Still (old)

Recorded at home in June 2011 as guide tracks for a full band project that never really materialized. I've chosen to retain the original mix, monsoon and birdsong and all. It's Togtog Time!

"July Rain" first appeared on UP Music Circle's Homegrown compilation series.

VERSE: F#m7 - C#m7 - Bm7
CHORUS: C#m7 - DM7
C#m7 - CM7 - Bm7

VERSE 1
Grey canals overflowing onto the streets
knee-deep, but no one sees their own feet.
Holding up umbrellas, but nowhere to go;
turning back, cars have nowhere else to go
like the sewer water, plastic cups
and cigarette butts floating over the sidewalks.
 
CHORUS 1
July rain splash-splashing on concrete.
(July rain, July rain.)
How are we supposed to make it back home?
(July rain, July rain.)

VERSE 2
The back seat is warm and dry but I
know we're gonna get so wet.
Two silhouettes and shadows of raindrops
are sliding across each other.
The radio's turned up really loud
but save for the rain,
there's hardly a sound.

CHORUS 2
July rain tap-tap-tapping on the roof.
(July rain, July rain.)
How are we supposed to make it back home?
(July rain, July rain.)

July rain splash-splashing on concrete.
(July rain, July rain.)
How are we supposed to make it back home?
(July rain, July rain.)

BRIDGE
All that is washed away
is on the streets, a sea of gray,
and it keeps on rising,
keeps on rising.

CHORUS 3
July rain splash-splashing on concrete.
(July rain, July rain.)
How are we supposed to make it back home?
(July rain, July rain.)
July rain tap-tap-tapping on the roof,
(July rain, July rain.)
How are we supposed to make it back home?
(July rain, July rain.)

How are we supposed to make it back home,
do we even wanna make it back home?

Still (old)
