Brave Saint Saturn (stylized as braveSaintSaturn, brave saint saturn or BS2) is a Christian rock band formed in Denver, Colorado in 1999. The band is a side-project of former members of Five Iron Frenzy started by Reese Roper. The band calls their music style "astro-rock", although Roper has stated that this "doesn't mean anything". The trilogy of albums are meant to artfully represent early life, adversity, and death.
Before the band was signed, they were called Astronaut. As a result, "Astronaut Versions" of several early Brave Saint Saturn songs exist. The "Astronaut Version" of "Two-Twenty-Nine" is available on the compilation Manna 2 Go (fifty280 records). An otherwise unreleased Astronaut song, "Albatross," is also available on Green Manna (fifty280 records)
Brave Saint Saturn often uses the vastness of space as a metaphor for loneliness and isolation. With this in mind, the band used NASA recordings and electronic samples on their first two albums. One of the biggest influences on the band's sound was the Electric Light Orchestra album Time. Roper has said that because of this band he has tried to include more strings and orchestral sounds into the group's music.
"I Fell (So You Could Catch Me)" is the seventh solo single of Shara Nelson. Single was released as a second single from her second solo album Friendly Fire in 1996 on Cooltempo Records as a two CD set.
Did you see me falling down from Heaven?
Breaking every bone I have
So I tried to touch the sun
I had another fall you can do the math
I was wrong is what they'll say
I watched their smiles fade away
I watched their black and white turn gray
Their picture perfect worlds decay today
Today I fell to earth again, again
I guess I failed You, I guess I cannot win
Today, today
I fell away, I fell away
Did you see me falling down from Heaven?
Trailing wings of melted wax
Accelerate, at nine point eight
Accept the fact I'm going to crash
And so called friends have gone away
And all advice will cease to stay today
Today on fragile wings I tried to touch the sun
'Cause wax and feathers melted
All my dreams have come undone today
You lift my battered soul
You mend my broken wings together
You lift my battered soul
You mend my broken bones together
You lift my battered soul
You mend my broken bones together
You lift my battered soul
You mend my broken bones together
Yeah, today, today
I fell away, I fell away
Today, today
