Hall & Oates

Songwriter: Daryl Hall

[Verse 1]
Start anyway you can
In the company of gifted and mad man
Some vote to go on and some fall away
Maybe growin' past the pain
Maybe goin' insane
Or maybe it's just that you don't feel like singin' again

[Pre-Chorus]
And you know, you know, but you go on
And you know, but you go on
And you know, but you go on
But you go on

[Chorus]
Falling, falling
Falling, falling
You're down on the ground, but you're falling
Allez, you go
Allons, we go

[Verse 2]
Floating through the clouds, goin' down
Seems a strange point of calm
No past, and no future, just the wing and the wind
When the wheels touch the ground
A flood of feeling sweeps around
And the wheels of my life start turning again
If I could stay, if I could stay
If I could stay, if I could stay
If I could stay in the sky
Suspended in time

[Chorus]
But I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling
I'm down on the ground, but I'm falling
Allez, you go
Allons, we go

[Interlude]
Falling, falling

[Outro]
Falling, falling, falling, falling
Falling, falling, falling, falling

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
