Music Review // SHEAL "Falling Asleep"
One of the best things about music is how powerful it can feel without having to be loud. "Falling Asleep" is by no means a song in a genre like metal- it's neither really abrasive nor in your face- but it does carry strong vibes. A slower moving, piano-laced song, there is something to be said within this song about not only falling asleep but whether or not you wake up. On the surface, this could be a song about getting a good night's rest, but at the same time it can be about death and the finality of it all. When this song first begins the soft, delicate piano notes coming through remind me a bit of Ben Folds. The way that the vocals come in with other sounds remind me of a song which is just on the verge of being a ballad but not quite a ballad by someone such as Lana Del Rey. But as we go through the song, it is obvious that SHEAL is taking this sound so that it becomes that very genre of when you hear it, all you will think about it SHEAL....
