Sydney songwriter CSÖKE (pronounced shock) explores themes of vulnerability as well being open to new experiences on her newest single, 'I Think I'm Falling'.
"I wrote this track with Chelsea Warner," CSÖKE says. "Her presence made me feel super calm to talk a bit about how I was feeling and I was scared I had lost the ability to write songs."We decided to write a song about the total opposite thing I was feeling at the time and write about that first realisation of falling in love, that first hit of emotion you feel, the 'oh sh.t' and the struggle I felt in my own experience of falling in love and pushing down my walls and allowing myself to feel things.
"It was a silver lining of what was going on in my life, when life felt like it was falling apart I was also falling in love for what felt like the first time."
Here, CSÖKE shares a few signs that indicate you are falling in love. Bless.
1: They're in the forefront of your mind in everything that you do
Even after all the time you've been with them, they're still all you think about. When you're driving to work, on the toilet or at work they pop up in your mind and are always there in a little, vacant spot in your brain just chilling.2: They feel like home
The butterflies finally go and are replaced with the sense of home. Butterflies happen when you don't know someone and everything is exciting and mysterious, but once you know that person you have this deep feeling of home and nothing seems right without them.3: You find meaning in everything
The sky looks brighter than usual, seeing other couples doesn't make you want to puke anymore. You try to find ways to bring them up in conversations and you find meaning in every song and how it relates back to them or the way you feel about them.4: You find yourself
Not finding yourself in them, but they make you so comfortable and accept you for who you are that the person you're truly meant to be starts to shine and so does theirs.All your weird quirks, flaws and gross human stuff starts to come out and they accept you for who you are. That's LOOOOVEEE!
5: You just know
When it happens, you just know. Everything in you will tell you that this person is for you with no doubts. If you're not sure then you probably aren't. It's a feeling that transcends time and can't fully be explained. That's why there are so many songs written about it.We are all trying to find the right words to convey what we're feeling. I could write 100 more and it wouldn't feel like enough. Love is translated in so many ways and not just through humans. Animals just know and can't express why but you feel it.
