NEW RELEASE: Gina Timms - Falling In Love (Is The Nicest Kind Of Fall)
Gina Timms releases new single.
Falling In Love (Is The Nicest Kind Of Fall) is the 5th single from Gina Timms’ Album - Thank You.
“I literally penned this song when I was standing on a friends balcony looking over a valley realising how far I had come since the breakdown of my first marriage”.
I had recently fallen in love with a man who I fancied back when I was 15.
“At that time he was 22 and my father would have locked me up if he knew” laughs Gina.
It was just a fantasy way back then.
We met up 25 years later, both divorced and on our own.
It’s the perfect love story and we are now happily married to each other and falling in love with that man certainly has been the nicest kind of fall.
He is my everything, my universe and the absolute love of my life.
Writing this song certainly was great therapy for helping heal my battered and bruised heart as a couple of years before that I made a huge decision to take my boys and I and leave my abusive marriage.
I now feel ok to talk about that dark time in my life but it has taken a long time.
Of course it wasn’t all bad as I was blessed with my two greatest achievements, my two sons who are both the absolute centre of my universe.
This song resonates just what one can achieve if you dig deep and find inner strength, it allows you to pick up the pieces and start again.
Although self preservation plays a huge part and yes I still have a wall up at times, but it is built more out of paper mache these days rather than steel.
Here is proof that Falling In Love Is The Nicest Kind of Fall.

Lance Birrell - The Ballad of Kokoda a new single from Lance
New Zealand’s beloved legacy band The Narcs announce the release of a new single and music video Summerhill Stone. The Narcs released their new single on itunes in early March to coincide with the band’s appearance, on their own home turf at Canterbury’s Selwyn Sounds Festival, before a crowd of 15,000. Summerhill Stone was also included on New Tracks - NZ On Airs’ April Compilation to radio of new releases by New Zealand artists. Now during New Zealand Music month, the song comes alive with the release of a new music video. Summerhill Stone was a brand of coloured concrete brick popular for affordable housing in 1950s and 60s Christchurch - it came in many pastel colours and never needed painting. The Narcs’ new single drives the listener around Bishopdale and the old suburbs of western Christchurch. It’s where you grew up, the conformity you rebelled against, what you moved away from, and it’s still there. Over the band’s 38 year career, The Narcs have attracted new fans with their fusion of South Island and Sydney-drenched rock’n’roll. From playing their first gig in Christchurch in 1980, the band has had a slew of radio and video hits including “Heart and Soul”, “Lazy Susan”, ‘Diamonds on China’ and ‘Abandoned By Love’. The Narcs’ recording legacy includes three studio albums: ‘The Great Divide’ (1984), also a name that the band was marketed in Australia, whilst there they recorded the self titled album ‘The Narcs’ (1986) at the famed music farm studio in Mullumbimby under legendary producer Tim Kramer and finally “Push The Boat Out” (1996), and a compilation “Best of The Narcs” (2002). Summerhill Stone now sets the band to return, with more recorded works, and to enjoy the current resurgence and popularity of legacy bands of the 80s’. The Narcs will once again perform live to the audiences that loved them and grew up with their sounds.

Col Gentles’ latest single ‘The Last of the Knucklemen’ tells the story of the last days of Jimmy Sharman’s boxing tent and it’s fighters. The song was written by Col after listening to a story on late night AM radio on his way home from a gig.
Col reminisces... “It brought back memories of going to Sharman’s tents with my Dad and brother and watching the spruiker out the front banging the drum and yelling out "a round or two for a pound or two".”
