Gaines studied art before becoming a singer as a teenager. He joined a local cover band then left later and released his first, self-titled album in 1992 after signing to Chrysalis Records. He released albums in 1994 and 1998, then had a breakthrough in 2001 when his cover of " In Your Eyes " became an Adult Contemporary hit. Speaking with Songfacts about his record company experience, Gaines said: "I think it was great recording for a label - that label, any label - it has been great. Since leaving Chrysalis / EMI, I went on to do the same thing for other labels, and those experiences have gone and are going great as well. In the US, I recorded for Rykodisc and Artemis Recors. Overseas, my records came out on Epic, Virgin."

Falling Apart
Jeffrey Gaines Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Really can feel anyone else
Cause everyday some ungodly
Thing goes astray
And plays on my heart
Where is relief
What's the solution
Can somebody please pray for us all
What's this world coming to
It's breaking my heart
It feels like it's all
Falling apart
Show me I'm wrong
Make me a liar
But don't wait too long
I'm losing my faith
Cause everywhere it's the same delusion
And someone declares a kingdom must fall
Show me the way to resolution
Put weapons away and save us all
What are we gonna do
What's this world coming to
It's breaking my heart
It feels like it's all
