I am revisiting 'There I go falling in love again' which myself, Bobby Eli (R.I.P.) and Chiquita Green wrote in Philly, 2008. Bobby did the production, mixing and mastering work, but I did come up with the original song demo, 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 and believed it would be a good song! Chiquita was the featured artist on the original release and is a tough act to follow.
I enjoyed the 2008 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.
The demo is evolving so see what you think. Some more wah wah has been added and indeed some fresh guitar/wah wah work from a great talent, Piera Mussado from Italy. Also the last minute of the song has a refreshing counter melody changing things slightly as it chugs along to the fade out.
If released, I will include the original short 2005 demo instrumental which was simply named '25' in the early days (written for a potential UK Northern Soul film). It then became '25's another number' which had lyrics on its own merit, then 'Never too late' and finally 'There I go falling in love again'. In fact I think there was another titled version of the song somewhere. You can hear the remnants of 'Never too late' as a lyric on the last line of the chorus on 'TIGFILA'. Stay tuned🎸
