I Fell Right In Love With You

1 out of 1 Found the view helpful


The first song on the album "endless Wire" that I loved and repeated over and over.

It tells a story about the awkwardness of falling in love, and how it can hit you at the most unusual times

The meaning isn't that starightforward, but it's about a man in the middle of a mascre, who's hoplding a child, and sees a suicide bomber. He then notices that she is female and remembers falling in love with her eyes just before she blows him, her and the child up.

Rodger acted as editer for the album, and Pete sent him a selection of songs, so that he'd choose the ones for the final cut. When he heard this one, he knew exactly what it was about, I personally thought it was being more metaphorical than it was, so it hit me at a more personal level

As amazing a song as it is, I cannot concentrate while listening to it, as it was so addictive when I first heard it, that I played it to death
