Hear and watch in Youtube HQ!

This is a song I wrote last weekend called " Itza Rainin' ".
If you know me you may be fully aware that I am a complete precipitaniac^1 (someone whose loves rain) so it seemed only natural to write a song about it.
It really bums me out when I hear people say things like, "Ugh~! It's raining" or "Oh great. It's gonna rain again" because rain really is a lovely thing we get to enjoy every once in a while so I always am very thankful whenever it does here in Cali.
Rain for me is more that just water falling from the sky. It is the weather whispering, "Change is coming. Change is coming. Better get ready, change is coming" through a calming cascade of water droplets on the roof (tin rooves are ideal) and against the windows (ones without screens are best). I derive great joy and inspiration from the prospect of change and development so, when it does rains I am reminded that the rain and by personal extension, the future should get you up, not get you down^2.

In fewer words, I just love rain so I wrote a song about it.

Footnotes:
^1 If you don't know this word, don't worry. I made it up.
^ 2 This really makes the idiom "under the weather" puzzle me, by its words I would have to guess that being under the weather would be a good thing, and who isn't under the weather? No one on Earth, but anyway... someone should make sense of the thing and not me seeing as I posses quite a bias for rain.


Lyrics

Intro
When it rains things change (1x)
When it rains things change
Learn to love it (3x)

As I walk through this place/I wonder why
Teardrops fall down from the sky
Thunder
The weather's great/And I'm happy
Why don't people look and see
That while it's wet
The rain is good
Oh I just wish they would
See the way they could

Chorus
It is raining/But I don't care
I love the smell/And the ocean air
You make me smile/Please stay for a while

The thunder rolls
Thunder
As if to say/"Yes the sky is grey today"
But because the storm's not as bad as it seems
You keep your head high/Yeah, you know what that means

Chorus
It is raining/But I don't care
I love the smell/And the ocean air
You make me smile/Please stay for a while

Just because the sun's absent
Doesn't mean you shouldn't smile
Hapiness should not vacate
Just because the rays retreat for a while

Chorus 2
It is raining/But I don't care
Lightning catches/your eyes' blank stare
Your number I'll dial/Let's stroll for a while

You only need an umbrella
A hand/ A smile/ to keep your-
Frets at bay

Aftermath
Storm
