Cloud Burst *Instrumental

by A Rainy Day & The Poetree

/

  • Streaming + Download

    Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

    Here are the Cloud Burst tracks sans vocals... These versions are a deeper reflection on humanities brilliant, perhaps quieter past. I hope you enjoy the instrumental versions and that they inspire both listeners and students of recording to sit down, reflect on nature and ourselves, learn and create our own productions! I also wanted to mention the artwork on each of the singles as well as the instrumental album. I designed each piece with a desire to call back to the worlds beautiful black & white, sometimes sepia, past. The pieces include many public domain artists including; Van Gough and Da Vinci. These designs on T-Shirts and a ton of other merchandise will steadily be made more and more available on our website:

Parade *Instrumental 05:19
lyrics

Dark breeze - Mysteries - Unfold above oh kin to me My waiting soul can’t wait to see You Flash free, loose the sea of tears that long to baptize me And there You share Your ancient history So let the thunder come undone just like a kid with a big bass drum They cannot stop the rain on my parade Can’t stop the rain on my parade - Let the thunder come undone Rain, rain don’t go away - It’s time to dance for everyone But I have said enough - And I have done too much I hope I spent it on someone Yet it’s all right and it’s okay - I am awake - It is still day And the parade is marching on The vintage stage where I marched through an age While the doves and wolves all watched and raged Now dog eared - Left upon a page And now I stand in the cup of a hand And I don’t even miss dry land It’s beautiful right here within Your storm So let the thunder come undone just like a kid with a big bass drum They cannot stop the rain on my parade Can’t stop the rain on my parade - Let the thunder come undone Rain, rain don’t go away - Let’s see you flicker in the sun Bring the rain on my parade - Let it fall and let it come Rain, rain don’t go away - It’s time to dance for everyone Oh the rain on my parade - Let the thunder come undone Rain, rain, don’t go away - stay for just another day - Aaaah Rain, rain don’t go away - Let’s see you flicker in the sun Rain, rain don’t go away - You’re the one we want to stay - Aaaah Bring the rain on my parade - Let it fall and let it come Rain, rain don’t go away - Stay for just another day Rain, rain don’t go away - It’s time to dance for everyone credits

Kiss The World *Instrumental 04:17
lyrics

I know a girl who takes her lips and kisses every face she sees ---- no questions asked It’s such a trip- I wanna skip myself and learn to be that free ---- and that’s a fact I’d like to take the little bag that’s filled with good things I have done And climb that ladder to the stars to pour them out on everyone And hope sombody there will take them My arms are reaching for you - I wanna touch your face And draw you to this star burst - I call the warm embrace But you are always moving in your electric swirls I’m gonna sing into the void until I get to kiss the world I know a boy who takes his lips and says whatever’s in his head ---- such a cool place Within this sound that he has found I’d like to catch the things I’ve said ---- give them some grace It’s time to take the little bag that’s filled with good things I have done And wish myself upon a cloud to pour them out on everyone And hope somebody there will hear them My arms are aching for you - I wanna know your face And draw you to this star burst - I call the better place But you are always leaving me in my electric storms I’m gonna scream into the void until I get to keep you warm My arms are reaching for you - I wanna touch your face And draw you to this star burst - I call the human race But still you’re always moving in your electric swirls I’m gonna sing into the void until I get to kiss the world

Walls & Corners *Instrumental 04:43

Bring your hands and wash your eyes Say a fond farewell and kiss goodbye Come jump the fence - We’re climbing to the sun We speak our words but I for one Have had enough of words undone So down the drawbridge - For the truth we ride Before this holiday’s over and Monday morning comes to take us from our gardens by the sea Before we change into stardust Before one body sparkles off into another happily Let us take our arrows up and go off hunting in these woods For all the things that we can’t see with our own eyes Let us take our flowers up and carry on for love and good Reflecting light just like the moon into the skies... into the skies In this world of walls and corners Watching all the silent mourners There’s a tender hand to save the scene Just a touch - A hopeful shiver - Mercy please - Reveal - Deliver Pour down from the sky and make us clean For now my eyes have had enough of feeling so dirty Or wishing they had a place to hide Or blaming the dark on a spark they’ve yet to try A blessed spark inside a perfect eye A graceful breed that will not die Buried in the soot of a hundred million lies So let us take our arrows up and go off hunting in these woods For all the things that we can’t see with our own eyes Let us take our flowers up and carry on for love and good Reflecting light just like the moon into the skies... into the skies

