Feel The Rain
Embracing Love Amidst the Rain: Mitch Jean's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
I wish I would’ve known you
I regret not knowing you earlier
Oh my father before my time
Referring to the speaker's father who passed away before the speaker's birth
Where were your wisdom stories
Expressing a desire to hear the father's wisdom stories
I could’ve used them and make ‘em mine
Wishing to have learned from the father's experiences and make them his own
Had of known you’d leave so early
Expressing surprise and regret at the father's early departure
I would’ve called to say it’s me
Expressing a desire to have called the father when he was alive
Oh how I wish you could’ve stayed here
Expressing a longing for the father to have stayed longer
But now you’re gone and I hope you can feel me
Expressing hope that the departed father can feel the speaker's emotions
Clouds are rollin’ on this way…..I need to say….
Anticipating an emotional moment with the mention of clouds and a need to express
Not a day goes by I don’t think of you
Continued reflection on the father's absence, indicating daily thoughts
Are you listening to from up above
Wondering if the father can hear the speaker's thoughts from the afterlife
The words I sing help me ease the pain
Expressing that singing serves as a coping mechanism for the pain of loss
I like to feel the rain so I can feel your love
Using the metaphor of feeling the rain to experience the father's love
I like to feel the rain so I can feel your love
Reiteration of the desire to feel the rain as a connection to the father's love
Nowadays I miss to see you
Expressing the speaker's longing to see the father and the reflection of the father's smile
My mirror reflects your smile
Connecting the father's presence to the speaker's reflection
Oh I have so much to say to you
Expressing an unspoken desire to communicate with the departed father
I like to think you’d stay awhile
Hoping that the father would have stayed longer for conversation
And so I learned that it ain’t so easy
Reflecting on the realization that love is not easily understood
But now I know your love is deep in my heart now
Acknowledging the enduring nature of the father's love in the speaker's heart
Oh I thank you for being there for me
Expressing gratitude for the father's presence in difficult times
Just wanna say you’ll always be with me somehow
Affirming the belief that the father will always be a part of the speaker's life
Clouds are rollin’ on this way…..I need to say….
Repetition of the impending emotional moment with clouds and the need to express
Not a day goes by I don’t think of you
Reiteration of the speaker's daily thoughts about the departed father
Are you listening to from up above
Repeating the question of whether the father can hear the speaker
The words I sing help me ease the pain
Reinforcing the therapeutic nature of singing in coping with grief
I like to feel the rain so I can feel your love
Reaffirming the symbolic connection between rain and the father's love
I like to feel the rain so I can feel your love
Reiteration of the desire to feel the rain as a conduit to the father's love
I like to feel the rain…..
Continuing the expression of the speaker's longing through rain symbolism
All I need is to hear you say
Expressing a need for assurance and support from the departed father
Just say that your behind me and that your satisfied
Seeking affirmation of the father's satisfaction and presence in the speaker's life
Oh father help me find my way
Requesting guidance and support from the father in navigating life's challenges
Cause some days I just can’t see when it’s grey outside
Describing the difficulty in finding clarity on challenging days
Not a day goes by I don’t think of you
Reiteration of the speaker's daily thoughts and longing for the departed father
Are you listening to from up above
Repeating the question of whether the father can hear the speaker's thoughts
The words I sing help me ease the pain
Reaffirming the therapeutic nature of singing as a means to cope with loss
I like to feel the rain so I can feel your love
Reiterating the symbolic connection between rain and the father's love
I like to feel the rain so I can feel your love
Reiteration of the desire to feel the rain as a conduit to the father's love
I like to feel the rain…..
Concluding the song with a persistent longing to feel the rain and connect with the father's love
