise. :)
