- about
- Freefalling are songwriting duo Stewart Allan and Anton Morgan. Both grew up in classic Kiwi surroundings on the beaches of Auckland, New Zealand. Their music is a modern twist on the colour, playfulness and exquisite melodies of bands such as the Beatles, but with a distinct flavour as Kiwi as Crowded House.
Their first release "Shimmer" spans 2 continents and contains songs from over 15 years of songwriting, was recorded at TwoAM studios and mastered at London’s Abbey Rd by Geoff Pesche (Gorillaz, Kylie Minogue, Coldplay).
If you ever wondered what happened to the spirit of the 60's, be prepared to take a dive into a world of catchy tunes, sophisticated arrangements and lyrics that will make your whole body smile. - credits

the distance from my room to my porch
is merely a question of feet
if you like, you can come 'round and see it
you'll be surprised by the people you meet
I can walk from it to my kitchen sink
to make coffee and tea for the friends that come in
and I'd like to be close to you
in the rising and the falling
here on my favorite porch
we could go walking when it's time for rain
tired of the TV when it all looks the same
we could go swimming or just look at the sea
if you give me a hint
I'll go down on one knee
and I'd like to be close with you
in the rising and the falling
here on my favorite porch
on my favorite porch
like seeds from a bonfire
igniting in clear sky
this place it absorbs
every laugh, all that's said
it's meaning goes on
stretching out through years
and I'd like to be close with you... - Track Name: Shimmer
-
Questions that shimmer
like light on midnights waters
I'm plagued by excuses
imaginary demons
Don't know what you're after
I walk in the dark
Though it seems there's no reason or rhyme
You shine like a light in my mind
My naked soul
Trembles when I'm near you
There must be laughter
From friends in heaven's room
Can I steal your smile
And hide it deep inside me
One touch and you will understand
You're the light in the palm of my hand
I say hey now
I'm not the only one to want you
the way I do
And I do
Excuse my faith
I'm a hopeless non-believer
A frightened angel
Hangs around my crown of thorns
Living on lost time
Kneeling to be near you
Laughing as darkness descends
Knowing you're there in the end
Hey now... - Track Name: Terra Firma
-
I see you,
I see me
I see everything bursting with seed
To the steady drum of a washing machine
Wrapped up in a blanket
Cradled by a house
Dishes become mountains
Here on solid ground
My terra firma
I see you
I see me
I see everything that I'd like to be
And the comfort
throws its arms around me
Wrapped up in a blanket
Cradled by a house
where dishes become mountains
Here on solid ground
My terra Firma
Bookshelves thrive
Wine in a cup
The sun room catches fire
Terra firma - Track Name: Inconsolable Heart
-
I looked in the mirror and saw someone else
Pale as the morning light
Cut the strings on the old violin
Feeling a faint smile
Come on take me
to that tender place
I'll stroke her softness
Kiss her face
She heals my inconsolable heart
My inconsolable heart
I slipped down below and found nothing to see
Just faces, from the past
Heard the night wind whisper a tune
Staring at the sky for a while
Come on take me
to that tender place
I'll stroke her softness
Kiss her face
She heals my inconsolable heart
My inconsolable heart
Mind in the sky
On a natural high
Flooding the desert
She cries my tears
I'll face the fears
Sleep will come easy tonight
She heals
She heals... - Track Name: Blue Mao Mao's

Giant Steps
On Long Green Fields
Limey breeze
Blowing through cabbage trees
And Blue Mao Mao's
He wore blue
and she wore pink
They held hands
and rocked a tiny swing
With Blue Mao Maos
(with Blue Mao Mao's...)
There's plenty
in the smallest things
When it all adds up
It's just the love you bring
And Blue Mao Maos
It's just the love you bring
Sun goes down
Hibiscus bloom
Where sadness lived
now fire fills the living room
and Blue Mao Maos
(with Blue Mao Mao's...)
Freesian Cows
Blue Mao Maos - Track Name: Sky Blue Mind
-
Restless spirit, chase the wind
happy ever after
You turned your back on history
Quarreled with your maker
Rise above your quiet fear
The calling's getting louder
Take a while to disappear
Before this life is over
Shall we go
To a place where silence speaks
'Cause I'd really like to be in a sky blue mind
Come inside
Theres a storm beneath the sea
You'll be safer here with me
In a sky blue mind
Nothing but a poet's wit
To guide you past each page
You rush up to the mountain peak
Air thins with every breath
Past the fields
And careful not to trample on the flowers
Hush a minute now and then
Before this life is over
Shall we go
To a place where silence speaks
'Cause I'd really like to be in a sky blue mind
Come inside
There's a storm beneath the sea
You'll be safer here with me
In a sky blue mind
Swooning from the heat of the day
Wild tempestuous nights
Fall to rest with drowsy hearts
Holding hands as we sleep
Shall we go... - Track Name: Love & Laughter
-
Follow You with my eyes
Wish that i could be your shadow
Talk to you in a whisper
Softer than a song
And when you cry
I'll be the light that slips in under your door
And when you yearn
I will scour the earth for an answer
It's love and a little laughter
It's a smile the morning after
It's love and a little laughter
Hey Yeah
We're all dreamers after dark
Raptured with desire
My heart is at full swell
In the hollow of my core
And when you sleep I'll be a breath away from your skin
And when your spirit fails I will fill the room with silence
I will fill the room with silence
It's love and a little laughter
It's a smile the morning after
It's love and a little laughter
Hey Yeah
Shall we meet under flame trees
Ignited by their fire
Surrender words that go unspoken
Just lay back and watch them fly
It's love and a little laughter
It's a smile the morning after
It's love and a little laughter
Hey Yeah - Track Name: Ferris Wheel
-
You're like a ferris wheel
Going round in me
Like a roller coaster
Without an end
And as I watch the clouds
As they turn round
I find I cant let go
let go
Like the sun, lower than low
Hello Bagdhad, Rome, Marseilles
Same man, different face
Balloons in his gut
Fever in his eye
And as he watches the earth
As it spins and turns
He finds he can't let go
let go
Like the sun, lower than low
Like an acrobat
head barely touching ground... - Track Name: Rolling Flow
-
Threatening sky
Failing light
Sheltered from the harsh winds
Built a bonfire
Danced together in a field of footprints
Shadows like trembling souls
Our instincts entwined
With the sea at full voice
And the white birds way overhead
Te ne aroha ia hau
this love of ours
rolling flow
Te ne aroha is hau
rolling flow
Breathless sway
Our finders trace
Like veins through a valley
Giving life to all wounds
By your kiss
Entering the shallows
To a dark longing need
in a boiling blue
With the sea at full voice
And the white birds way overhead
Te ne aroha ia hau
this love of ours
rolling flow
Te ne aroha is hau
rolling flow
No compass to guide us
Past the point of land's end
Te ne aroha... - Track Name: Air
-
I walked in to your room
You weren't there
The unmade bed lay there
With your impression
Your blue silk dress fell from the sheets like sky
I opened up your drawer
Bursting with
The tattered shirts of paint and turpentine
Of days out on the porch beneath the sun
Drinking wine
And even if you go
My love
The Air
Is warm where you might be
In this vertigo
My love
The Air
Is warm where you might be
Is warm where you might be
Hours dry like bone
And your tears
Like tiny continents upon the pillow
I never understood your world that well
The air is warm....
