Story behind the song
‘Catch if you fall’ is about a helping hand outstretched to overcome mental and physical difficulties together.

It’s easy to turn a blind eye and to pretend everything is fine. Easy and cowardly. There are people who need us, our words, our support. It would be so great if everyone in this world at least once in a lifetime would have strength and ability to help someone.
