Freefall Lyrics

When the world is dark as night

and you cant see

When it echoes like a canyon

its so deep

When the path you're on

Leaves you lost

As a ship out on the sea

Then Its time

to Free fall into me

When the hourglass

is runnin out of beads

if your imagination

is runnin out of dreams

When the long black train

the devil made

starts to pickup steam

Then its time

to Freefall into me

Chorus

Let it rain over me

All the pain that you feel

don’t you hold back child

till the light sets you free

And I know that I aint perfect

but im never out of reach

When its time

just Freefall into me

Verse 2

When your laughter seems impossible

to reach

if the music doesn't

launch you out of your seat

if the color of the mountains start to

feel more gray than green

then its time

to freefall into me

Chorus

Let it rain over me

All the pain that you feel

dont you hold back child

till the light sets you free

And I know that I aint perfect

but im never out of reach

When its time

just Freefall into me

Bridge

If the Broadway lights can’t illuminate

The street

If the sun on your face

Doesn’t make your heart skip a beat

If I’m not around

To remind you how

To listen to your dreams

When it’s time

Just freefall into me

Chorus

Let it rain over me

All the pain that you feel

dont you hold back child

till the light sets you free

And I know that I aint perfect

but im never out of reach

When its time

just Freefall into me

Origin Story:

Matt Freedman the artist and songwriter on “FreeFall” were in a deeply introspective and emotionally challenging time when this song was written. Matt has a young daughter that struggles with severe anxiety, as does Matt. Knowing some of the triggers that Matt faces as someone who has mental health issues himself, he wrote an outline of sorts to let his daughter know what to look for, and if any of the symptoms start to strike, to dive into her daddy’s arms for solace.

This is the song that Matt wrote to his daughter as a reminder that regardless if he is around physically or not, that his music and his presence will be with his daughter forever. This song is a deeply emotional ballad and prayer from father to daughter (or son) that vows their commitment to being there for that person when they are facing their darkest hour.

Anxiety and depression are real issues that now face more people than ever post COVID pandemic. The challenges that young parents have faced has been sometimes insurmountable, and this song is a reminder that everybody has that 1 person in their lives that you can always FREEFALL into when things get incredibly hard.
