Dear All,

The first single “Falling Down” was sent to you via MMX (stream only) – the single is produced by Justin Timberlake and also features him. We will send you the album as soon as delivered so please spend a moment with it when you get it and then we look forward to hearing your plans.
We will update the DX as the tools come in – please see some of the delivery dates below.
DATES
Red Carpet Massacre : release date November 6 (still to be confirmed)
Full album : Delivery week of August 20
Single : Delivered
Artwork single : Delivery Week of August 13
Artwork album : Delivery Week of August 20
Video shoot : Week of September 17
Final video : Delivery Mid October
US Radio date : September 11
PROMOTION
The band will be in LA on September 16 (and the week following that date) as they are doing a Post Emmy party for Entertainment Tonight so if you have any advance promotion that needs to get done we can do it that week in LA. Please let us know asap.

This is 100% accurate and 100% reliable info!
I guess Sept 11 date is only the radio release date and not as big a deal if it was the retail date. Most stations can introduce it over the week if they wanted to
I guess the retail date will be a few weeks before the album is due when the video is done = mid Oct
VMH
Those dates look spot on.
Last I heard was 11/6 or 11/13 for the album.

The song is not really upbeat...and the "falling down" is in first person about the singer of the song. No reference to towers (that I remember). I think they already did their 9/11 song with "Point Of No Return"!
This song is more of a personal thing. About overcoming. The lyrics to the pre-chorus (to me) remind me of the lyrics to the pre-chorus of "Ordinary World"...they aren't the same...nor do they sound the same, but they convey the same kind of emotion.
Beginning of the second verse, if I remember correctly (wish I had my own copy!!!):
"Cold is the wind rushing past my lonely head"

FD - I have heard has a nice beat to it and is an amazing song - VERY MELODIC
JT is on it quite a lot!
Looks as if NR might not even be a single....
VMH
It does have a nice beat.
A little stuttery acoustic gtr...a bit of a boom boom bap beat...nice Nick sounds in the chorus...REALLY nice breakdown...guitar solo and heavier drums on the outro. VERY commercial.

I really think the more traditional minded Duran fans will find a lot here to like, not least the fcuking lovely pre-chorus and the chorus itself. The verse lyrics strike me as a lil clumsy, but that never stopped Si before!

I have only heard 60 seconds or so down a phoneline - ha
So hard for me to comment
the 2 people I know who have heard it are not big DD fans BUT love this song!
VMH
Ahhhh, I got the phone treatment first...then was lucky enough to have a Sony visit the day that the mastered version was delivered.
It only gets better!

I believe "Falling Down" has something to do with Simon's motorcycle accident in the early 90's.

@blaze
Absolutely. The whole first verse is about damaging one's testicles. Seriously!
