"Falling" is a song by Kylie Minogue from her fifth studio album Kylie Minogue (1994).
Background and composition[]
"Falling" was written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, collectively known as the Pet Shop Boys. The group were approached by DeConstruction after they had finished work on their album Very (1993); initially, they declined, but Lowe came up with a set of chords that Tennant found similar to Kylie's work with PWL; a demo with a very 80s feel was sent to DeConstruction, where it was reworked by Pete Heller and Terry Farley, collectively known as Fire Island. Tennant found the final mix very different from the original demo, stating "It doesn't really have the same tune in it, for instance, and they haven't put the chorus in, but I suppose that's very modern".
The song employs elements of house music, with Kylie speaking the lyrics over sung backing vocals. The song runs for six minutes and forty-four seconds; an alernative mix, included on the re-issue of Kylie Minogue, ran for eight minutes and forty seconds; this version of the song features more spoken verse by Kylie, as well as a laugh as the outro to the song.
The song appears as the ninth track on the album.
Live performances[]
Though "Falling" has never been included on any of Kylie's tours, she did perform it during a top-secret promotional performance in London's Astoria on 27 August 1994.
Lyrics[]
Kiss the past till it's better
Make it last if you can
Tell me now you regret her
I'll try to understand
What was lost can be regained
All the hurt can be healed
There's no need to feel ashamed
You've come back and I feel that
Falling in love, falling in love
Falling in love all over again
I'm falling in love all over again
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
Say goodnight to your bad dreams
Feel no guilt for what's done
Another past has been washed clean
A new day has begun
Falling in love, falling in love
Falling in love all over again
I'm falling in love all over again
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
Falling in love with you
In love with you, falling in love with you
I'm falling in love all over again
I'm falling in love with you
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
Again and again you've got me falling
Again and again falling in love
In love with you, falling in love with you
I'm falling in love all over again
I'm falling in love with you
Falling in love
