about
Social Union’s debut single, ‘Fall into Me’ was composed by myself (Vanilla), as a gift for Luke. Although I had never known Luke prior to his sobriety, when Luke shared his path to sobriety with me and really put all his cards out on the table - it was such an act of vulnerability and courage for him in my eyes. I wanted to acknowledge the work that he had done and the sense of responsibility that Luke had to do what he needed to do every day to keep himself sober, whilst also acknowledging that we were both powerless over the disease of alcoholism. I want to write a song that would reassure Luke in knowing that if he were to relapse that I wouldn’t run. We are both human, and are two thoroughly imperfect people doing our best to grow ourselves beside each other, whilst supporting each other as best we can along the way. I wanted to lyricise that. I wanted to record that reminder.
As for the recording process I (Luke) actually built the song of the main guitar motif. I had this idea in mind that I wanted to create a sound with the image of driving a car at night, alone in a city that was foreign to you. Once the music was finished I then recorded Vanilla's vocals in our living while our country was in lockdown due to covid. This added some much needed creative levity in uncertain times.
lyrics
If you fall from the tightrope that you’re walking baby,
Fall into me,
If you’re shamed on the street side in the morning baby,
Fall into me,
I’ll stay with you ‘til you come down,
I’ll lie beside you on the ground,
I won’t be going anywhere just so you know,
In a worse case scenario,
I know the worst of you,
I know the best of you,
I want it all,
I want it all,
And if your scared i’ll leave,
love you don’t scare me,
And if your scared i’ll leave,
love you don’t scare me,
If you fall from the tightrope that you’re walking baby,
Fall into me (fall into me),
If you’re shamed on the street side in the morning baby,
Fall into me (fall into me),
I’ll stay with you,
I’ll lie beside you,
Fall into me,
Fall into me,
Fall into,
