The third full length album by Elevator Fall. An ongoing and evolving musical
project inspired by any sort of music found to be interesting at any particular time.
Also available on all major streaming services:

Songs on this album include a short vocal based synth rock song (Standing Still), a lap steel guitar heavy song
about change (Someday) and then a collection of various instrumental tracks ranging from epic and
ambient synthscapes to chill jazz fusion with fretless bass, 12 string guitars, glockenspiel and kalimba.
A lot of time and effort has gone into this album. It contains material that has been developing over the
last 10 years. A lot happens over a 10 year span and this is perhaps reflected in the material, a couple songs
actually date back 20+ years but have undergone complete reproduction.

Erica DeMeerleer returns to sing on the chill duet style song, "Someday" and provide some thick background harmonies
in "Standing Still". It's been very inspiring to work with her on these songs, more to come for sure.
|
Some new instruments on this album. A Fender Jazz fretless bass joined the family and is used
on several tracks, most apparent on the song "Fretless", a little jazz fusion song.
|
In the synth department, a Dave Smith Prophet Rev2 analog synthisizer (a truely amazing set of circuitry) has
been added to the collection. This synth has been extremely inspiring and is used on most of the song in some form.
|
A late 1960s Fender lap steel guitar also makes several appearances, bringing a whole new sort of sound to Elevator Fall.

Lyrics
Standing Still
I think, I - I think I found my friend
even though your eyes don't seem to move
I need to enter your line of sight
I'm learning to stay very, very still
If I don't look at you, will you see
That it takes all of my concentration
I'm not sure you understand me
I'm doing everything that I can
My dream might come true, I can feel it getting close
Your eyes have started to look all around
I can move again I can take a step to you
Will you see me if I look away?
Now that I have found you my friend
Spinning around and around again
I wonder if I live in your thoughts
Or if I exist here at all
Someday
It'll all end someday
When it's all ready to go
It's all gonna change
it's all gonna change
It'll all end someday
When it's all ready to go
It's all gonna change
But is that so bad?
It'll all end someday
When it's all ready to go
What does it mean
All the things we see, today
And we'll see the loss
And we'll feel the cost, someday
