With so much rain around I asked my computer to find songs that had rain in the title and it threw up loads of songs including this and I don't know how I got it, never heard it before, didn't know anything about the singer. First time hearing this blows me away, these are the kind of songs that make me shiver. Patty Griffin is an American singer/songwriter born 1964 in Old Town, Maine. She sings americana, folk and country and her songs have been covered by a lot of other artists. So how has she passed me by! So this song is beautiful and I could imagine Jewel singing it, please whoever chooses to spend four minutes of their life engaging with this, let me know what you think of it, thanks.
"Rain" is the opening song on her 2002 album 1,000 Kisses.
It's hard to listen to a hard hard heart Beating close to mine Pounding up against the stone and steel Walls that I won't climb Sometimes a hurt is so deep deep deep You think that you're gonna drown Sometimes all I can do is weep weep weep With all this rain falling down
Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain
Its hard to know when to give up the fight Some things you want will just never be right Its never rained like it has tonight before Now I don't wanna beg you baby For something maybe you could never give I'm not looking for the rest of your life I just want another chance to live
Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain
Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm holding on underneath this shroud Rain
Strange how hard it rains now Rows and rows of big dark clouds When I'm still alive underneath this shroud Rain Rain Rain
Oh. Cool, thanks - at least one reply, I was just about to delete the post.
That's actually important because if it's the kind of singer/songwriter ballad you wouldn't normally listen to you and enjoyed it kind of means that it can appeal to most people or that it's not immediately rejected.
I liked it AF, but listening to the track on my IPad isn't the best it could be. So I connected it up to my Bose Soundlink Mini speaker and it sounded a great deal better. Thanks for sharing, great lyrics btw.
