Fallin & Flyin

Jeff Bridges Colin Farrell filming Crazy Heart




It's funny how fallin' feels like flyin', for a little while.
It's funny how fallin' feels like flyin', for a little while.

Never see it comin' 'til it's gone.
It all happens for a reason even when it's wrong.
Especially when it's wrong.


I got tired of being good - started missing that old feeling {great} free
stopped acting like I thought I should - and went on back to being me


love this scene in the movie. ~ 50 min in.
so, it was filmed at an actual concert:
Jeff Bridges and Colin Farrell sing at a Toby Keith concert on September 18, 2008 in Albuquerque NM while filming the movie Crazy Heart.


~spirit of Waylon Jennings? "Amanda..."
and his "I don't think Hank done it this way" (rhinestone suits, shiny cars) was used in the movie. I like Waylon J, a lot. and Hank Williams Jr. (I've heard them sing together and Hank Jr has deep voice, think of that as one kind of country, big men with deep voices) but Townes Van Zandt comes on - soundtrack also includes If I Needed You - and ----


also liked the opening song, slower, sung by Bridges, "Done everything a man can do. Everything but get a hold on you."
Hold on You - Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart)
reminds of what song? the melody: "I'm only tryin to get a hold on you. Only tryin to get a hold on you."


Fallin' & Flyin' | aroundthewatercooler: Five of the songs from the movie were co-written by Stephen Bruton: Hold On You, Fallin' & Flyin', Somebody Else, I Don't Know, and Gone Gone Gone.
first four sung by Bridges in the movie. last sung by Colin Ferrell as Tommy Sweet. *not* the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss song Gone Gone Gone (Done Moved On) - "Some sunny day, baby, when everything seems okay, baby, you'll wake up & find that you're alone. 'Cause I'll be gone. gone, gone, gone, really gone, gone gone gone, because you done me wrong" mmm.


... are there any movies about a broke-down woman redeemed by the love of a good man?
