If Anyone Falls (Stevie Nicks Cover Song)

Candy Apple Blue Apollo Rogers Nick Bramlett If Anyone Falls Stevie Nicks Cover Song
Candy Apple Blue - If Anyone Falls
(ft. Apollo Rogers and Nick Bramlett)

It's a real thrill for Hoyt and I to get the chance to record with Apollo Rogers and Nick Bramlett on our cover of the classic Stevie Nicks song "If Anyone Falls." Recording this song as a duet has given it a completely different vibe. We wanted to take it in a new direction.

This release has been a long time coming. We've been Stevie Nicks fans since before we were teenagers. When "If Anyone Falls" came out I was only 11 years old and Hoyt was 9. I remember watching the music video on MTV and being vastly impacted by her visual and vocal performance of the song.

Stevie's music, both as a solo artist and with Fleetwood Mac, has tremendously influenced us as songwriters. Even though we have a wealth of our own original material to record, we thought it was the right time to pay homage to one of the best romantic poets to ever walk the earth.

When we were laying down the vocals on Sunday, Apollo reminded me of something that I had long forgotten. He said, "A duet is a conversation." And that really resonated with me. Good music is and should be about connecting with people. It's my greatest wish that you connect with the music we make.

We hope you will enjoy our cover of "If Anyone Falls" as much as we enjoyed the process of recording it.

Sincerely, Carly of Candy Apple Blue

Lyrics

"Moving Out of Town"

All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse 1:
Lately, all I think about is leaving
This town has torn me inside out, I'm bleedin'

Lead In:
I'm gonna find my tribe
I'm gonna get out alive
Nothing or no one can make me stick around

Chorus:
I'm movin' out of town, in search of safer ground
Movin' out of town, where allies can be found

Verse 2:
Breakout when the moment's right you'll know it
You can live your life with pride and own it

Lead In 2:
I know I'm born this way
Yas queen! Today we slay!
Riding rainbows that lift me off the ground

Chorus:
I'm movin' out of town, in search of safer ground
Movin' out of town, where allies can be found
I'm movin' out of town, where love is all around
Movin' out of town, it’s time to claim my crown

(Guitar Solo) Yeah!

Post Chorus:
(He's really movin') Moving out of town!

Spoken Breakdown:
I've been living here too long where I don't belong
And I’m not gonna stay!

Lead In:
I'm gonna find my tribe
I'm gonna get out alive
Flying unicorns that lift me off the ground

Last Chorus:
I'm movin' out of town, where love is all around
Movin' out of town, it’s time to claim my crown

I’m moving out of, moving out of town
Moving out of, moving out of town
I’m moving out of, moving out of town
Moving out of, moving out of town
I’m moving out of town
(He's really movin') Moving out of town!
