about

So here's Rain again. I went full Kanye on this song and deleted it so I could re release the re release I released last week and release it this week.. This time I've gone back and it's now finally done done.

A little about this song..
I wrote and recorded this coming up to 10 years ago now when I'd lost everything I owned and moved into tiny room in a shared house. I had my basic belongings a bed and a desk and that was it.. It was tough but also freeing and time I could shake it all off and start again even if I did have a cloud hanging over my head most of the time. I hate many of the songs I wrote during that time but this one had a positive message and I just loved what I said and the way I said it which is why I haven't re-recorded the vocals. I know they're scrappy but I knew I'd never be able to capture that feeling again so they're as they were at that time just with some proper production.

My life is a world away from what It was and the cloud hanging over me has long gone.. Yours will to all you gotta remember is keep getting out there whatever the weather and if it rains just dance to the pitta patta..

Peace
Mark L

oh and yes it is me singing as well :)

lyrics

Rain go away and come back another day
pitta patta pitta patta
Rain go away and come back another day
pitta patta pitta patta
Rain go away and come back another day

pitta patta pitta patta its all day long
the windows hold out but it wont be long
leaks pouring in coming from the outside
down the cracked walls bare floors can't hide
gaps in floorboards slowly becoming canals
water in electrics losing tv channels
lights flicking on and off a party not invited to
there was a card in the post but it was addressed to you
Head out the window now i can still see its pouring
look to the sky the rains so refreshing
there's only so much you can do in 4 walls
yet explore the world with finger crawls
dance across a keyboard you could go anywhere
yet never taste the world you where never been there
haunting others lives like you haunt your own
there's a roof over your head but this isn't home
a bed to the side so you can rest your head
when sound a sleep live the life you wish you led
dreams of a reality thats with in your grasp
the weathers about to break but you know it won't last
its time to seize the day and to make it your own
put on your tired boots and start to roam
your coats 10 years old, does it matter NO
The whole world outside and it's waiting for you to show
that beautiful face and stunning smile
its arms reaching through that window
make its effort a worth while
grab with both hands and let it pull you through
just a small amount of effort for a new you
no more excuses waiting for better weather
you planned and planned you just ain't that clever
life took its own path and the past just don't matter
now get out and dance to the pitta patta

Rain go away and come back another day
pitta patta pitta patta
Rain go away and come back another day
pitta patta pitta patta
Rain go away and come back another day
