About This Track
'Fading' by Basement is a 2011 alternative track from the album 'I Wish I Could Stay Here'. The lyrics paint a bleak moment of collapse, where hard rain feels like it is washing everything away, leaving the singer sick, empty, and breaking down as they hear their own name in their head. With images of things falling apart and “nothing stays the same”, it is a song about disintegration and the panic of watching stability disappear.

Lyrics
rain falls hard, washes me away. i feel sick. i feel sick, so empty, so ordinary. in my head i heard you call my name. i'm breaking down i'm fading. and everything i had will fall apart. nothing stays the same

Basement are back with what might just be their best album yet.
Each track is quick to entwine with and then tug sharply on your heartstrings.
Basement have the album they’ve always wanted.

It’s Download time, guys. Three days of mud, trying to survive the wonderful British weather, and some of the biggest bands in rock. It’s always a weeke...