All The Flowers *Instrumental 05:36
lyrics

On the day that she was born somebody brought a flower pot Golden daisies soft and warm amongst some pink and white And the room that afternoon smelled like the dirt upon her shirt When she was five out digging in the garden at twilight ...like other little girls have done in the beginning of their lives Can you imagine all the flowers that we’ve found along the road They’ve grown and withered in our eyes But they will be there in the end so we can take them as we go They are our colorful reprise And how we’ll love to share them with the skies On the day that they were wed - White roses blessed with babies breath Petals tossed before her steps - Remembrance trailed behind Years and years unwound like gears - A ticking clock - A little shock All was left of all that breath - A solitary sigh ...and all the little girls and boys found in the middle of her life The rain fall calls the flowers with its ultra sonic sounds And the seeds they give are scattered out and broken Then their sacrificial colors make a banquet for the ground But the sewer knows the words they left unspoken For every mother - For every wife Grand ones and daughters - All bearing bits of light The hands that rocked us - And for their sons This perfect circle without which we’ll come undone Twilight comes and she moves on - The flowers marching to this song They stand up tall and soldier on and join her on her way But her fingerprints are on the mess and they will never go away And as she turns she finds the flowers that were hers upon the road She holds them tightly as they fly... They are there with her in the end so she can breathe them as she goes They are her colorful surprise... Can you imagine all the flowers that we’ve found along the road They’ve grown and withered in our eyes But they will be there in the end so we can take them when we go They are our colorful reprise And how we’ll love to share them with the skies

Whatever The Weather *Instrumental 04:02

Here is the breath of fresh air I must take in the flash of the flood of black ink raining down upon the tattered page of my life where I fight to ignite an unholy mess of mud that’s been judged where it sits upon the open stage So take a look and cast your votes - Try not to be too shocked by the storm in my head Just drop your coin in the secret slot Then I’ll open up my mouth and the spark that keeps me from joining the dead will make itself well known in my words and thoughts How I love the thoughts that follow the sky They beat the bloody hell out of the awful night I can no longer carry your bags up the stairs For I’m too busy bathing in my stars And whatever the weather be it wild or fair I’ll be welcomed with bright & open arms All the storms I have witnessed and the sun I have shared Make a great silent movie from afar I can swim in the shadows that it casts through the glare What a glorious ride here... through the dark But I’m fine and I’m fair - See the light in my hair Like a comet high - there I flicker by With my pen in my hand - and my head for a band Everything has flown - for the great unknown And we’re all just fine... floating upon this road You can no longer carry my bags up the stairs For we’re too busy bathing in our stars And whatever the weather be it wild or fair We’ll be welcomed with brilliant open arms All the contrasts and hollows that were hardest to bare Made a great silent movie after all Now I float in the shadows that the past dares to share What a glorious ride here... through the dark Here is the breath of fresh air I must take in the flash of the flood

Ghosts In The Garden *Instrumental 05:52
lyrics
buy track
Velvet leaves and violet flashes Blazing blue windows ignite me from so long ago Where sunlight bleeds the ground to ashes There are warm, faded scents of sweet cherry and wood in the smoke It opens itself to my hands and my needs and it eats up the seeds that were born from the worst of the weeds it has ever known It devours them down as I cover the ground with a prayer I’m shown The sun comes out and when I turn around everything is growing and it gets more loud everywhere just like a trumpet sounds - and as I grab a cloud it throws me up and down and up into the air... ta da da da da da... air... ta da da da da da And then birds come out and meet me in the sky - and as their colors shine they show me how to fly - And below we see the garden rise and as I float above I start to realize... That the seeds have all been metamorphosized An afternoon of deep, dark shadows The water that flooded the yard all vermilion and mean It bit the bridge and chewed and swallowed And I still find the fragments of wood in the dirt when I dream It opens itself to my hands and my needs and it eats up the seeds that were born from the worst of the weeds it has ever known It devours them down as I cover the ground with a prayer I’m shown... The hands that get dirty are the hands that are warm Thank God for the dirt where it all gets turned around There I keep an eye on the eye of the still and the storm I buried my ghosts in the garden and I waited for the ground to give birth to my blossoms and my crown as He takes all things and He turns them all around

Stop, turn away - Don’t take another look at me I’m not a little miss shiny new year - Never was and never will be I’ve been such a mess - You probably would never believe When digging up the yard of the past - the things that human beings retrieve Don’t look at me - for the answers I’m just a fool - in need of something Don’t look at me - for the answers I’m just like you - in search of something That I won’t find until it’s found - like a beautiful sound If not for a rainy day well could we really know the sun Let’ go outside anyway and greet whatever weather may come Here in the mess where all our pretty colors will run We’ll put them there with our hands and wake them up with the sun Don’t look at me - for the answers I’m just a fool - in need of something Don’t look at me - for the answers I’m just like you - but I know one thing... If not for the sun that graces the dirt here this seed would never leave the ground For that moment of reaching up to the atmosphere where needed rain is pouring down - It’s such a beautiful sound So don’t look at me - for the answers I’m just a fool - in need of something Don’t look at me - for the answers - I’m just like you Stop, turn away, don’t you take another look at me - Don’t look at me I’m not a little miss shiny new year - Never was and never will be

