Following a short dancing career, she entered the music industry and released her debut album The Black Cat Neighborhood in 2010 which peaked at number three in Denmark and went on to be certified platinum. Fallulah has been compared to Florence + the Machine, Timur Bairam, Marina and the Diamonds and Bat for Lashes.

Fallulah grew up in Tårnby, Denmark, and she has a Romanian father and Danish mother. She attended Kalundborg Gymnasium, but spent much of her childhood on dancing tours in the Balkans and Eastern Europe with her performing parents. When she was nine, her father died and the family moved to Jyderup, North West Zealand where Apetri continued to dance. At twenty one, she moved to New York for dance but returned to Denmark to focus on music.

Her musical career began in 2009 with her first single As I Lay My Head, which was recognized as P3s Uundgåelige (P3 Unavoidable) by radio station DR P3 as it rose on the Danish Singles Chart. In 2010, her debut, The Black Cat Neighborhood, was released and reached #3. Single Out Of It reached #1 on the Singles Chart. Her second album, Escapism, was released in February 2013 at #2, although no singles charted. With the release of Escapsism in 2013, Fallulah had fulfilled his contract with Sony Music.

At the end of January 2015, Fallulah began posting photos on social media that she was in London, and was recording a new album. In March 2015, Fallulah's two previous albums were released internationally through Instant Records, owned by American producer Richard Gottehrer, who was behind The Raveonettes' breakthrough in the United States.

On September 4, 2015, the first single, "Social Club" was released from Fallulah's third album. On October 23, 2015, the single "Sorrow Is A Shadow" was released. The song is about her father who died of cancer when she was 9 years old. On December 11, 2015, the third single from the album "Ghostfriend" was released, while it was announced that the title of the new album will be Perfect Tense, and that it will be released February 26, 2016. In addition, cover and track list were published. The album is produced by Liam Howe and published through Instant Records. On January 19, 2016, the fourth single, "Perfect Tense" was released from the forthcoming album. The song is also the title song from the album.

Bridges
Fallulah Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
And when we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
And when we get wet

We hang to dry

I can do it
I can bring it
I can screw it
I can sing it
I can screw it
I can bring it
I can do it
I can sing it

If I stand still
like a shark I'll die

I can lose it
I can find it
Whether it's my heart or mind
I can lose it
I can find it
Whether it's my heart or mind

It's hard to leave it all behind, ohh

Somebody gotta pick up the phone when I call
Sitting here, waiting, doing nothing at all

When I fall, I have to rise
Honey, you gotta come with me tonight (Hey)

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
And when we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
And when we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
When we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
When we get wet
We hang to dry

Hiah, hiah, hiah, hiah,
Hiah, hiah, huhu, hiah,

City high, city low
Gotta gotta gotta gotta gotta go
City low, gotta gotta go
We keep saying things without a sound

I can choose it
I can use it
I can be geronimo
I can choose it
I can use it
I can be geronimo

I've got to turn myself around, oh
Geronimooooo
Geronimooooo (Hey)

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
And when we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
And when we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
When we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
When we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges
When we get wet
We hang to dry

We can go there over bridges
Under bridges, over bridges

When we get wet
We hang to dry

I caught Fallulah and her band playing live in Athens on European Music Day 2010, had no idea who she was, but the songs was so good and her vibe and energy on stage was so mesmerizing! I had forgotten how brilliant this video was.
