“Stuck in My Head” is an indie-rock song with a catchy guitar riff, those self-same fabulous lyrics and Ferrari’s addictive voice. The next song, “Heard From You”, is a moving-on song, but this time rather than a lost lover, it’s a lost father song. Based on Ferrari’s best-friend, who was abandoned by his father at the tender age of 10, Ferrari says “[“Heard From You”] captures what I interpret my best friend Mike would say to his father right now… I really became the representative for my Mike and said everything that he has always wanted to say to his father. That is something that really means a lot to me.”

More notable tracks include “Blanket”, a pure-pop ballad with the fabulous lyric “My body used to be your blanket, I kept you warm at night”, it is the only track on the album notCD cover at least co-written by Ferrari. “Naked” is another indie rock/power-pop song with soul-baring lyrics and perfect vocals. “Turning into Someone Else” is an acoustic feel rock ballad, slower and more raw than anything else on the album. In Don’t Let it Fall Ferrari and producer John Lardieri have created an album that is like having an intimate talk with an old friend. Warm, friendly but deeply intimate, things only a close friend would tell you and even then, some of secrets will make you blush from the intimacy of the confidence or steamy honest content.

Don’t Let it Fall is a must have for anyone who loves pop music or intelligent, well written lyrics. You can listen to a few track for yourself at Dan’s MySpace space, or you can purchase Don’t Let it Fall from CDBaby or iTunes.

How does this thing work againI'm a writer and music journalist originally from Salt Lake City, but now living in Scotland. I was a Punk/Goth in the '80s and these artistic influences have stayed with me; although a love of Chopin, chamber music, and Spanish guitar would seem to belie this. I am one of many assistant music editors at Blogcritics.org, staff writer for a gay men's magazine based in Edinburgh, and a freelance writer.
