A dynamic acoustic folk rocker with a celtic feel in the chorus. A soulful song about the uplifting power of music in tough times! "The sun is shining here beneath the clouds/Behind my wall of sound"

This song has been a staple of my live solo performances since 1992. It's my earliest song that I still consider a viable part of my repertoire.
The summer of '92 was a terribly rainy summer (like this one) but my passion for the music took the sting out of all the cancelled beach trips, and the outdoor concerts where I got soaked. Eleven years later, I still feel the same way about the power of music. Enjoy!

So now it's raining on a Saturday
You only wanted to go out and play
You watch your hopes dissolving in the rain
How will you heal the pain?
Lie in the warm glow of your TV set
The show is boring but it helps you forget
That in some way you're really missing out
Today you'll do without?

See that guitar that's lying on your bed
You strum some chords, the rhythms clear your head
The music flows like water from the spring
And as you stroke the strings
You raise your head and sing
You raise your voice and sing...

Chorus:
The wind and rain are blowing all around
But they won't reach me through my wall of sound
The sun is shining here beneath the clouds
Behind my wall of sound

And if the sun should reappear someday
My song won't be in vain
The melody will still be mine to play
Thank heaven for the rain...

(Instrumental)

Chorus:
The wind and rain are blowing all around
But they won't reach me through my wall of sound
The sun is shining here beneath the clouds
Behind my wall of sound

And if the sun should reappear someday
My song won't be in vain
The melody will still be mine to play
Thank heaven for the rain

So now it's raining on a Saturday...
