“Falling Down” is such a beautiful song and the fact that both Lil Peep and XXXTentacion tragically died before it was released makes it kind of melancholic. In case you don’t know, Lil Peep died of an accidental overdose in November, 2017 while XXXTentacion was shot dead during a robbery, last June. They were only 21 and 20 years old. And it’s so sad.
The two musicians didn’t record this song together, they never worked together while they were alive. The song was originally titled “Sunlight on Your Skin” and it was an unfinished song, result of a collaboration between Lil Peep and singer and rapper iLoveMakkonen. XXXTentacion recorded his verses as a tribute to Lil Peep.
I love rain and I love songs that talk about rain, or mention it. So, “come let’s watch the rain as it’s falling down” sounds so sweet, to me.
