Music video
The
music video for "F-F-F-Falling" was shot in
Helsinki,
Finland the same year. The video shows different clips of the band in a studio and a girl who doesn't like to go to school. This relates to the lyrics "I don't go to school every Monday. I've got my reason to sleep. Don't you tell me how I should be".
It shows also the members of The Rasmus dressed in a beach-like clothes, and singer
Lauri Ylönen using skater pads, playing the song in an apartment that looks like a recording studio. The girl met her friend (also a girl) at a train station, making her very happy. The girls spend time togehter, listening to music in a shop (that appears to be the song that The Rasmus plays in the apartment) and playing on a bus. Later they become more crazy and change clothes in the same place, go to the toilet in the street, dance everywhere, and kiss in a car, to the point that they kiss in the bed of the first girl, leading to them sleeping together. In the morning, the girl thinks about what she has done and looks like she regrets her actions. The members of the band, in some parts, look pained about what happens to the girls.
Band's Comments
Eero:"This song has been selected to become the first single, because it's something special. People think 'What's that? That doesn't sound like The Rasmus!' when they hear the song."
Lauri:"The first sentence, about not going to school on Monday. That's true, because Monday was the day to practice our new songs."
