Description : This might be spitrual, not nessicarilly religous. Sunday morning my wife and I packed up the car before church so we could go straight to the lake afterwards. As we entered church early we herd the choir practiceing "Let it rain" A simple song, yet a favorite of mine. During service all the songs were about rain. I got to thinking how I've always wanted to do a song about rain. Think CCR and everyone else. So I planed to sit at the lake and work on it. Well it looked like rain so we didn't go. Monday night at jail it was lightly raining as we went in.After I did praise and worship I play softy in the back ground and came up with this. It was a bad storm out side and I'm thinking about my lyrics. Softly falling rain my but. As we left the other 2 guys had umbrellas that the wind destroyed and we all got soaking wet.
I would compare this to Jim Croche or John Denver.
I usually don't say what I think about my songs, but I really like it.

I really loved this track, big fan of your voice. Just with the help of guitar and vocals you have you have expressed all the emotions so nicely. Yes I agree that's the true art. Thanks a lot sir for uploading such a great track.
loooov the depressiv kinda mood you created from beginning with the luvly guitar chords... maybe make that voice a bit louder so I can hear it better besides that easy goin man I'm sure you know how to get a girl hoooked with only your voice and a guitar =D badboy!
My wife has to listen to me play songs over and over again till I basically have it memorized and can play it without thinking. I think that sometimes she just doesn't realize what a genius I am. LOL. Thanks for listening.

beautiful song Blair..I agree with Bill on this one. that recording quality makes it.. pure, real, live and alive .. non commercial straight from the heart and no b.s. gonna have to fav this one mik
But this struck a chord for one reason or another. Reading others comments and thinking about things, it just kind of makes me think back to when I was younger, and how it didn't seem so damn complicated. Need some of that rain to come around and get a good soul cleansing, know what I mean?
Damn, now I just want to go ride my bike and run around in the woods or build a fort or something.
I'm really glad it caused emoition. I write songs. Play the guitar and sing so that they get done. Just started this recording stuff. I write from my heart and my own experiances. And hope that people relate. Reviews like this mean the world to me. Thanks.
People always run for shelter when it rains. As long as there is no lightning, I walk a little slower than normal and just enjoy the feel of the rain on my skin. There is nothing like coming home soaked and cold from the rain, taking a hot shower to warm up, and then snuggle under the covers with a good book. That to me is absolute and total relaxation.
thanks a lot. Sometimes it works. Look down 2 reviews from this. AcidParadox. He did a cover of this song with my permission. You should check it out. Violin and everything. I just write and pick at a guitar. And sing when I have too.
Taken back to a moment in the summer of '90, I think. I just remember that it was back when I lived in Va Beach and on one particular day it started raining and instead of seeking shelter inside my friends and I stayed and played out in it. I'd say that it was probably in the mid 80s that day and the rain was nice and cold. About the same as the water in an indoor swimming pool. I tell you, once we were all completely drenched it was one of the most refreshing sensations a person could feel with their cloths on. Ok, that was a bad joke ending, but it did feel really great. And I remember that once the rain stopped it kinda made me sad. As if our good little time was over with the passing of the storm clouds. Thanks for the flashback!
It's cool how a song can make you feel great. I don't know why but this song made me say, i am happy with my life,this got to my heart too.Man i know i sound weird but i feel really happy hearing this song
I'm smiling reading your review. I like this song a lot. It can be looked at from a religous aspect with obvious meanings. Or even looked at from an aspect of just letting the crap we heap on ourselves go. A new beginning, a fresh start. I believe we are the ones that judge ourselves the worst. Rain is a symbol of the holy spirit, but it's also a symbol of the rains washing being us letting our own judgement of ourselves go. My opinion of myself was worse than anyone elses. And I'm happy with my life now. I wasn't for a long time. But then the lyrics can mean something completely different to you. Thank you so much for your review. It mean a lot to me. It's my favorite review.

Hi Blair,
Getting around catch up on some listening to tracks here today.
I like this song you did here. I liked the words and could hear them clearly and sounds heartfelt. I think a little less reverb would bring the guitar and voice to the front more in the mix.
You have a good voice too!
Thanks for listening. Thanks for the vote of confidance on my voice. I'm just learning this software and mixing. eventually everything except "Out in the Storm" will be redone.
I agree with Bill...an untouched,one take recording can have it's pitfalls...but the benefits far outweigh any quality control issues.
A truly delightful piece,sung with sincerity and meaning...believe me when I say I know all about rain and how it effects us spiritually,emotionally and physically.....great work!...cheers planet
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
