The one permanent fixture amidst the Fall's ever-changing line-up was Mark E. Smith (1957 – 2018). Smith's lyrics are free, unboxed and unpredictable, touching on an extremely wide range of subjects and places, and caring little for being tied down to easily digestible messages.
Smith's singing could put off some people, but others find it a uniquely expressive instrument. Smith was not a conventionally great vocalist, but his keen sense of rhythm, his energy and personality more than made up for this.
The Fall's music changed depending on the line-up at a given time. Always experimental, Mark E. Smith claimed to invent several musical genres, including house music; "we were doing that years ago" and even the internet. "He told me I didn't understand, that we were from the bleak industrial wastes of North England, or something, and that we didn't understand the Internet. I told him Fall fans invented the Internet. They were on there in 1982." One thing that is for sure is that The Fall (and their fans) always pushed the boundaries, and were never afraid to experiment.
The Fall were a favorite group of DJ John Peel, recording 24 sessions for his BBC1 radio program over the years.
The Fall's back catalogue consists of 29 studio albums, and is very fragmented with a seemingly endless number of compilations and semi-official live albums.
In 2006, British music-critic Dave Simpson published an entertaining account of a journalist's attempt to track down all 43 former members of The Fall in the Guardian. Many previous members have been fired, often with little or no notice. Simpson's ongoing effort was subsequently described at greater length in his book "The Fallen" (2008). His effort to track down the final unaccounted stragglers of at least 50 previous members of The Fall - including drummer Karl Burns - continues in his blog. Having decried Simpson's book as a "hatchet job" in the pages of Pseud. Mag., a Fall fan-mag, Mark E. Smith countered in short order with his autobiography "Renegade: The Lives and Tales of Mark E. Smith" (Viking, 2008/Penguin 2009).
Mark E. Smith died on 24 January 2018, aged 60.

이렇게 숨기고있는데
내 맘이 보인다면
그대도 숨기고있나요?
내 맘이 보이나요?
언제쯤 알게 됐나요?
그대도 그렇다면 나에게 말해요
조심스럽지만
다른 얘기하다
슬그머니 말한다면(그대 맘)
어떨런지
(허락할 수 있나요?)
이제는 보이나요?
이미 다 얘기했는데
그래도 모른다면 나도 잊을까요?
조심스럽지만
심각하게 얘기하면 어떨까?
다른 얘기하다
슬그머니 말한다면(그대 맘)
어떨런지(허락할 수 있나요?)
이제는 보이나요?

그래도 모른다면 나도 잊을까요?
The lyrics to The Fall's song "C" express a desire to know if the singer's feelings are reciprocated. The opening lines ask if the other person can see the singer's heart, which they have been hiding. The singer wonders if the other person is also concealing their emotions. The song goes on to express a longing to know when the other person started to feel the same way and encourages them to speak up if they feel the same. The repeated refrain of "조심스럽지만 심각하게 얘기하면 어떨까?" ("What if we talk seriously, but carefully?") shows the singer's hesitancy to reveal their own feelings but also their desire to move beyond the ambiguity and uncertainty.
