Song Details
The track features thunderous drums and piercing guitars, with frontman James McGovern delivering lyrics that resonate during the captivating chorus: “Do not put me on/do not hold/do not feed/do not carve,” he sings.
In a press release discussing the song, McGovern stated: “I can’t talk; you can’t wear me, you can’t keep me, I can’t feed me, I can’t whip me. Autumn approaches. The fall is unavoidable. The fall is one finger on the self-destruction button, while the other maintains a meditative pose.”

“The Fall” marks the fourth track from the upcoming album Blindness, following earlier releases “Canomet Pretend to Know,” “Words Lost Meaning,” and “Love of Country.” The recent single was published in a limited 7-inch format and is exclusively available for download. Both singles can be found on the band’s website and on Bandcamp shop, with all profits benefiting the charity organization “Medical Assistance to the Palestinians.”
The release date for Blindness is set for February 21, and pre-orders are already available here. This record follows the acclaimed 2023 release, “Gigi’s Recovery,” which came four years after their debut album “When I Have Fears.”
In previous discussions with NME, McGovern explained the album’s title: “We had several names in the running, but they quickly faded away. Ultimately, Blindness became the sole title that encapsulated the theme of the entire record. It represents a denial of belief, alongside the struggle against belief, reflecting the darker side of Irish identity.”
He elaborated: “I believe that blindness is an inherent quality of humanity. We all possess blind spots. We aim to engage with each person, task, and song as sincerely as possible, but it is essential to grasp how much we fail to see.”
