Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Toto sumó uno de sus trabajos más potentes y complejos con "Falling in Between". Este álbum es, posiblemente, el más pesado y progresivo de su carrera, fusionando elementos de hard rock, metal progresivo y jazz fusión. Fue aclamado por sus seguidores más fieles como uno de sus mejores discos en décadas, una demostración de que su virtuosismo y su ambición seguían intactos.
El disco presenta una formación renovada y llena de energía, con el gran Greg Phillinganes en los teclados. Desde la potente pista que da título al álbum, queda claro que la banda no se anda con rodeos. De hecho, la interacción entre la guitarra de Steve Lukather y los teclados es sencillamente espectacular. Canciones como "Bottom of Your Soul" muestran su faceta más épica y melódica.
Pese a su complejidad, el álbum no renuncia a las grandes melodías que siempre han caracterizado a Toto. "Falling in Between" es un trabajo sin concesiones, la obra de una banda que, libre de presiones comerciales, decidió hacer el disco que realmente quería. Es una joya para los amantes del rock técnico y elaborado.

Letra
I've just got to find Find a way, back home to you girl Life's been Hell to pay I can't disobey, Gotta live in my world I hear voices calling From the faces never seen Darkness all around me I am falling in between You've been lookin' down Down to the ground On everything I say girl Hope just can't be found I'm so gagged and bound Because of you girl I hear voices calling From the places I have been Love and understanding Only flows from deep within Darkness that surrounds me I am falling in between..... - Dying on My Feet6:11
Letra
Dying on my feet Sure beats living on my knees These hands around my neck They get tighter as you squeeze I'd crawl across the water, baby Just to get away from you Take my life but make it shorter Seems the least that you could do Reach out Someone reach out to me Cause I've lost my way Sometimes we Give into things, when we lie and cheat, Say things My life's crumblin' down Time for me to pray Hold me in Deep inside, cause I'm dying on my feet Life is hard But I think, "Compared to what?" Can't see the things you get to But deserve just what you got Will you still forgive me baby If I don't come back for more Everything that ever mattered baby Is locked behind your door Can't judge Things I don't understand Since you walked away Easy to Feel this way, Cause I'm back on the street, well Life is A game you can't win You can only play Here I am I'm just dyin, I'm just dyin, I'm just dyin! Reach out Someone reach out to me Cause I've lost my way Sometimes we Give into things, when we lie and cheat, Say things My life's crumblin' down Time for me to pray Hold me in Deep inside, cause I'm dying, I'm just dyin', I'm just dyin' - Bottom of Your Soul6:58
Letra
Where are the children we lost not long ago Feel for the Mothers who weep for them I pray for the Fathers who are standing by their side In their world of pain and suffering Have you ever seen the look in a hungry child's eyes They can't eat money or promises Give them your smile and try holding out your hand Let them know you're there, let them know you're there Why is it always the ones that we love Are the ones that will never come home Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll Always remember the voice in your head Speaks to you when you're alone And it comforts you From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul You can swim in a river of tears they cry For they sleep on the winds of uncertainty Show us a sign and make us believe again There's no other way, oh, there's no other way Why is it always the ones that we love Are the ones that will never come home Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll Always remember the voice in your head Speaks to you when you're alone And it comforts you From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul Why is it always the ones that we love Are the ones that will never come home Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll Always remember the voice in your head Speaks to you when you're alone And it comforts you From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul Why is it always the ones that we love Are the ones that will never come home Why must all of the bridges we cross take their toll Always remember the voice in your head Speaks to you when you're alone And it comforts you From the top of your heart to the bottom of your soul - King of the World4:04
Letra
Smoke and mirrors It's a house of cards Everybody has windows And big cigars The law of the jungle Is very new to some The animals are vicious and arrogant And they eat their young I used to work my job from 9 to 5 I just survived I was the king of the world I had every thing thrown at me, That the judge and jury could hurl I was the man of the hour I would claw and scratch my way up, To the very top of the tower Helter skelter It's a den of thieves Sea of errors That a greedy man weaves A few really bad apples Always spoil the lot Rolling blackouts On everyone's block I go to work and try to make ends meet My life is over I was the king of the world I had everything I needed, I owned every type of girl I was the man of the hour I would claw and scratch my way, Up to the very top of the tower I was the king of the world I had everything I needed, I owned every type of girl I was the man of the hour I would claw and scratch my way, Up to the very top of the tower - Hooked4:36
