‘Fallen’ is the latest single from the wonderfully creative mind of Stirred by Life. It’s a song that builds on classic pop sounds and rock textures to deliver a track that is calling out for help. In the end, it accepts its fate and falls into the sonic abyss.
Strings and subtle percussion rule the instrumental as the vocals take up the mids. They sit and whittle as the melody washes overhead. The Vox are unaffected by the waves of sound. They sound beautiful, like a songbird in spring. They rise with the emotion in the chorus; layers of harmony bring us home. By the time the lyrics hit you, the emotion already has. ‘Fallen’ is raw, it is primal and it is innate. We all have felt that sinking feeling at one time or another. Here, it is portrayed through the guise of a loving single. And it is loving, just because a song is sad on the surface, does not mean it cannot be kind, gentle, and heartwarming in the centre. Stirred by Life create songs that are deeper than most. Listening to ‘Fallen’ proves that, and it does so in glorious style.
