You're Good Enough

"Dare to Rain" is a journey through a memory neither too distant nor too bitter, 
one that will never reach a destination, at least not in this universe. 
The journey of a train whose carriages chase you, occasionally peeking out to greet you, 
like a phantom limb or a thorn buried deep in your gut, piercing you and poisoning your blood little by little.

A field, long dried out, crossed by a floating pulse that coils into a spiral, 
like a scratched vinyl stubbornly returning to the same groove, an echo refusing to fade. 
And just when it seems like everything is about to start again, it is drowned out by a heartbeat on the verge of collapse, embracing a guitar that drowns in its own weeping, seeking solace.

You'll understand it once you hear it.
