    Chorus:
    Sometimes it's soft as a misty rain
    That gently touches my soul
    It cools the fire that burns in me
    And I simply lose control
    So just
    Rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just fall like rain
    Just rain on me
    Just rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just shower me
    Just rain on me

    Anyone here in 2024? I first heard this group in '92; I was visiting VA from NY and decided to stick around (for a few years as it would turn out). I was instantly in love with these girls despite never having laid eyes on them at that time. They became and still remain my favorite girl R&B group from the 90s...this album, every track was fire. I miss those days.

    I think one thing that's lacking in modern R&B is this sense of tenderness, love & sincerity. I can't name a single song thats cone out in the past 5 years(shit, I'll even give it 10 years) that gives me the feeling that this song invokes.

    Lyrics 🤎
    [Verse 1]
    Sometimes it's soft as a misty rain
    That gently touches my soul
    It cools the fire that burns in me
    And I simply lose control
    So just
    [Chorus]
    Rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just fall like rain
    Just rain on me
    Just rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just shower me
    Just rain on me
    [Verse 2]
    Full as a dam at capacity
    My passion's about to explode, yeah
    I can't escape, it's surrounding me
    I'm caught in a storm
    That I don't need no shelter from
    [Chorus]
    Rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just fall like rain
    Just rain on me
    Just rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just shower me
    Just rain on me
    [Bridge]
    Shower me
    Sprinkle me
    Fall down on me
    (Your love just falls on me)
    Fall down, fall down on me
    Let it
    Fall down, fall on me
    Just
    Rain down on me
    Chill me with your loving touch
    Rain on me
    I wanna feel your love is real
    Just
    Rain down on me
    Me
    Rain on me
    Oh baby
    [Chorus]
    Rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just fall like rain
    Just rain on me
    Just rain down (on) on me
    Let your love just shower me
    Just rain on me
    [Outro]
    Sometimes it's soft as a misty rain

    They sampled Jaco Pastorious' bass intro from 'Portrait of Tracy' (also called 'Tracy's Portrait') a song for his wife, completely and exclusively played on the electric bass. Jaco was a revolutionary bass player who changed the role of bass in music but many don't know about him. R.I.P. The use of the sample in this song and a few other songs makes me so happy because that's how you keep forgotten music alive.

    First time I heard this it struck me so hard, and I didn't know why
    I was also new into my study of jazz and realised later that this harmony is from Jaco Pastorius' Portrait of Tracy, one of the most sophisticated pieces ever written.
    I was so lucky to grow up in the 90s when music was so deep below the surface but still hit the way pop should.

    This song captures every emotion of love and loss and vulnerability and intimacy and joy in every word and chord. It’s memories and feels and everything, all of life, and you feel it all captured here. I see myself in the back seat of mom’s Olds 88 listening to 93.1 in Cleveland. I see former selves being happy and being sad. I see my lonely times and times of togetherness. I see lost loves, the beauty of past romances, how much I still love my ex wife and what we shared and how much better to her I wish I was, how much I love my mother and brother, how deep my love is with my fiancé now in all the things we go through together. All of this somehow comes at once, with a tear, and a smile, and a warmth, and a chuckle, and an ahhhh this is life vibe. Not many songs can do all that to us. 🫶🏻

    I like how on the production, the producer blended the sound of a raindrop with the snare kick. That was very clever, as well as creative.
