Just Like Aerosmith – Don’t Miss A Thing.

Digital Vacation Day 4

SORRY TO RAIN ON THE BEACH PARTY

*Behind the scenes video coming soon*

Okay, I feel like some of this content just got much darker. Part of me is like “geez, Chandler, throw something cheery in now!” But that’s just how life is sometimes.

I started this song as something quiet and somber, then I brought it to the band and Jordan turned it into an amazing guitar driven power ballad. I literally might have teared up like a little baby for a few minutes when I heard the master we got back from our producer the second Jordan’s solo hit.

Okay, so here’s where this song got almost a bit too real for me. I sat on it for a long time. Like you do with all new songs that mean something to you, am I right?

One day Jordan and I were getting a practice in. We were running this song with all the exciting guitar action that Jordan added. It was actually in the middle of a tornado. The lights started to flicker – we kept going, then in the middle of Jordan’s super epic guitar solo – BOOM the lights were gone and the power to the whole house went out.

I like to think it was his solo. I stepped outside. I didn’t even know about the tornado – but apparently the roof was ripped off an apartment building about a mile away at that moment.

 

Silent Rain started as a quiet, mellow, sad piano tune. It's about making hard decisions, letting go of past hurt and making the best decisions regardless of how you feel in the moment. The message is pretty much just: "Yes, life sucks sometimes and there isn't a fun decision, so just do your best and keep going."

LYRICS

I can’t take one more step towards hopelessness
And I won’t change for you
I can’t make you fall for this, merciless
I’m too weak to watch you cry

Silent rain 
grabs the car door 
window pain 
pull me open

Birds sing an empty chorus
Words form a hopeless romance
I don’t feel things that I don’t notice
Arms out and windows open

Hopeless moment, open 
Looking out empty windows
Filling me with hopeless moments 
Open with the light of whispers

Silent rain 
grabs the car door 
window pain 
pull me open

Birds sing an empty chorus
Words form a hopeless romance
I don’t feel things that I don’t notice
Arms out and windows open

Birds sing an empty chorus
Words form a hopeless romance
I don’t feel things that I don’t notice
Arms out and windows open

Scared as hell I brace myself
With open eyes and a closed off conscience
Fill the quiet silence violence
Hitting walls and kissing closets
I’m afraid to touch what’s closest

Birds sing an empty chorus
Words form a hopeless romance
I don’t feel things that I don’t notice
Arms out and windows open

Birds sing an empty chorus
Words form a hopeless romance
I don’t feel things that I don’t notice
Arms out and windows open
