We're all chasing something that will give us some meaning, aren't we?
This is the third or fourth version of this song; It had been a four-on-the-floor type pop song with a ton of programming and synths, but we could never really get fully satisfied with that version. Then, as if magically, Dave decided to take the music in a more indie, Coldplay-esque direction and we all fell in love with it. We were still making improvements and continually writing on this song all the way up through the final months of the band.
This song also brings back a ton of memories from the road of Mr. Teddy Boldt killing those drums. When Teddy came into the band, we were almost dead and were just coming out of one of the worst seasons of our band's history (losing Jaime.) I truly believe that God brought Teddy into our lives to breathe a new fire and bring new life to the band. He always pushed us to try new things, play new songs that we'd been sitting on (for too long), and overall just try to be a "next level" kind of band. He became a staple of our live show and one of the coolest "little brothers" anyone could have. I've said it before and I'll say it again: he will go on to do amazing things in the future, so keep an eye on that guy.

lyrics
I've waited so long just to find myself here.
It's like a sad song that's gone on for years.
And the walls I've built up are tearing me down,
and all the roads I take got me turning around.
It's like I'm screaming inside, but I don't hear a sound.
So tonight, I'm feeling so much stronger.
Tonight, I'm gonna let it all go a little longer.
I know you know, it's like it's never enough,
So tonight, I'm chasing after love.
I'm chasing after love.
I've needed someone who could show me the way,
when all the daylight starts to fade into gray.
And I see that light, and I'm chasing it down.
And I won't waste time; ain't no stopping me now!
I've got a feeling inside I can't believe I've found.
So tonight, I'm feeling so much stronger.
Tonight, I'm gonna let it all go a little longer.
I know you know, it's like it's never enough,
So tonight, I'm chasing after love.
I'm chasing after love.
Thought that I could live alone, thought I'd be alright.
But that's not the life that's waiting for me.
I think that somebody out there loves me,
And I think I wanna know.
And so tonight, I'm feeling so much stronger,
tonight, I'm gonna let it all go...
I'm chasing after love!
I've got a feeling inside that I know I've found
I know I've found You now.
So tonight, I'm feeling so much stronger.
Tonight, I'm gonna let it all go a little longer.
I know you know, it's like it's never enough,
So tonight, I'm chasing after love.
I'm chasing after love.
I'm chasing after love.
Outro:
I heard Your voice, I made a choice--
to never go back.
The words You said ring in my head.
I'm never looking back, no.

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
