Raindrops Lyrics
I can feel the raindrops falling down
And all the time I’m falling to the ground
We’ll take flight through my window
Starlight is ours
By the light of the moon I hold onto stars
I can feel the raindrops falling down
(What you feel is a light emotion)
And all the time I’m falling to the ground
I’ll pour wine on these mountains
Comb through these clouds
On the other side of the world
Is my backyard
Garden of Eden spirited
Did it need to be protected?
I can feel the raindrops falling down
And all the time yr calling to come down
In this silvery night light, stretch out yr arms
By the light of the moon I hold onto stars
On the other side of the world
Is my backyard
Garden of Eden spirited
Did it need to be protected?
And when will we fly free
We’re still trying to become
In frustration we came back
To the sea and to the land

I was put onto The Besnard Lakes so many years ago (Thanks Zan Rowe on JJJ back when the station was good (I'm too old for it now)) I think when _Devastation_ was 'the new release' and to be honest, I have not found a band that comes close since. I go through every emotion from elation through peace to sadness regardless of whichever album I put on. My brain is wired and my heart is broken by every chord, riff, word and harmony. Thank you guys. This is one of the best and like another commenter, one listen is never enough.

I just discovered this band and it is disturbing that a band of this caliber gets 8000 plays a month on spotify. They are really good.

[@F1Fanatic76]

Every time I listen to this on Spotify, I let it repeat at least 3-4 times because once is never enough.
