Description

Elvis Presley may not be the first name that comes to mind when you think of a crooner. But make no mistake: he could definitely croon, and he did so beautifully in I Can’t Help Falling In Love.

It’s one of the most iconic love songs of all time, performed by many different artists in many different ways: some intimate, others big and cinematic. My first thought was to go big, until I realized the song didn’t need volume. It needed vulnerability.

So we went small. A quiet, heartfelt arrangement led by a soaring soprano sax and a gorgeous string section. It’s delicate, but powerful. Understated, but deeply emotional. A love song that resonates across generations, and for that reason, it fits perfectly within the crooner tradition. Music with emotion and craftsmanship.

I Can't Help Falling In Love

Song lyrics

Wise men say, "Only fools rush in."

But I can't help falling in love with you


Shall I stay? Would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you?


Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be


Take my hand, take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you


Like a river flows

Surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be


Take my hand, take my whole life, too

For I can't help falling in love with you

No, I can't help falling in love with you
