Cover art for Downfall lyrics by Matchbox Twenty

When I first listened to this song, I didn't like it very much because the choir sounded strange to me. Now it is one of my favourite Matchbox Twenty songs.

To me this song always makes me think of the vulnerabilty and uncertainty that can come through in a relationship. It shows the insecurity that Rob (or whoever wrote this song) feels in his relationship, like he has nothing to give her, even though I am sure this isn't the case.

The passion in this song takes my breath away, it just seems so powerful. It is a shame that they couldn't tour with the choir, but their concert for this cd was awesome!
