'Rain' (Song Fu VI Rd 1)

from The Song Contest Years by Denise Hudson

/

  • Streaming + Download

    This song was the beginning of my Song Fu VI journey where I revealed a bunch of stuff about myself. I was already in Full-Fu Mode because I was on a roll from 'Mistakes Were Made' so I had a lot of thinking to do. This is about a 'you-know-who' but mostly about me. It's one hot shoe.

    I didn't end up buying them. As you can see from the un-matching socks, they are just something you try on from time to time :)

about

This was Song Fu VI Round One. We were to write a song that is about or uses Rain as the central narrative. Also has to utilize something that represents rain.

This is another fun file with the classic "'Leave the Stone Alone_Yep' Denise fade-out" :) Apologies? Perhaps ....

lyrics

It's pouring outside / I've got it bad as the weather
It's all damp inside my mind / I don't have it together

But some people like to live like this
Cuz the rain makes the waterfalls into rainbows around
And I laugh and make appropriate sounds
Cuz you can't hear what I've been dreaming about …

I hold tight against myself / like a human umbrella
Yes sir … the shoe fits, but I ain't no … Cinderella
I'm just filling up holes in the street with the pools overflowing
I'm late to the dance
And my roots are showing

There's water everywhere
Are you gonna drink it?
Or will you just let it trickle down politely
when we could just throw down in the rain
-like we mean it?

The clouds move secretly, faster - I'm poised for disaster
wondering illegal things
I'm thinking about all the shining
realities

And the rain makes a pretty parade
I see you, shove up my glasses / double-check the subtleties I made
and they're much too subtle … I'm afraid

You know it's not quite like all that
But I could drink you down right now
I guess this is kinda hard for you to understand
..I guess the weatherman could declare me legally mad

There's water everywhere
Are we gonna drink it?
Gulp it down like we mean it ...
I don't believe you don't see this clearly!
We're steaming- and we could throw down like we mean it
in the rain

You can look for the root of my crimes / in my past life
Put on galoshes, wade through my present time
Trip right to the flip-side then slip down to your never-mind

This is not about you
It's about what I go through
when you and all you&me too's
come through my
my stormy
parade …
