about

This week we’ve got another in a string of simple, quiet little songs. It’s partly out of necessity, given how little time I’ve got for music these days, but secretly I revel in the opportunity to pen these little ones. Also, many people tell me that their favorite songs on this site are the understated ones, the ones I sometimes considered after thoughts, so who knows what I gems I might get my hands on as a result of going back to school, and neglecting this website (for lack of a better word).

The idea here is simple, as there isn’t so much space for a large one. Our stresses and aversions are of our own devising, and when we decide they don’t bother us, they stop being stresses and aversions. That’s all.

Here’s hoping your Monday doesn’t totally suck.
~M.E.

lyrics

Screaming at the top of your lungs
It got you nowhere but you did it alright
Yeah
And you can look at it however you want
You’ll never make it under cover in time
No, but...

It’s just a little rain
It’s just a little rain, yeah
You get a little wet, so what?

I used to feel it clouding over at night
I used to put myself together with glue
Yeah
You know I must have been a serious sight
I’d have to worry what the weather would do
But now...

It’s just a little rain
A little bit of rain, yeah
You get a little wet, so what?

Never have you melted away
Never ever have you fallen apart, no
Never never have you drowned in the rain
And can you think of any reason to start?
No
