About Don't Bring Me Down

"Don't Bring Me Down" is a 2003 song by Australian singer Sia Furler. It was released in Australia in November 2003 (and in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2004) as the first single from her third studio album Colour the Small One (2004). The track was written by Sia and Blair MacKichan who had recently worked with Will Young's on his Brit Award winning song, "Your Game". The track received little promotion and did not chart. In the video The making of Colour the Small One, Sia explains: "I hadn't done drugs for a period of time before writing that song. It was about having a really horrible comedown off ecstasy, and the concept of being abandoned before you get to sleep - being the last one high when everyone else has gone to bed." The track is included on the soundtrack for the film 36th Precinct and a number of compilations including, "Songbirds", Chillout Sessions, Vol. 6 as well as Sia's 2007 live album, Lady Croissant.

Faint light of dawn
I'm listening to you breathing in and breathing out
Needing nothing
You're honey dipped
You are beautiful, floating clouds, soft world
I can't feel my lips

I'm going down, I don't want to change
I'm going down, going down the drain

[Chorus]
Don't bring me down, I beg you
Don't bring me down, I won't let you
Don't bring me down

Then all of that's annulled and I'm anyone's everyone's
We are one
Your face becomes the sun
And I'm addicted to the joy that the little things
Those little things
The little things they bring

I'm going down, I don't want to change
I'm going down, going down the drain

[Chorus]

So now for restless mind, I could go either way

Oh but, I'm going down, I don't wanna change
I'm going down, going down the drain

Don't bring me down, I beg you
Don't bring me down, I won't let you
Don't bring me down, I beg you
Don't bring me down, don't let me
Don't bring me down,
Don't bring me down, I won't let you
Don't bring me down,

There's nothing left to choose
Oh I fight a word, I am right here
Stay the night, protect me
