Chapterhouse - Falling Down

[@mason500]

This is exactly what I imagined this songs music video would be

[@MachFiveFalcon]

I'm a fan of another shoegaze band called "Lush", and the moment I saw this video, I had a strong feeling it would be shoegaze as well. Called it!

[@RicardoMartinez-oh9sq]

This is Beatles-like psychedelic music, I love it.

[@michaeldudek9685]

They did a cover of the Beatles "Rain" as a B-Side on one of their singles, in fact. Or on an E.P.? It's out there somewhere.

[@Sammmc99]

Wish I knew more people who would dig this song as much as I do :/

best way to meet more people with similar music tastes is be more involved in the culture, go to shows, join subreddits, use things like rateyourmusic etc.

This song is so cool and otherworldly, gives me the chills and makes me feel like I'm floating at the same time.

That's because you are.

[@MachFiveFalcon]

Shoegaze is maybe my favorite music genre ever! If you like Chapterhouse, I highly recommend "Nothing Natural" by Lush and My Bloody Valentine.

The best reaction I have ever witnessed was at a club in Leister Square circa 2000. I was crashung at my mates place (We've known each other from the age of four), He was a DJ at the time, DJ Chris Rice- the English one , not the Aussie. He pulled up the Chapterhouse album and said he was going to play their most famous single. Then he said he had to go to the bog and left me in charge. I Played this TUNE and the previously empty dance floor filled up and Chris asked me, "What was the name of that song?" It was an Indie club. And we had been snorting the ol' Marching Dust and playing with Mary Jane. And we had a tub full off Bud in ice water in the DJ booth, it was part of Chris's payment. AHH HAPPY DAZE!
