Falling Into View – Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful) (2025)
While the foursome Falling Into View may have begun its musical journey in mid-2025, the members are no newbies to the music industry. Vocalist Lyssa made waves as a BBC Introducing artist, while veteran musician Allan takes the role of chief songwriter. Previously playing alongside Allan, drummer Gordy joined the mix and brought along long-time friend Rob on bass. A former bandmate of Rob, lead guitarist Bernie was recruited, and everything just fell into place. Or, if you want to be cheesy, it all fell into view as if it was meant to be. Today, we leap into Falling Into View’s new single, ‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’.
Following their well-received debut and sophomore singles ‘What Is It Like To Lose?’ and ‘On With The Show’, the UK-based group connected with award-winning producer Gavin Monaghan to release ‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’. As with previous material, the new track blurs the line between country and Americana with a flutter of indie-pop peeking from the background. For me, the bold bass takes the fore, seemingly stepping out like a friend ready to hold your hand. The soaring guitar and anchoring drums weave across the track with kaleidoscopic allure. Yet, and this is where ‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’ differs, the swift slice of Julieanne Bourne’s violin brings a fairy-like lightness along with a quick sense of haunting.
Melodically, the arrangement is hearty and full, but there is a sense of vulnerability dancing along the track. Lyssa’s rich vocals offer a nostalgic warmth that you only find in country music – a perfect expression of raw emotion wavering in the song’s theme. A melody penned during Allan’s move from his family home, ‘Things (That I Thought Might One Day Be Useful)’ speaks about that shelf of sentimental things that you rediscover and hold close, wondering if you should keep it because it really might be useful one day. Teetering on the line between happy and tearful remembrance, the single is a charming love song with an emotional twist.
