South African Super Hard Rock Group ‘Fear Of Falling’ Releases ‘All My Time’ Single With New Vocalist Ross Harding
South African Super Rock Group Fear Of Falling has been on a roll the past 18 months, with no sign of easing their foot off the gas! Their highly anticipated 5th single called ‘All My Time’ is available today on all platforms.
‘All My Time’ is the first single with new vocalist Ross Harding, who joins the lineup with drummer Dale Schnettler, guitarist Lloyd Timke and bassist Brendon McCaig. With this lineup Fear Of Falling begins to fulfil the full potential of this supergroup.
‘All My Time’ is a song that reflects on the short duration we have available to live our lives to the fullest for a meaningful existence, within a world that is in a perpetual state of chaos.
Ross Harding (Vocals) shares that “The writing and recording process for ‘All My Time’ was really interesting to me. The musical arrangement had been fleshed out already, more or less, so it was about sitting down in studio and piecing together lyrics, first of all, and vocal melodies. Inspiration for lyrics is often a subconscious process for me, while words hit the page without any real consideration for their deeper meaning. It’s the retrospective look at the songs that show me their meanings, at least, how they unveil themselves to me, or how I interpret that meaning. The overarching theme of ‘All My Time’ is about making the most of the short time we have in life, within a world in perpetual chaos. While life comes with extreme challenges, to be alive is a gift.”
Vocally the track delivers a powerful, yet restrained arrangement, reminiscent of a theatre-like production with highs and lows that take you on a journey of deliverance … and almost stadium-like anthem, living and breathing its way through the almost 4 minutes, through the creative talents of the musicians involved. It’s lifelike in the way that it takes breaths and pauses, before driving forward and delivering a massive chorus – all understated by the melodic basslines that create magic.
The band can be seen maturing through its development, and Ross Harding could not have delivered a better performance on his first single with the band! Fear Of Falling has skilfully learnt and developed their sound, showing why they are on top of their game and the Rock Scene in Africa!
