The Fall

Album: Live It Up! (1986)

Songfacts®:

  • This song came about as Holly was sitting on her father's porch in rural North Carolina listening to demo music for an upcoming album - no one else was home at the time. Progressively, the sky became darker as a huge storm rolled in, knocking out the phone lines and the power. This song describes how scared she was at the time, being all alone with no one to call. >>
