[04] When The Rain Stops (3:36)

Allen Eu I-Luen Singapore

Greetings, my name is Allen and I’m an amateur songwriter from Singapore. ‘When The Rain Stops’ was infact triggered off by two lines in Chris de Burgh’s ‘The Snows Of New York’ that left a very deep impression on me, “And when there was just one set of prints in the sand, that was when you carried me.” I want to be that person to carry my loved ones. As a songwriter, I have always admired how Chris is able to conjure up wonderfully vivid imageries that speak volumes with his words. Combine that with his very expressive voice and memorable tunes, like many others I’m sure, I’m always touched by the sincerity in his music. I am not a singer by a long shot, but still I hope that someday my songs will be able to heal and encourage its’ listeners, just like Chris de Burgh’s. Hope you enjoy ‘When The Rain Stops’.

It shouldn't bring you down so much As there'll always be sunshine after the night's rain Chorus When the lucid rain stops Will you still remember? "It isn't your wrong" I whispered I'll always be a kite to accompany your sky So don't carry the world in your little heart Even on a cloudless day, there might just be a rainbow somewhere There will always be....
