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.
