about

A classic sounding jazz waltz with gently satirical lyrics spoken by a narrator who is not entirely sure she wants to be caught in a love affair. The lilting melody and central refrain of the lyrics - “I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling” - are echoed by the pendular motion of acrobats and parachutes swinging across the screen, interspersed with live, rustic-toned studio footage. The song, which feels like it could have been written in another era, features shimmering textures from the string quartet and nylon-string guitar, commanding vocals by Mercedes Inez Martinez, and soaring violin and trumpet solos by Lucia Thomas and Emily Kuhn.

lyrics

When your heart ensnares my own with its fine tendrils
And as you weave a net with fibers spun from dreams and kisses
I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling

I can feel my heart beat faster, I don’t know why
It could be love or possibly the pounding thrill of danger
I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling

I should leave before I’m tangled up in your life
But how can I return to solitude, or is it freedom?
I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling

As you wrap me in your arms and say that you’ll stay
I’m caught between my love, my instincts, and the lure of safety
I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling?

I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling?
I wonder if you’ll catch me when I’m running or when I’m falling?
