New Single 'Closer'
From South African
Rock Super Group
'Fear Of Falling'
Hot on the heels of their latest single ‘All My Time’, South African Rock Super Group Fear Of Falling is back with ‘Closer’, their rendition of the classic by American Rockers Kings of Leon.
Fear Of Falling Vocalist Ross Harding shares that “Kings Of Leon are one of my favourite bands, and the song has always hit home really intensely. Something about the marriage of ghostly lyrics, the droning chord progression and melodic emotion of that song just works. It’s a genius piece in my opinion”
Produced by Spencer Harvey, all synths, sounds, and effects were created from scratch in studio, with Spencer’s sometimes strange techniques of blowing wind into the pickups of guitars, the sounds created speak to the ghostly lyrics and intensity. Working on the song, Harvey notes, “I just wanted to create a banger!”
Fear Of Falling are incredibly grateful to the time, effort, and artistry that Spencer Harvey put into the track, and the result is this phenomenal mix of dark and light, as the song makes its way through the anti-chorus elements, leaned on by its lyrics.

Lyrics 'Closer'
Stranded in this spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
Floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
You who shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now? Baby, where do I sleep?
Feels so good, but I'm old
Two thousand years of chasing taking its toll
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
