An overhead power line is a structure used in electric power transmission and distribution to transmit electrical energy along large distances. It consists of one or more conductors (commonly multiples of three) suspended by towers or poles. Since most of the insulation is provided by air, overhead power lines are generally the lowest-cost method of power transmission for large quantities of electric energy.
Towers for support of the lines are made of wood (as-grown or laminated), steel (either lattice structures or tubular poles), and occasionally reinforced wood. The bare wire conductors on the line are generally made of aluminum (either plain or reinforced with steel, or composite materials such as carbon and glass fiber), though some copper wires are used in medium-voltage distribution and low-voltage connections to customer premises. A major goal of overhead power line design is to maintain adequate clearance between energized conductors and the ground so as to prevent dangerous contact with the line, and to provide reliable support for the conductors, resilient to storms, ice load, earthquakes and other potential causes of damage. Today overhead lines are routinely operated at voltages exceeding 765,000 volts between conductors, with even higher voltages possible in some cases.
The Fall may refer to:
The Fall are an English post-punk band, formed in 1976 in Prestwich, Greater Manchester. With an ever-changing line up, the Fall essentially consists of founder and only constant member, Mark E. Smith, who has quipped, "If it's me and your granny on bongos, then it's The Fall".
First associated with the late 1970s punk movement, the band's music has evolved through numerous stylistic changes, often concurrently with changes in the group's line-up. Nonetheless, the Fall's music is typically characterised by repetition and an abrasive guitar-driven sound, and is always underpinned by Smith's typically cryptic lyrics, described by Steve Huey as "abstract poetry filled with complicated wordplay, bone-dry wit, cutting social observations, and general misanthropy."
The Fall have been called "the most prolific band of the British post-punk movement." They have released thirty-one studio albums as of 2015, and more than three times that number when live albums and compilations (often released against Smith's wishes) are taken into account. While the Fall have never achieved widespread success beyond minor hit singles in the late 1980s, they have maintained a strong cult following. They were long associated with BBC disc jockey John Peel, who championed them from early on in their career. Peel described the Fall as his favourite band, famously explaining, "they are always different; they are always the same."
The Fall is the lead single by American singer/songwriter Brendan James from his self-titled sophomore studio album Brendan James.
"The Fall", which James wrote about having to let someone go with the knowledge that the freedom of letting them go is the most grounding feeling of all.
The video for "The Fall" was starred by American actress and model Melissa Ordway (17 Again, The Last Song) along with Greek's Amber Stevens and Miss South Carolina Jamie Hill, and was directed by Melissa's boyfriend, American actor Justin Baldoni. The music video was premiered on August 9 on multi-websites.
The song has received positive reviews from most music critics.
"His latest single, "The Fall" from his recently released self-titled album, is a nice song to ease into the new season (since it is all about postponing love until the fall). So give it a whirl, we’re pretty sure you’ll be humming it the rest of the afternoon." —Fabulis
"The beautiful piano-driven song is all about finding solace in letting someone go and the video for “The Fall” is a literal visual representation of Mr. James’ poignant lyrics with flashes of the singer in performance mode at the piano." —The Round Table Online
"“The Fall” shows off James’ ability to craft touching, relatable lyrics that complement his strong vocals and piano playing. Try not to cry watching the video. Really." —Bloginity.
"The Fray-ish lead single "The Fall", we're just scratching the radiant surface of an album that delivers in full on every promise made." —Direct Current Music
"...understands the heartfelt connection between adult emotions and indelible melodies. We get plenty of that here" —Dallas News
"His brutally honest kiss off "The Fall" and "Different Kind of Love" are especially good fits." —Philadelphia Daily News
"James plays toward his strengths with heartfelt ballads like "The Fall". —WCF Courier

High tension line, step down
Jeanette Fletcher is strange but not in a horrible way
And Michelle Spencer is this tight
Come and hear her today
And see 40-year olds in multicoloured shirts
It never used to concern me
But now it's making me say
High tension line, step down
Buying houses and doing them up far far away
Got at my shoulder CDTI and behind me TDK
You have to go far for the simple and unadorned
And please excuse my words, wandering
High tension line, step down
At my feet CDTI breakdown
And I pick up the phone, no-one
And am far too far fast for sampling
Just spend my time avoiding
High tension line, step down
Life is nothing more than a disposable
Facial tissue in a brass bin and spawn
Take it out, I notice face imprint
And please excuse my words, I'm wandering
High tension line, step down
