      Don't you have that exactly right? They could've slipped into rock music reality at any point in the last forty years and been absolutely standout.
      I've been at this game of rock and roll listening since the end of Beatlemania and these guys touch a deep emotional chord in me every time. And at this late date? I cannot really or properly convey how much WOD music means to me but I'm very thankful for the experience.

    As the listener we know the song is ‘Occasional Rain’ so we are expecting that throughout the song but The way he delivers each verse and setting up a rhyme pay off but not saying the title until the very last verse is genius. It makes the entire song feel like the hook. Incredible.

    Into the mouth of control
    Take me down where the river strays
    Where it flows outside the lines
    Where it's picked apart and thrown away
    Now I'm finally feeling free
    I'm living down by an old par three
    You know I'll be playing
    Come around, don't take it hard
    Don't let 'em stone you when the comedown starts
    You've been moving much too fast
    You never know just where it ends
    What would I find living this life without you?
    I got swept up in a world so strange
    One you'd never even recognize
    Oh, but I slipped away
    Now I'm a stranger and I don't know why
    It's killin' me, but your words
    They brought me out onto steady ground
    When I was wounded and ashamed
    And now that my heart is empty
    Where should I go?
    You've always been a constant
    My northern star, where do I go
    Yeah, without you?
    Feel the storm coming on
    Feel the darkness at your gate
    Live the loneliness of life
    Keep on moving at your pace
    Ain't the sky just shades of gray
    Until you seen it from the other side?
    Oh, if loving you is the same
    It's only some occasional rain
