Circuit Preacher – Fall Damage (Feat. Czarina)

No fall too deep: Circuit Preacher and Czarina deliver emotional depth and hypnotic sounds with ‘Fall Damage’

Sometimes a song hits a nerve where you least expect it. That's how I felt about Fall Damage by Circuit Preacher, who, togeth­er with Czarina, has cre­ated an atmo­spher­ic­ally dense synth pop bal­lad. The track sounds like a soundtrack to a dysto­pi­an film, in which hope and mel­an­choly dance togeth­er. The soft, almost bal­lad-like sounds form the per­fect basis for Czarina's eth­er­e­al vocals.

What par­tic­u­larly impressed me is the har­mony between the two voices. Circuit Preacher per­forms the song with an emo­tion­al urgency that touched me imme­di­ately. At the same time, Czarina's voice floats like a breath over the com­pos­i­tion – almost eth­er­e­al, yet powerful.

Musically, Fall Damage also impresses with its vari­ety. The song remains excit­ing and nev­er drifts into mono­tony, which is a big plus for me. The cine­mat­ic sound­scape is car­ried by pulsat­ing synths that har­mon­ize per­fectly with the dark, eleg­ant ele­ments. The refrain “You can hate me / But I don't feel fall dam­age” is par­tic­u­larly mem­or­able – a clear mes­sage of strength and resi­li­ence, which is also reflec­ted in the dark under­tone of the song.

The music video also deserves praise: it shows that you can achieve a lot with little. The min­im­al­ist aes­thet­ic per­fectly matches the song's sense of doom and under­lines its dysto­pi­an character.

Lyrics of "Circuit Preacher – Fall Damage (Feat. Czarina)"

Non sen­tio

Words can break you down and change you
Ordinary man
I can’t blame you if you need to take some time

Words can break you down and change you
Ordinary man
I can’t blame you if you need to take some time

You can hate me
You can hate me
But I don’t feel fall damage
I don’t feel fall damage

Non sen­tio
Non sentio
Non sentio
Non sentio

You can tell by the tone they use with cer­tain words
They don’t care if you get hurt
Sounds unfair but that’s just the way that this world works
No one gets what they deserve
So I’ll spare you the hate­ful things that i unlearned
Words I wish I nev­er heard
Things that made me wish that I
Just had hon­est alibis
Someone who was on my side

You can hate me
You can hate me
But I don’t feel fall damage
I don’t feel fall damage

Non sen­tio
Non sentio
Non sentio
Non sentio
