《Fall Back》是一首充斥 Indie Rock 气息的歌曲,旋律简单却抓耳,歌词略带迷茫,展现了在快节奏生活中寻找自我,却又害怕改变的矛盾心态。歌曲的配景似乎描述了一个人在追求恋爱或目标时,遇到的犹豫和退缩。歌中重复涌现的“Hey hey”既像是一种自我抚慰,又像是面对现实的无奈。
歌曲的和弦进行相对简单,主要围绕 E, B, C#m, A 这四个和弦展开,既可以使用开放和弦,也可以使用横按和弦。这种和弦进行营造出一种慵懒而舒适的氛围,与歌曲的主题异常契合。歌曲开头部分使用第五品、第七品和第九品的横按和弦进行铺垫,为歌曲增添了一丝律动感。
弹奏技巧:
The whole song pretty much follows the progression E, B, C#m, A. They switch between mostly open chords and bars higher up the neck. The song starts with the lower chords and switches back and forth later. The opening is the only part that's different - I play bars starting on the fifth fret, and moving up to the 7th and then 9th. The chords come in about halfway through the vocals, but you can play them the whole time.
The open chords are: And the bars are : E B C#m A E B C#m A Ab E 0 x x x x 7 9 5 4 A 2 2 4 0 7 9 11 7 4 D 2 4 6 2 9 9 11 7 5 G 1 4 6 2 9 8 9 6 6 B 0 4 5 2 9 7 9 5 6 E 0 2 4 0 7 7 9 5 4
And with the lyrics:
A B C#m B A Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey hey A B C#m Hey hey, hey hey hey, Ab Hey hey, hey he-ey hey
E
Well I'm moving kind of slow B Down that same old path C#m A Wasting time inside this hour glass She's coming up ahead now And I feel, yes I feel My head turning like a race car wheel
Maybe I'll try to say hi another time I've gotta find a way to get inside your mind I'll talk smoothe and walk one step closer Be real cool, dang real cool
A B
say what you want, say what you mean C#m E question yourself are you really what you seem? say who you are, say what you mean question yourself are you really what you dream?
Now here I come one more time But she slides on by Not even a second look She took the bait right off that hook I've got my blinders on tight I pull my cap a little lower I can hide, hide away
(these are barred:) E B You may think that this is easy for me C#m B C#m But there's a lot of things you don't know, B C#m A You don't care, you don't want to see Long while since I've got myself across But maybe there's a reason for that Even if I caught you I'd throw you back. Chrous hey...hey... I really don't want to fall back because you don't seem like you care and if I would fall back you don't seem like you care fall down your back, fall down your back fall down your back, fall down your back I will not, I will not hold, hold you back you don't seem like you care Fall back...you don't Fall back...you don't Fall back...you don't
