about

The song is about leaving your past behind and ultimately finding redemption. Out of old pain comes the willingness to put aside destructive behaviors and entrust oneself to God's guidance.

The protagonist is aware of his sinister lifestyle and knows that the only thing that can ultimately save him is to surrender to Jesus. He asks God to destroy his old life - as he cannot do it himself - and to create something new and beautiful out of it.

The accompanying music video was produced by "Fruit Salat Films".

„Don't Fall From Grace“ is the first single from his upcoming album "River," due out in spring 2022. Twelve songs that tell of friendship, love, death, faith and hope.

The album was recorded at "The Famous Gold Watch" in Berlin and produced by Cameron Laing and Gidon Carmel.

lyrics

Don't Fall From Grace

You think you’d be happy with me
That I am the man of your dreams
Come lie here, lie here with me
But am I really the one you need

The last girl thought just like you
Before she clashed with my muse
You know she’s jealous, demanding and cruel
When I don’t live up to her rules

And I must not fall from grace
Pleasing my muse is my daily aim
For if she don’t speak to me no more
It’s sullen silences spoiling it all

And I thrive and thrive on pain
Yeah, I thrive and thrive on pain

She glowers at me, this old shrew
Whenever joy is befouling my mood
So I abandon everyone
For the mercy of one more song

I must not fall from grace
Pleasing my muse is my daily aim
For if she don’t speak to me no more
It’s sullen silences spoiling it all
I must not fall from grace

So hit me and rip me apart
Take all I have and rip out my heart
Burn down all I have, all I am
Then hold me down and hit me again
Break me and crush what’s inside
Reveal everything I got nothing to hide
And raze my life to the ground
For I’m only bound to the song

So I might rise again
From the ashes of who I have been
On this pain that lives inside
I thrive, thrive, thrive

I must not fall from grace

To be reborn on the stage
I must not fall from grace
