When you are lost, disconnected and alone....you'll know where I was in the birth of this song.
I am an independant artist, writing my own songs and co-writing with other musicians. I current perform in an accoustic duo with guitar player VIN BLACK. I am c
Story behind the song
On March 12th 2010, I played a show at the Trophy Case in Bradford Ontario, with my acoustic partner Vin Black. After the show we stayed up with friends jamming at Vin's place till sunrise.
The gig paid top dollar, the night was perfect!
I fell asleep on the floor...satisfied and in awe of the night.
Upon waking my mood was somber. Driving my mustang convertable thru the country roads, the day was gray and tears, though in my heart, would not come forth.
I should be on top of the world I thought to myself. Why am I feeling so blue?
A few hours later, I found myself on the door step of one of my song-writing collaborators, Bill Oulster. Bill and I had been hanging and writing songs for about eight weeks, during a time when Vin was working in Japan.
I'd never popped in before.
My hair was unwashed and my makeup all but smudged left overs from the night before.
I was out in public wearing black star pjs and trying to to get my head together.
Bill, who'd been on the road overseas, talked to me about the after show blues as I pondered my lack of feeling over warm tea.
He'd never seen me this way - I was so hollow.
I'm usually floating around in 10 heaven...with more energy than a 17 year old testosterone boy jacked up on caffeine.
Lying on Bill's floor, refusing to get up, disconnected and low..."I feel the Crash" was born.
I will never forget Bill's advise as I left that day...he said, "Jacqueline, you might want to start living life around 7 or 8, because after 10, there is only 1"
Lyrics
I feel - nothing at all
Head on the floor
Back to the wall
I can’t connect
No beauty inside
Sun’s going down
No tears in my eyes.
You thought you always had it
It doesn’t matter any more
I’ve never felt this way before
Like my world is falling down
And I don’t have a friend around
How can I be so naive,
After everything I’ve seen?
It doesn’t matter anymore
I’ve never felt this way before
When the walls come down
I’ll be falling,
when the walls come down.
I feel - nothing at all
Head on the floor
Back to the wall
I can’t connect
No beauty inside
Sun’s going down
No tears in my eyes.
You thought you always had it
It doesn’t matter any more
I’ve never felt this way before
Like my world is falling down
And I don’t have a friend around
How can I be so naive,
After everything I’ve seen?
It doesn’t matter any more
I’ve never felt this way before
Oh OH - Oh OH - OH OH OH
I feel - nothing at all
Head on floor
Back to the wall
It doesn’t matter anymore
I’ve never felt this way before
Like my world is falling down
And I don’t have a friend around
How can I be so naive
after everything I’ve seen?
It doesn’t matter any more
I’ve never felt this way before
Oh OH - OH OH - OH OH OH
I feel - nothing at all
Head on the floor
Back to the wall
I can’t connect
No beauty inside
Sun’s going down
No tears in my eyes.
