[edit] Song information
Erasure member Vince Clarke described the origins of "I Could Fall in Love with You" [1]:
| “ | This is one of the few songs that existed in part before the Maine hotel room writing sessions. Before we started this album, I was really keen for it not to be mid-tempo - I'm having a mid-tempo crisis! Our albums seem to have got slower and slower, so I started searching for classic funk or disco baselines, put some ideas together with chord changes and baselines underneath, and emailed them to Andy for him to sing over the top. The song, like this album, is quite 'up' and uptempo because we're both in good spaces right now. | ” |
[edit] Music video
Erasure's website initially presented viewers with a "behind the scenes" look at the making of the music video for this song via RealMedia, Windows Media Player and QuickTime. The footage showed Clarke and Bell as cashiers in a shop-like set-up. The scenes were filmed with extras milling about in the foreground and the clips, filmed in front of a bluescreen, implied that special effects would be added in post production. However, this version seems to have been scrapped, as a call was put out for fans to submit video footage of themselves and loved ones in scenes depicting love or falling in love. These scenes (also including Clarke and Bell) were then edited together into a montage with a "falling in love" theme. This new version has sprung up on YouTube and also is viewable on Erasure's official website. Although titled an "alternative video", there are no plans to release the original. Whether there were technical errors with the original video or if the band simply changed their minds remains unknown.
