So What About It
The Fall · Other Songs - The Fall
Fall advice!
Fall advice!
Fall advice!
The year number 1
Has gone and turned
Into year of bomb
Tv wars 24 hours
But it happens
Fall advice!
Shaking my bones down the m14
Passenger seat gripped tight
And seriously
I cannot sleep
But Im happy
I cannot eat
So what about it?
It happens
It happens
It happens
Fall advice!
The works down the drain
And interest never wanes
So what about it?
Fall advice!
Yak! yak! yak!
Some are born to life
Some are born depressed
About it
Fall advice!
To parties underground
Youre driving around in lake districts
Youre stepping around
It doesnt't't matter to me
Cause it happens
Its magic
So what about it?
So What About It
The Fall's 'So What About It' captures the band's signature post-punk intensity and Marc E. Smith's distinctive lyrical delivery. Emerging from a prolific era of experimentation, the track exemplifies the group's ability to blend abrasive rhythms with cryptic, conversational phrasing. While the song stands as a standalone recording, it reflects the broader energy found in their extensive catalogue of singles and album cuts. The Fall consistently challenged conventional rock structures, often prioritizing attitude and repetition over traditional songwriting. This recording serves as a testament to their enduring influence on alternative music, showcasing the raw, unpolished sound that defined much of their output. Fans of the band's more direct, driving numbers will find this track representative of their core aesthetic, balancing melodic hooks with the group's characteristic angularity.
