Lighthearted acoustic look at the weather and how it affects our moods, based on the afternoon thundershowers in the tropics...

The joedai warriors features original introspective folk-rock songs by Joe Peters and the phenomenal musicianship of Michael Kelsey, 2004 Winner of Guitar Cente
The joedai warriors is a musical collaboration between me (singer-songwriter Joe Peters) and musician extraordinaire Michael Kelsey, 2004 winner of Guitar Center's National "Guitarmageddon" Competition for best unsigned guitarist in America. We first collaborated on 1998's "Given Birth," an independent CD release that features 13 of my songs that describe a variety of inner and outer experiences of life in the US and abroad. We have recently gone back into the studio to work on a follow-up album, "Rebirth," which was just released on December 11, 2004. While I play acoustic guitar and sing, Michael also sings backup and plays acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, bass, keyboards, mandolin, and percussion (to name but a few).

Story behind the song
Living in Bogor, Indonesia, in 1996 this is exactly how the days would unfold, day after day; so the song essentially wrote itself.
Lyrics
The Rain & I The mornings are sunny & bright, here in the town where I’m living Time to enjoy the clear blue light, the crystal gift Nature’s giving It’s toasty warm and oh so dry, I lay back and sip my coffee Sit & ponder the question why, hear the birds singing in the tree This peaceful scene it does not last, the clouds appear & then real soon The change it comes & it comes fast, around four in the afternoon The wind picks up & the heat she drops, the sky quickly starts to turn dark All of a sudden it all stops, then out of nowhere there’s a spark *CHORUS Lightning crashes, & thunder roars, a hole appears up in the sky My nerves tingle, & my heart soars, all I see is the rain & I, the rain & I It’s like this each & every day (the rain & I) Like the gods of past times at play (the rain and I) The drama unfolds in this way (the rain & I) Is there anything left to say (the rain & I) *CHORUS (twice)
