Dry The Rain

this song is called dry the rain by the beta band. there’s a scene in the movie high fidelity that this song is played, and the reaction by the people hearing it is right on with how i feel when i hear it. at first it’s just kinda there, in the background. then you realize that your nodding your head back and forth, but you’re not sure why. then you start to hear the melody, your head still nodding, now with a relaxed feeling running through your body. i always imagine myself at the beach when i hear this song…just sitting there, feet in the sand, sun on my skin, with the crash of the waves in the background melodically running through my ears. sitting there, with a relaxed feeling running through my body, and my head nodding back and forth…



it came to my attention while searching for the lyrics to this song, that there are multiple intrepertations of the lyrics... there is one repetative line in the song that i always thought was "i will be alright". well, it turns out that there are several times that the lead singer might instead sing "i will be your light". the actual wording makes no difference to me. in most instances, i do usually try to listen to what is being sung, but that's not the case this time. like i said, this song puts me in a different place. i honestly think the words could be sung in russian and it would make no difference... there's something about the music composition itself that gets me, much like a radiohead song. enjoy the russian!

This is the definition of my life
Lying in bed in the sunlight
Choking on the vitamin tablet
The doctor gave in the hope of saving me
In the hope of saving me

Walked in the corner of the room
A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain the rain
The rain the rain the rain now

Dusty brown boots in the corner
By the ironing board
Spray on dust is the greatest thing
Sure is the greatest thing
Since the last since the last

Walked in the corner of the room
A junk yard fool with eyes of gloom
I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain the rain
The rain the rain the rain now

I asked him time again
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
Take me in and dry the rain
The rain the rain the rain now

Say it out loud it'll be okay
I will be alright
