Lee MacDougall Answers Questions About His Song 'Falling in Love for the last time'

This is just an excerpt of Twilightish's EXCLUSIVE interview with Lee MacDougall - the voice  behind ' Falling in Love for The Last Time'

How did the song come about both lyrically and musically??
Well it's a song inspired by a true story of a guy obsessed with a girl. She knows he's obsessed with her, but rather than put him out of his misery, she leads him on for kicks. He kinda knows he's being played, but he just can't help himself because being with her feels so good. He knows in his soul that she is the girl for him, and he wants her so bad it makes him sick..

Who wrote 'Falling In Love for the Last Time'?
Me!

Who is laughing in the end of "falling in love for the last time" itunes Version?

That's my friend Rob. He's doing the backing vocals too..

What is your reaction to people that believe that Robert Pattinson composed/wrote the song ''Falling in love for the last time"?

It's a great romantic story, and I'm all for great romantic stories. I've heard people are saying that to some of their fans, it has become a sort of Rob and Kristen theme tune. I love that! They are two incredibly talented people who to their fans seem to symbolize a sort of modern day Romeo and  Juliet or something. Fans want to believe in their heroes. I know because I've been there. I can kinda see how it started, I was hanging out with Rob a lot at the time and I did write my song "How To Be" for him. Though to be honest I don't really mind what people say as long as they're enjoying my music and judging by the amazing response it's had so far that seems to be the case.

ETA: My twittah pal @Alexandra1116 who frequents the London music scene says "Jsyk, the guy who was doing the backing vocals at Lee's gig last week is also called Rob, so he may not be referring to RP in that sentence."

Here's the song again used by Fiorels90 in her super popular RobSten video.

confused here,some time ago on another site he was answering the same question and he was rather vague about who wrote it.well if he did indeed write it,it sure as hell resembles the situation Rob might have found himself into when he met Kristen.but then again who knows what really happened.one think for sure is that he got a lot of publicity because of this song.

I never thought Rob actually wrote it simply b/c it doesn't sound like his music style at all.

What I do believe, and seeing this interview, is that it is about Rob's feelings for Kristen at the time it was written.

I can totally see Rob talking to Lee about it one night and Lee deciding to write a song about it. The fact that Lee says it is about a true story and Rob did the background vocals.

That is certainly plausible.

Best part about this whole thing?
Lee is getting some wonderful recognition and Rob got his girl!

That's all that matters in the end.

@Anon 10:11 - Exactly right. Doesn't matter who wrote the song. I love it anyways. Love listening to it. Rob got his girl! Lee got recognition. Win all the way around IMHO. :)

I read somewhere that Lee Macdougal dated Rob's sister Lizzie for 3 years. So I think he would know Rob pretty well...

@lala I'm good. I enjoy reading all your posts. I had 2 venti lattes (while checking doctors' reports, yes I have a career in medical admin lol) and I def reached my caffeine limit for today. I'm actually kinda hyper but will surely crash later. lol

SW said...

Well, we would all have loved to hear that it was Rob who wrote it of course. But I have to agree with the rest of u gals...I believe that the song is inspiered by Rob and Kristen's love story. And the video is beautiful, the song fits them so beautifully.

But most importantly, it's a great song and I can listen to it again and again, so who cares who wrote it! :)

moonriver said...

hey, girls (and a few boyz). long time no c. im at work, pretty busy. popped in for a small dose of robsten happy :)

this guy is being very evasive about the song, so id say no, coz ihe was very open about admiting he wrote the other song for him.
but charlotte is right. it's christened the robsten song, so what can tom, dick and lee macdougall do about it?
on the contrary i c lee is profiting nicely

moonriver said...

p.s. hey our lovey dovey reunited couple could b listening 2 this song, like right now, for all we now, from the privacy of their hotel room, or trailer or whatever. i'll not comment the papz, but i would like a confirmation that theyr having a nice time. my imagination has suffer a major drought.

Maka said...

cutiestar said...

Okay, what is with all the inconsistencies coming from Lee with this song. I remember when this song was first introduced to us via youtube in I think April he specifically said that yeah Rob wrote the song. Now that the song has gone global, he is changing his tune. Interesting. Well anyway, I still love this song and I am starting to believe that we will never get the real answer behind this song. And I'm okay with that. That leaves a little mystery in our lives to let us believe what we want too.

Maka said...

Anahita!!! I don't have any that kind of experience, but don't worry and don't be scared, my dear! Always remember that we are with you. I will be right here waiting for you. I'll miss you. Wish good luck and love you, too:)
With love, Maka

LOL :) :) Anyways, we'll miss you and I'll be wishing a quick recovery for you!!!! Good Luck! Sending you lots hugs!!!

Liz said...

He didn't answer my question! I sent him a question asking when did Rob sell or give him the song and when he wrote it. He just replyed "me!". I'm kind of mad!

you guys, robert pattinson does NOT do that back vocals. rob, yes, there are more than one rob in the world, plays guitar and sings backup.
&like i said the last time lee macdougall was brought up, i've been listening to him for a long time now. he has indeed helped lizzie pattinson with her music.
i do see how you all see it as a "robsten" song. and yeah, it works. but this wasn't about them.
but it's a great song no matter what, eh?!

lala said...

hey anon 3.55 calm down ok its not about them,but come on a you have to admit that the lyrics are a bit of a coincidence,green eyes,girl that is not mine.
good its better that it is not about them because i felt sorry for the guy ,its not nice being tortured by girl like that.
peace siter or brother.lol

Anonymous said...

Sorry, but to me that song isn't exactly a compliment to the girl. She was playing games with him? Is this how the "mystery" girl acted? I wouldn't be proud of that.

2 things...

1. I've never seen anything, anywhere where Lee says Rob wrote the song...

2. How is Lee being evasive? This interview is the only place I have ever seen anyone ask a direct question about who wrote the song... and he bluntly replies "Me!"... that sounds pretty straightforward to me!
