Composed for and broadcast on the A Mutual Respect February Music Month Challenge
Context: Yep, second time this month I broke my promise not to do covers, but if the first time ("Vespers") was well worth it, this time...well let's just say I have reasons which will become evident on March 18th (cue mysterious Mark laugh).
On the music: I started with a concept: since I'm without access to (or competency at) percussion, why not use *rain* to provide the rhythm for a song? I've always had a thing for rain. I layered it in, after recording the synthesizer and vocals, and that concept led to the other 'atmospheric' FX. Perhaps the effect comes across as heavy-handed, given the lyrics, but hey, take it up with John Lennon if you got a problem.
