Reviewed: Jonnday ~ One Type of Falling (Film Clip)
Some people reading this would know that after Youth Alive Tasmania brought them down to play at a rally last year, I became a bit of a fan of an Australian group called Jonnday. Their single, ‘One Type of Falling’ has been available as a free download at their website when you sign up to their mailing list.
And hey, anything free is worth it, right?
Well, maybe not anything – but this certainly is.
Anyway, today, Jonnday release the ‘One Type of Falling’ film clip, and I was fortunate enough to be granted a sneak preview ahead of schedule.
And what a privilege it was. I’ve just finished watching it a few hours ahead of the public release. This film clip stands out far above what you’d expect from a Christian band hailing from the Central Coast of New South Wales.
I don’t want to give too much away, because I’d hate to spoil the surprise for everyone else. So I’m refraining from giving away much in the way of details.
What I will say is that there is a level of surrealism to the whole clip that lends itself to something far more epic than I expected. To be honest, my expectations weren’t overly high, not out of a lack of faith or low opinion of the group by any means. I was waiting for one of these more standard ‘first effort’ clips with lots of footage from live performances, things like that.
Certainly not something that seems like it could come out of some Hollywood fantasy film.
The quality of this video is brilliant. I loved the costumes and can just imagine that Jonnday would have had a lot of fun actually making this clip. It rings reminiscent of The Secret Garden or Alice in Wonderland – in my mind, anyway.
Great work, high standard, and just so entertaining. I’m off to watch it again!
Keep an eye out later this afternoon and view the clip for yourself at Jonnday’s Youtube channel!
Jonnday ~ One Type of Falling
I’m really liking this song right now. So bouncy, so happy, so fun!

One Type of Falling
I see a fire burning in your eyes
A desire, flame that burns so bright
And we really aren’t so different
But now will we ever be the same?
My words pull me to the ground
and I can’t take them back now
Well I
Only know of one type of falling
And I’m falling for you
Oh – show me that you’ve got me now
I think I’m falling just to find my mind
If you come through it’ll be alright
Cause you’re all I really had to find
And now will we ever be the same?
My words pull me to the ground
And I can’t take them back now
Well I
Only know of one type of falling
And I’m falling for you
Oh – show me that you’ve got me now
My hands, hands are wildly shaking
My hands, hands are wildly shaking
My hands, hands are wildly shaking
Don’t slip through my fingers
No time for escaping
Well I
Only know of one type of falling
And I’m falling for you
Oh – show me that you’ve got me now
I’m loving it!
While Your Lips Are Still Red
Nightwish ~ While Your Lips Are Still Red
Sweet little words meant for silence not talk
Young heart for love, not heartache
Dark hair full, catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss, while your lips are still red
While he’s still silent, rest
While bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand, while the hand’s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Love while night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour’s never a wasted one
The violin, the poet’s hand
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss, while your lips are still red
While he’s still silent rest
While bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand, while the hand’s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Love while night still hides the withering dawn
I absolutely adore this song. It’s powerful, and has a really great feeling behind it. It’s about, to me at least, the fading away of that ‘honeymoon’ phase of a relationship. We meet someone, we fall in love, we live in this anticipation, and then excitement when the relationship really flourishes.
But eventually that all fades away, it’s a reality. Some people hold on to that passion longer than others, but for everyone, it’s going to disappear at some point or another. So enjoy it: Kiss while your lips are still red, drown into eyes while they’re still blind, love while night still hides the withering dawn. Eventually, yes, reality will set in, and that shouldn’t be the end of something. True love wakes the next morning and faces the dawn together, the reality that comes with light being shed onto the situation and the people involved.
And it doesn’t just go for relationships. Almost everything new has a honeymoon phase that then begins to fade away.
We should enjoy things more. Really hold on to those moments that give us passion, really grasp those things that make life exciting.
