Sharon's new single is now available to stream in Australia! I've stayed up past midnight to hear it, and I love it!
Steve shared a snippet from a live performance in a thread below...and following on from that, it's really nice to hear the studio version.
The style is different to her other songs. Perhaps 'Ears Painted On' is the closest. I'm trying to find the right words to describe the production/arrangement, but I think it's fair to say there's a hint of '1990s indie rock/pop'. And a bit of 1970s too. The melodies/chords even remind me a little of ABBA/The Cardigans.
Sharon's said previously that she likes music that feels ambiguous - neither sad nor happy. 'Freefall' oscillates between confusion, anger, acceptance, and freedom (especially on the final major chord).
I think my favourite part is the pre-chorus - especially the melody and chords of "I am real, I am spinning, I am outta control, I'm singing".
She sings with a lot of personality in this song - some of her style even reminds me of the way Andrea sings. My spine tingles at the rawness of Sharon's voice on the line "get out of my head" in the first chorus.
There are lots of great little Corrs melody licks...but no violin or tin whistle on this one!
I've tried to work out the lyrics - and think I have most of them right except the one about gold or cold in the bed.
It's past 1am now and I'm falling asleep...so here is my guess at the lyrics.
'Freefall'
by Sharon Corr
Freefall, shotgunning to the ground
And I am crystal, illusion, slipping through your hand
Shattered on the floor, you won’t put me back together like before
Not like before
‘Coz I am broken, I am clearer,
I am so messed up, I’m nearer to the truth, than ever before
I am real, I am spinning, I am outta control, I’m singing
And I’m dancing on the roof
I’m dancing on the roof
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, when will it end?
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, you get out of my head
Your beauty, so flawed
A delusion in your head
Now I like gold in your bed (?)
so gold in your bed (?)
Forever is never, so easy to begin
Just not to end, no not to end
Coz I am crashing, I am burning
I am so full of yearning, I am tearing at the roots, and I’m pulling out the roots
I am drinking I am sleepless, I am hopeless, yet I’m breathing
And I will get over you, I will get over you
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, when will it end?
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, You get out of my head
I am half-asleep and dreaming, I’m awake but I’m not breathing
I am shooting at the lights, and I’m drowning in the lies
I am flat against the surface, I am scratching on the ice
And I am fighting for my life, I’m fighting for my life
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, when will it end?
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, you get out of my head
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, when will it end?
Ohhh, get out of my head
Ohhh, you get out of my head
