Sprouting from the high vibrational vortex that is Australia's Eastern-most tip - Byron Bay - the music of Babe Rainbow acts as an extension of the consciously living community that has made the area so magnetic for decades.

Gently psychedelic and lightly jammy, simmering on mechanised samba rhythms and stratospheric flute with a Gainsbourg swagger. Babe Rainbow’s sound is vividly respectful of the past whilst emphatically living in the present, a collection of sounds and sentiments from a place between yesterday and tomorrow.

Angus, Jack, Elliot and Louise alongside their patient producer Sam Joseph (King Gizzard), Reap the fertile rewards of music borne of fruit trees and honey mead, surfing and self-sufficiency, Babe Rainbow’s music bristles with the life of the region from whence it came.

There is another artist with the same name:

2. Babe Rainbow is the moniker of Vancouver-born musician/producer Cameron Reed. Reed has been considered of the vanguard of new Canadian electronic musicians having released two albums since 2010 on the acclaimed Warp Records (Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Grizzly Bear). His work has received critical acclaim from outlets such as The New Yorker, Exclaim, CBC, Pitchfork, and The Fader. Reed has performed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and toured across Canada, the United States and Europe supporting artists like Animal Collective, Battles, and Oneohtrix Point Never. Falling Apart, due out on July 7, 2014, is Reed’s third album following a short hiatus performing in the touring band for the R&B project How To Dress Well.

Babe Rainbow now lives and works in Toronto, ON. In addition to releasing Falling Apart, Reed has been tapped to score a new documentary by Austin Lynch.

Fall in Love
Babe Rainbow Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you fall in love
You put your shadow on
Nobody needs no-one
40 days and 40 nights live
Without love by your side

Lets fall in love again

Love's a catapult

Bend your arms and say the word
Finally, the age of return

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Babe Rainbow's song Fall In Love convey the idea that when you fall in love, you become vulnerable and put yourself out there for the world to see. In essence, you project your shadow or true self upon someone else. However, the song also suggests that being alone for an extended period without love can be quite difficult, as indicated by the line "40 days and 40 nights live without love by your side." The song implores the listener to "fall in love again," perhaps insinuating that even though they may have been hurt or jaded in the past, they should take the risk of vulnerability again to find love.

The lyrics also compare love to a catapult, implying that it can propel one into another dimension or reality. The mention of bending one's arms and saying the word further emphasizes the idea that love takes action and effort. Lastly, the lyrics mention the "age of return," which could signify the act of returning to a state of love, innocence, or perhaps even one's true self. The song Fall In Love ultimately communicates the idea that love is transformative and should be embraced, even if it comes with the risk of getting hurt or rejected.
