"Falling Asleep" is extremely calming because of it's minimalism and the steady progression.

Although the reason why the track possesses such a strong allure is primarily because of the somewhat dreamy vocals and the potent song writing. The phrase "Falling Asleep" on here has various conatations, albeit the track primarily deals with the theme of death. I believe it's the touch of reverb latched on to McNamara's voice and the soothing guitar passages all around which provide that sense of dreaminess - thus putting emphasis on "Falling Asleep".
