I don't mind the rain
Anthony Thaxton (c)2018
https://soundclick.com/r/s86d1k

The big double bed feels so empty
I'm still learning to sleep alone
I always seen you in my future
never dreamed of being here on my own

I hear the slow rumble of thunder
As a new day soon to begin
Weatherman says that's it's cloudy
there's a storm that's moving in

I don't mind the rain let it pour me
let it wash away the pain
of each precious memory
The sun cant bring you back
Blue skies cant hide the pain I feel inside
So I don't mind the rain
No no N0

I still walk down these same city sidewalks
Where we stood and said our goodbye
As I look out to my horizon
i see blue days and red skies

I don't mind the rain let it pour me
let it wash away the pain
of each precious memory
The sun cant bring you back
Blue skies cant hide the pain I feel inside
So I don't mind the rain
No No No

The sky's are gonna open up and the
and the rain is gonna come
so all I can do is pray for the calm
after the storm

I don't mind the rain let it pour me
let it wash away the pain
of each precious memory
The sun cant bring you back
Blue skies cant hide the pain I feel inside
So I don't mind the rain
No no N0

Excellent rain Anthony. Really enjoyed the melody and enjoyed your vocal, as well. I also thought the lyric was excellent. Some of the guitars sounded a bit out of tune to my ears though, which in my mind detracted from this excellent song. It had a very Americana feel, maybe a bit of Gram Parsons.

A nice write, Anthony. The melody is especially nice. (the guitar is a bit louder than it needs to be).

A catchy chorus.

Anthony,

Yeah, the mix needs a small bit of work—maybe a bit too much reverb and volume on the vocal, and bit more balance between the vocal and guitar. But don’t put too much stock in my opinions on production—not my strong suit.

BUT, all that aside, this is a great tune!! Love the opening two lines; the lyrics are strong throughout. And a great hook on “I don’t mind the rain” and just a nice feel on the melody and sound from start to finish. Really, Anthony, for me, that’s two pretty killer songs in a row from you (still have “That Song” in my head from time to time). You are on a roll, man! Keep it going!

All the best,

Deej

Anthony,

I love the chorus on this. When I read the title and the first verse I was wondering how you were going to work the hook. You did it very well. It's a great metaphor

I enjoyed listening!

All the best,
Noel

I like the TITLE "I don't mind the rain" & the hook...In the cult MOVIE "The Crow", the main character has a line describing storms & rain & says: "it can't rain all the time"....That line has stuck with me since the early 1990's...To this day I quote that line when life gets dark for me or others. That is how powerful a phrase it is...It would make a great LYRIC

Personally I wouldn't do a Double VERSE to start the tune...With a proper 1st 4 lines, you would get to that CHORUS immediately.

The BRIDGE could use a little tightening up...Maybe you can weave that line from "The Crow" in there...It fits your theme of not minding the rain..It would tie your tune up really well if you can oull it off...

Just a thought

Catchy HOOK...

Gave this a listen Anthony, and like some others the tittle brought me here, great hook.
I won`t say much other than really like the song, the writing. the bridge to me needs that bit of work you intend to do.
again really a good song and I enjoyed the listen. Lane

Very good idea for a breakup song. Very pretty melody. Good use of minor chords, really brings out the sadness.

The music has the right amount of repetitiveness -- not too much, but enough.

Maybe needs a little more perfecting of the performance, but it's really good already.
