Hollywood Rain
Nostalgic Echoes: Hollywood Rain's Vibrant Memory Lane
Lyrics
Summer 1985
Reflecting on the summer of 1985
We were young and growing wild
Recalling youthful and carefree days
Though it's gone and out of reach
Acknowledging that the past is unattainable
It still burns bright in a memory
The memories remain vivid and impactful
Neon lightning striking all around
Describing vibrant and intense experiences
Pink and orange and violet-blues
Depicting colorful scenes with neon lights
From the cloud to the ground
Imagery of lightning from clouds to the ground
Like a movie - I remember us frame by frame
Memories recalled like scenes from a movie
And that final scene - in a Hollywood rain
The memorable ending in a Hollywood rain
I wish we'd never (had to) let go, no
Expressing a desire to hold on and not let go
I miss Madonna on the radio
Nostalgia for Madonna's presence on the radio
Gettin' high to MTV
Reminiscing about the influence of MTV
Pure rock and roll - energy
Celebrating the energy of pure rock and roll
Neon lightning striking all around
Repetition of neon lightning imagery
Pink and orange and violet-blues
Continuation of colorful scenes
From the cloud to the ground
Reiteration of lightning imagery
Like a movie I remember us frame by frame
Recalling memories as if from a movie
And that final scene in a Hollywood rain
Final scene in the metaphorical Hollywood rain
THERE'S A MIDWEST STORM ROLLING IN
Introducing a Midwest storm with artistic reference
LIKE A MAXFIELD PARRISH SCENE
Comparing the storm to a Maxfield Parrish painting
SEE THE JOHN HUGHES KIDS AT THE RIVERSIDE
Observing characters reminiscent of John Hughes films
BLUE-JEAN LIP GLOSSED BEAUTIES HOLDING COURT IN A
Describing fashionable individuals at the Riverside
PASTEL COLOR-SCHEME
Highlighting a pastel color scheme
HAIRSPRAY AND OBSESSION, FLOATING HIGH ON THE WIND
Mentioning hairspray and obsession in the atmosphere
IN THE HOLLYWOOD RAIN
Emphasizing the Hollywood rain as a setting
I still feel young in my soul
Feeling youthful internally despite the passage of time
But nights are longer in monochrome
Noting longer nights in a monochrome perspective
I close my eyes so I can see
Closing eyes to envision the same old movie
The same old movie on my silver screen
Revisiting memories on a metaphorical silver screen
Neon lightning striking all around
Repetition of neon lightning imagery
Pink and orange and violet-blues
Continuation of colorful scenes and lightning
From the cloud to the ground
Reiteration of lightning from cloud to ground
Like a movie I remember us frame by frame
Recalling memories as if from a movie
And that final scene in a Hollywood rain
Final scene in the metaphorical Hollywood rain
And that final scene in a Hollywood rain
Repetition of the final scene in Hollywood rain
Oh Hollywood RAIN!!!!!!
Intense emphasis on Hollywood rain as a concluding element