Water In The Well *Instrumental 04:33

Here it is again,,, this question upon the wind - The moment of wondering why I am Why am I made to breathe? Why do I dream and feel and see? What is this seed that’s growing within my hand? Won’t the gardener call and help me to understand? As I tramp through this mud almost touching the hand of whatever is love I will drink from the water in the well I will shine through my skin though I’m under the dirt of the places I’ve been I’ll draw ink from the bottom of the well If you chance to see me riding high upon the back of something beautiful and free Know that the rain did wash me after all was said & done and I am happy in the tree So you be happy standing on that ground for me - But for now... I won’t crawl if I fall - I won’t be shattered like a wave against a wall I won’t see a tragedy staring back from the water in the well I have learned not to turn back into the thing I used to be I move on in that song that was sung all over me - All over me Come and meet a man who dared to take me by the hand He told me of my life and all I’ve lived He asked me for a drink - In turn He taught me how to think So I could tell you about the water that He gives The kind that really makes you wanna live As I tramp through this mud almost touching the hand of whatever is love I will drink from the water in the well I will shine through my skin though I’m under the dirt of the places I’ve been Still I’ll drink from the water in the well I’ll draw ink from the bottom of this well I will sing from the water in the well - I will shine from the bottom of the well I will know that tomorrow will be well - As I drink from the water in the well

Let It Fly *Instrumental 05:27

A little bit of day has broken through the darkness of a cloud A little bit of grey has moved aside to let some light shine down Look around - I’m seeing for the first time Within the sight something bright’s getting ready to fly ... free as a bird within that sky At last I see the beautiful in you Let’s go from black and white into our technicolored hues I stand - I’m walking for the first time Within the steps something right’s getting ready to try ... and I can’t even tell you why I will march into the night - Where there is darkness - I have the light I can see beyond the dark - Valley of Shadow - I am the spark The stars can now surround me - We need no words Let’s say goodbye to gravity and all we’ve learned Bring it on - Bring it on... As only You can Turn it on - Turn it on... Let the light fall from Your hand. Lord - ... It’s all for You Bring it on - Bring it on... Turn us around. We’re going higher, higher, higher Shine it down - Bless the ground... THE revolution’s coming down A little bit of life has found its way into the day and light It’s putting up a fight and it won’t stay within the walls of night Let it grow - We’re breathing for the first time Within the breath there’s a song getting ready to fly ... it is a note that will not die I will march on - I will march on - I have the light I will march into the night - Where there is darkness - I have the light I can see right through the dark - Valley of Shadow - I am the spark Oh my God - You made the way so we could fly Here we go into the night - They brought the darkness - We are the light And some day we’re gonna be just like the butterflies We can see beyond the dark - Valley of Shadow - We are the spark And just like the sun has ended the darkness - So we shall also rise Hey Hey Yeah - We are the light - Hey Hey Yeah - Let It Fly Beyond this battle of dust and shadow - It’s almost time to touch the sky Nah Nah Nah Yeah - Let it fly - They brought the darkness - We are the light But until that hour comes - We’ll be walking with the sun ... into the crushing of the night

Like Birds In The Rain *Instrumental 04:21
lyrics

What is this sinister thing? - A puppet pin in a wing? Longing to fly but much as one tries You’re just a kite - in a storm - on a string Begging the world to cut deep - Edit together the heap Sew on a smile ignoring the piles Of the souls that are lining the streets Through the looking glass we go - The images glisten Soldiers crying from the snow - Turn off the wind On every stage the same dark show - One can not NOT listen And as the wicked wish unfolds the true storm begins And we’re like birds in the rain holding our peace and our pain Drowned in the deluge of words spoken backwards Here we wait for the flying again Someday will come the blazing son - And we’ll be kissed and warm And from there on we’ll sing the songs that follow after storms Electrically transformed Did you know that birds after rain sing over and over again? They float in the brilliance of words written skyward From the One that is coming again But for now we’re birds in the rain holding our past and our pain Defying the deluge of love going backwards While the clock drives us mad with refrains What is this sinister thing? Why the love for the darkness it brings? Will we drown in the deluge of words spoken backwards While we wait to be flying again and again and again and again... What is this sinister thing? A puppet pin in a wing? We’re just like birds in the rain - Here we wait for the flying again credits

about

Some of the songs on this album are many years old and some were written specifically for the project. I was far from home and my best friend became my piano and the joy of discovering that the sounds of the world, my childhood and the present freedom I was experiencing were all at my fingertips. So many sounds were layered into the production that I can't remember them all but I've tried to touch on them here. One of my biggest wishes in releasing this is to show other songwriters that they can sit with a piano- and with a little help from some software- bring whatever is in their heads to life. Please enjoy this, find A Rainy Day on social media so we can chat about our recording experiences and you can tell me what you think about life, my work and your seasons. May the cloud burst!
With Cheers! - rainy day
