I am toying with a revisit to 'There I go falling in love again' which myself, Bobby Eli and Chiquita Green wrote in Philly, 2008. Bobby did most of the production work, but I did come up with the harpsichord and pizzicato strings idea😊 Chiquita organised all the wonderful vocal interpretations throughout the song.
The main chorus lick and the key change came from an incomplete demo I did years before and sent Bobby prior to the 2008 session. He liked it and believed if we worked on it, it would be a good song! So we did. Chiquita was the featured artist on the release and is really a tough act to follow. Scroll further down to hear that original version.
I loved the session with Bobby and Chiquita and how we worked with the rhythm track and sweetening bouncing ideas around. I think it's a great song and Chiquita's delivery superb. I believe there is more mileage with the song especially with a few different mixes too.
Anyway, the demo is evolving now so see what you think. I still have the second wah wah to put on and that's where it will get tricky. More updates later if I decide to pursue. I have decided to maybe commission the guitar work to see how it plays out. If I release this version, I will include the original short demo instrumental which was simply named '25' in the early days (written for a potential UK Northern Soul film), then became '25's another another number' which had lyrics on its own merit, then 'Never too late' and finally 'There I go falling in love again' which was released. You can hear the remnants of 'Never too late' as the last line of the chorus on 'TIGFILA'. Stay tuned.
