Rain Dance

Rain Dance
Confusion
I don’t know why, but today, your eyes fail to see me.
All alone in a darkened room where walls aren’t safe for leaning
Cries come again and its back to the pain, God it all feels the same the same.
Same Blue Review, (Same) beggars face (Same) nothingness that fills this place
Fire’s hot and my hands are scorched
Wings are melted but I still want more
Get away with your morals and empty advice
I’ll just dance until lightning strikes
Come and dance, come and dance with me
Soak your feet in my pity
Neon Crosses and lobby groups
Doctrinal lies like “Peace bound Troops”
Let it Rain Let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Let it Rain, let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Let it Rain Let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Let it Rain, let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
(now) I Run, for getting tired.
I lie lie lie when I am right.
Desperately assured
Just a follower propelled by fright
Concrete voices seem so surreal
Disco rangers sound like steel
I close my door I close my mind
Because today’s been too unkind
Let it Rain Let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Let it Rain, let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Let it Rain Let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Let it Rain, let it Rain Let it Rain, Rain on Me.
Bridge
Rain Rain go away, come again some other day
Rain Rain go away, come again some other day
Rain Rain go away, come again some other day
Rain Rain go away, come again some other day
Rain on me Let it rain on me Let it rain on me Let it rain down on me.

About Rain Dance
History and Recording
– History
Rain Dance was written (and sung) by Kevin Brady for Modern Logic, and appeared on the 1989 album Rain Dance on Green Truck Records. I wrote the chorus then, and later re-arranged the song for solo performance, making it more “guitar centric” and then played the new rendition with Cowgomoo, Neon Kings, and ultimately with the BiG! duo, and then on “small.”
– Recording
Recorded originally live acoustic for the “album that never happened” with me and JR set up in the main room of Studio 607. The “album that never happened” does exist, but was put on infinite hold to make way for the much louder, raucous electric “small” recording by the full band.
All of the “small” sessions featured the one room paradigm, playing live in real time (with a click to ensure that we don’t “travel” too much. We naturally play around the beat so that the sound never gets too locked in. After a few passes, we had the basics done (drums and bass.) The guitar had to be scrapped on all of the “small” sessions’ initial run through.
Guitar day was super fun, using the phenomenal selection of amplifiers supplied by Studio 607, set up in the main room, and my PRS. It was truly a wall of guitar, with the bridge feedback the favourite part
Mac got additional passes for his solo during the bridge but nailed it without much fuss.
All vocals were also done in the main room, with JR doubling me to emphasize the choruses and certain phrases throughout, and Mac chiming in on the choruses, and especially in the coda with three distinct parts going on.
