I Don’t Curse the Rain is about embracing adversity as a catalyst for personal growth and transformation. It uses the metaphor of rain and storms to represent life’s challenges—pain, setbacks, and chaos—and portrays them not as curses to be feared, but as forces that shape and strengthen the self. The narrator reflects on enduring hardship ("scars," "shattered plans," "weight that tried to drown") and choosing to find meaning in it, planting new beginnings in the wake of turmoil. The recurring line, "I don’t curse the rain — I plant again," emphasizes resilience, defiance, and the refusal to be broken by fate. The song’s blend of rap-metal intensity, bluesy soul, and psychedelic introspection mirrors this journey from struggle to empowerment, culminating in a sense of peace and renewal ("I bloom in its wake").

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
