I wrote this song for people with long-standing health problems. I wanted to convey that God does hear you, even if it doesn't feel that way.
"So he got out of bed and gave his friend some bread-but not out of friendship. He gave in to persistence," Luke 11:5-7.
God asks us to keep asking. It's almost like He's asking us to try to get on His nerves. But even if after years of praying for healing, if nothing has physically changed, God has still done a work in our souls.

We had big plans for this song. This is an early draft, but a later draft (that we rewrote with Rob) was always intended to be the closer on the record, even up until our end. It was going to be massive.

lyrics
I'll fall down,
to the ground,
chained and bound.
Alone...
underneath this stone.
Weighed down by a crown,
I carry on my own.
Oh, can you hear me?
Because i'm crying out
Oh, can you hear me?
I'll go down
to the water safe and sound.
Unknown, but a touch makes me whole,
I'll hear heaven sing,
and the sound of angel's wings.
Oh, can you hear me?
because I'm crying out.
Oh, can you hear me?
Oh, you have healed me.
From all the pain I've known.
Oh, you have healed me,
and I am not alone.
Oh, you have healed me.
From all the pain I've known.
Oh, you have healed me,
and I am not alone.
Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like THE CLASSIC CRIME! This album really rocks, sounding more British than American. The first seven songs plus the stormy "Cold Loud Dark" are catchy killers and this is an almost perfect result for an album. A fat pillar in this years's holiday soundtrack! H.L.
Oh well, Christmas is approaching... time to buy at least one Christmas album! I'm not a fan of Christmas, as it is celebrated today, nor do I like the typical cheesy Christmas music played everywhere these days. So it had to be something special. The "crash test" for this album was the version of "Silent Night", which nobody managed to get right so far. Well, with the exception of "Falling Up". Frankly, as a fan of Jessy Ribordy, I'm not surprised that much... Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
Cuts deep and stays with you. There is an earnest honesty in the lyrics that pulls you in. If, like me, you thought this album was merely "good" when you listened to it the first time, give it a few more plays. You might just fall in love with it. Francis Berglund
