Written during the first week of the pandemic lockdown Bird has finally got to make the version of this song she always meant to, while she kept the original vocal recorded with a cheap Rhode desk mic in a rented room in Italy, she went to Nashville and Texas earlier this year to record the rest..

Marking nearly one year since the first Dellwood release, “Rain Lost Its Water” feels like both a return and a progression — echoing the intimate melancholy of debut single See Your Face while introducing new sonic textures that reflect the project’s evolution.

This cinematic folk song was born from two evocative lyrical seeds: 
“Half the bulbs are burnt out on my old porch” — cozy and nostalgic. And the title phrase — “The rain lost its water” — poetic and heartbroken.

“This one started with two images — the porch with burnt-out bulbs, which felt nostalgic and cozy,” explains Chris Bartels, “and then ‘the rain lost its water,’ which came out of nowhere and carried this heavy, melancholic weight. I became obsessed with marrying those two moods: the heaviness of loss, but also the warmth of memory.”

The track weaves these emotional threads into a story of love lost, rooted in memory and season. It’s deeply autumnal — not just in imagery, but in tone. A gentle unraveling. A reflection. A letting go.

The vocal production is thick and immersive: layered harmonies, octaves, and subtly processed vocoder moments build a sonic bed that mirrors the emotional weight of the lyrics. For the first time in the Dellwood discography, slide guitar appears, making a haunting and heartfelt impact.

“Rain Lost Its Water” is a clear example of what Dellwood has come to represent — a space for both craft and intuition. A balance between intensely working the material and also stepping aside to let the song emerge.

For fans of Hazlett, Novo Amor, Bon Iver, Noah Kahan, S. Carey, Iron & Wine

LYRICS

Half the bulbs are burnt out
On my old porch 
And the candle fragrance left me
Only wanting you more

The fall weather, sudden
Has me thinking me about
The night we stayed up laughing
And crying on the floor

I swear autumn lost its color
And the sun turned to gray
The rain lost its water
When you went away
And darling, I’m sorry if I let it slip
I’m sorry if I let it fade
The rain lost its water
When you went away

Took a trip to the mountains
Left behind our maps
Was hoping the high ground
Would help us find our breath 
But I saw your ticket’s one way
And I face our silhouette
Now the wild takes me
Back to the day we met

I swear autumn lost its color
And the sun turned to gray
The rain lost its water
When you went away
And darling, I’m sorry if I let it slip
I’m sorry if I let it fade
The rain lost its water
When you went away

I swear autumn lost its color
And the sun turned to gray
The rain lost its water
When you went away
And darling, I’m sorry if I let it slip
I’m sorry if I let it fade
The rain lost its water
When you went away

Rain Lost Its Water

Already Taken is about trying to process living without somebody after they’ve chosen to leave you, and the everyday reminders they leave behind. Written with friends Sam Perry and Tom Hammond, and released via Mahogany Songs. 

Already Taken

People Change (Chris Zane Mix of Old Version)

لا أنسي عاما قد مضي يفيض بالحب
واللطف والعناية والعطف من ربي

قرار
ولا أنسي أنني كنت بين يديه وقد حملني
كما يحمل الأب ابنه علي صدره الحنان

 لا أنسي يوما مد لي ربي يد النجاة
ولا كيف قلبي حله يسوع من علاه

 لا أنسي حب فادي رغم كل العناد
وكم تمهل حينما ضعف علي ساد

 لا أنسي كيد أعدائي ولا بغضة الأشرار
وكيف قد أنقذني يسوع ربي البار

 لا أنسي حصنا صار لي بربنا الحبيب
وكم شرور قهرت بالدم والصليب


لا انسي انني كنت بين يديه و قد حملني- لا انسي عاماً قد مضي

”Lite längre fram”

Morgonen luktar regn och metall
bussarna sjunger i takt med stegen
jag har inget mål som bränner just nu
men det räcker att gå

Det sitter folk på caféerna
med händer runt sina första ord
jag hör fragment av liv jag inte levt
och känner mig märkligt hel

Allt måste inte lösas
allt måste inte bli kvar

Jag lämnar det som skaver
utan att slå igen dörrn
det finns något som väntar
lite längre fram
jag bär inte på svaren
men jag bär mig själv
och det är mer än nog
just idag

Skyltfönstren speglar nån som liknar mig
men inte riktigt stannar
det är som om staden andas ut
och låter mig följa med

Kanske är det så här det känns
när man inte flyr
utan rör sig vidare
i lagom takt

Jag lämnar det som skaver
utan att göra det stort
det finns plats för det enkla
för det som blev
jag vet inte vart vägen går
men den går
och det räcker för mig
just nu

Ljuset faller mellan husen
inget dramatiskt händer
jag går vidare
och det är tillräckligt

fall (live)
