 Darn, this is as good as it gets. No more adjustments. This is it.
 And will be. Period. Phew.



                Tears like rain         (4:34)

                   by Eterman in 28.8.2000

                  (an instrumental waltz version)


         Lame drums? Please consentrate on listening to the
 overall sound. I didn't want to pay attention to the drums, so 
 that you also wouldn't have to. 
        -What? Logic? And that would be?
        
        Ok. At last I decided to release this one, as I just found nothing
 more to do with it. Some day, as I get some decent audio equipment to
 work with, I'll track this one again with lyrics and a 4/4-time
 signature, as the lyrics work better in that kind of arrangement with
 a simple piano accompaniment. (I play and sing it myself.)
         
         The melody, chords, and the mood they create, have particular,
 emotional meaning to myself. And the feeling is in the music, here, not
 in those lyrics I've written. I just can't describe what I feel in these
 tones here. Whatever lyrics I write, the basic mood is always the same.
 It's hopeless fighting it with human communication. 
 
        So, the title (and lyrics, although it's not that reasonable to
 talk about them as the are not represented here) is only a reflection of
 this music. The way it affects is not plain. It's something rather
 mysterious, but still so beautiful and bright. We all understand the
 story. I myself, listening to this music, am stuck in certain themes. 
        It's about the purest feelings people can radiate to each others.
 It's about finding and losing, the beautiness of both joy and growth.
 With growth, I always mean a great, uplifting process, but what is really
 essential in it, are the difficulties it contains. 
        And when it is about to people and their emotions, only grief,
 that will always be there, can support it. Tree dies without growth. It
 has to make new leaves, new fruit, and for that, it needs growth. When
 two souls, in this oddness called "life", grow together, now there is
 something unique, something that surely makes everything worth it.
        
        These are some thoughts, that come to my mind when listening to
 this. And there are of course people with names. People with faces.
 People I know. Not a crowd, but certain souls. Sometimes there are
 many. Sometimes there is only one. This is for you. ,) (wink) 


        Hi to all you ppl, especially you in starchat. You know who you
 are, if you know who I am... or ... well.. sumtin' like that. Space Walk,
 Whiz, CykiQ, and all of you that have given me support and encouragement
 either through pr:s or just plain chat; you guys sure have an
 extraordinary good taste! ;):)

        And yeah: This song is copyright material. You have a right
 to copy it. (And listen to and do all sorts of... other stuff.) I guess
 there usually are some restrictions as well, but I don't recall them
 right now. Oh yeah, don't get rich using this song to any purpose. It's
 prohibited. I might get angry, you know.
