FALLING IN LOVE
10th December 2021
Where before Michael Mikey Brennan paid homage to the sound of the 1960s and 1970s with “She’s My Girl”, which Amy Rae (Noro Blue) compared to the 1978 musical comedy Grease: "I can hear Danny Zuko singing this", the follow-up to the Beatles-esque song came Mikey's second DJ Azza-produced single, "Falling In Love", where Azza explored a whole new different route of dance music compared to his usual modern EDM influences; experimenting with gated reverb, made famous in the '80s by Phil Collins ("In The Air Tonight"), and influences of disco and early house music. While the rhythmic production is rooted within the traditional new wave sound of acts such as Duran Duran and Depeche Mode, the song has a more R&B-infused melody, with Mikey's vocal style channelling the androgynous falsetto styles of Michael Jackson and Prince, and the feminine qualities of Madonna, Cyndi Lauper and Whitney Houston.
"It doesn't sound like it was written in 2021, it sounds like it was written in 1985".
Brian Leslie
LYRICS
Written by Michael Mikey Brennan
I feel the music moving in your bones
I can't fight this feeling anymore
You got that something every man's looking for
I've never met someone as beautiful as you
Take my hand let's hit the floor
Turn around and give it some more
You look so fine, you look so fab
Were you made by a scientist in a lab?
You drive me crazy, you drive me insane
I don't have time for your silly games
I don't have time for your sweet words
So let us skip the how do you dos
'Cause I just wanna groove
And I just wanna dance with you
And I just wanna make love to you
Your lips take me to heaven
And your eyes take me to paradise
I can't fight this feeling
I can't control myself
I don't know what to do
I'm falling in love with you
I can't keep my eyes off of you
I'm falling in love with you
I can't keep my hands off of you
I'm falling in love with you
(Oooh), my darling you
(Oooh), my baby you
(Oooh), my sugar you
I'm captivated, I'm under your spell
I don't care about anyone else
Just you
I wish we were the only ones here
I wish everyone would just disappear
Ditch the DJ, keep the music on replay
In love forever we'll always stay
You're so gorgeous, I don't deserve it
My heart is beating, I can't control it
Your lips take me to heaven
And your eyes take me to paradise
I can't fight this feeling
I can't control myself
I don't know what to do
I'm falling in love with you
I can't keep my eyes off of you
I'm falling in love with you
I can't keep my hands off of you
I'm falling in love with you
(Oooh), my darling you
(Oooh), my baby you
(Oooh), my sugar you
I don't need no fortune or fame
For you I'd give it all away
Come on baby stop playing games
You know how I feel
You know what I wanna do
Your lips take me to heaven (oh)
And your eyes take me to paradise
I can't fight this feeling
I can't control myself
I don't know what to do
I'm falling in love with you
I can't keep my eyes off of you
(No matter what I do, No matter what I do)
I can't keep my hands off of you
(No matter what I do, No matter what I do)
I'm falling in love with you
(I just can't control myself, I just can't control myself)
Falling in love with you
