SUNDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO—“The Sky Cries” (live)
...Rain is one of the great equalizers of humanity, meaning that it falls on everyone regardless of your status in life.
“Blood is pounding through your head, nothing makes any sense
You have a dark spot a feeling of dread, tired of waiting on the fence
Makes you feel like you’re the only one who ever felt this pain
Makes it hard to see the sun when all you see is rain
“And the sky cries, the rain falls down on everyone
But it never ever lies, and it doesn’t last forever…
“The rain falls on the just and the unjust
The rain falls on the rich and the poor
The rain falls on the captive and the free
The rain falls on the black and the white
The rain falls down on you and me
…and the sky cries, it cries, it cries…
…but it doesn’t last forever!”
The lyrics for “The Sky Cries” are based on the scripture, “The rain falls on the just and the unjust…” (Matthew 5:45). Musically I was influenced by Fleetwood Mac, Roy Orbison, and Mike Roe (of the 77s).
