Kiss - Tears Are Falling



Paul Stanley wrote this song about his previous girlfriend and how she cheated on him, stopped loving him.


"Tears are falling" song is about a woman who is about to admit to her boyfriend that she has found someone else and she doesn't love him anymore, and then, "oh no, tears are falling".


The track was written and sung by vocalist/guitarist Paul Stanley. It is one of Kiss' few songs since the 1970s to have been solely created by him. It would also be Stanley's last individual composition until "Loving You Without You Now" on his 2006 solo album Live to Win.


A video to promote the single was filmed in London in September 1985, and was directed by David Mallet. It was one of three videos produced in promotion of the 'Asylum' album, along with 'Uh! All Night' and 'Who Wants to Be Lonely'. Despite the low production values of the 'Tears Are Falling' video, it was heavily played on MTV's Dial MTV phone video-request show for several months, until a new ruling stated that the requested videos had to be only a few weeks old to qualify.