Letra
Gimme some beer, Gimme some fear, Reality and fame Money from you Money for them Billions being made You think you got a real deal All you're buyin' is a fifth wheel They gotcha by the ying yang More dollar for the big bang And when you have to have it Somehow you always find away, You'll find a way Then it becomes a habit You'll rob your late friend's grave It's sex, it's drugs, And then we all fall down Get hooked, On life Or join the underground It's oil, it's guns, Bad guys we never see It's war, dead sons, Be all that you can be Give it a spin Maybe you'll win Nobody's gettin paid Lightin it up Shootin it up Ya really should be afraid You're lookin' for a new chin So they tighten up your old grin All you wanna do is fit in So they're gonna make you real thin It's just enough to tease you They nail you right between the eyes Nail you right between the eyes Somehow it will disease you While you're lobotomized It's meds, it's feds, Don't need no PhD's Load down, those sounds, We love our MP3's It's cribs, it's cars Mercedes BNZ It's abs, it's carbs Stop super-sizing me! It's sex, it's drugs, And then we all fall down Get hooked, On life Or join the underground It's crips, it's bloods It's pimped out S.U.V.'s It's court, prime time Those lawyer S.O.B.'s It's X, It's crack It's glass and A.D.D. It's cool, it's wack I'll pay you back Your kick, you prick You get the first one free You're cuffed, you're hooked, You're hooked. - Simple Life2:22
Letra
Days feel so lone My life seems short as years go by The chance that I took The feeling so strong I had to try All of the pain I left behind Been down the road My heart has been sold The price was deep The world that we have The wish that we've made is ours to keep All our emotions are so deep 'Cause I can't stop Falling in love with you All I want is a simple life All I really want is you All I want, all I need is a simple life... - Taint The World4:01
- Let It Go5:00
Letra
Staring death between the eyes Doesn't seem so far away So much pain in long goodbyes There is much I need to say You've been shadowing my door A tempest wind that never dies Every sorrow washed ashore No more tears to fill my eyes Let it go Gonna make your life whole Let it go Time to lose the crooked smile Cast your grief upon the ground Got no time for vain illusion Cause it's killin me inside Let it go Gonna make your life whole Let it go You should know It might be the anger you hide Your pride Maybe someone has stepped on your pride Every night It'll keep you awake every night when you're old Your heart Your heart has been painfully bruised Something to lose You still might have soething to prove Let it go Is it worth all the time you misuse for your sad demise When there's vengeance in your heart What comes next is up to you Better to think before you start Or you can dig that grave for two Let it go Gonna make your life whole Let it go Let it go Gonna make your life whole Let it go You should know It might be the anger you hide Your pride Maybe someone has stepped on your pride Every night It'll keep you awake every night when you're old Your heart Your heart has been painfully bruised Someone to lose You might still have someone to prove Let it go Is it worth all the time you misuse for your sad demise - Spiritual Man5:22
Letra
I heard about a man, walkin' on the water He had hope in his eyes He didn't wear a crown or have any money He didn't have any lies He had holes in his pockets He had holes in his hands He looked like an outlaw talkin' to his lover He was a spiritual man I wanna be a prince, not a king or a warrior I wanna have a special light in my eyes Wanna climb up a mountain, find a tree of wisdom I wanna feel good when I cry And maybe someday I could be a teacher I want that karma when you touch my hand I'll walk through the streets, Talking to the homeless in winter I wanna be a spiritual man, yeah I heard about a man who was born in the desert He rode for days and nights across the sand And one day, he came upon an angel The angel said, "Hey you, you're gonna be a spiritual man!" Last night I saw a man walkin' toward a club in Harlem He had a black case in his hands Went through the back door and pulled out his gold companion He closed his eyes and played all night LONG like a self-taught spiritual man - No End in Sight6:10
Letra
The curse of blood Falls upon this nation I wash my hands And hang my head in shame I pray for peace And forge the crooked valley This dreader fear Held prisoner inside me I search the stars, still I find No rhyme or reason I can't see a thing That's gonna make it right, oh make it right You're still walking at midnight Alone with voices in your mind You see the world in black and white You know until you see the light There ain't no end, no end in sight I can't justify The cleansing of society The human race It ain't no race at all I breach the flood Of political insanity Where hope once stood Is filled with lies and shame
