from Oannes *

Ένα από από τα “μεγάλα” τραγούδια του Peter Gabriel, είναι αυτό από το άλμπουμ του So. Το θυμήθηκα ενώ διάβαζα για την αφρικανική σκόνη και τις μεθόδους επηρεασμού του καιρού.

One of the “big” songs in Peter Gabriel’ s solo career is this one from his album So. It came to me while reading stuff about African dust and methods of Weather Modification.

❝ Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
I am standing up at the water’s edge in my dream
I cannot make a single sound as you scream
It can’t be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch
Hey, we touch
This place is so quiet, sensing that storm
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Well, I’ve seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town
They tell you that this rain can sting and look down
There is no blood around, see no sign of pain
Hey, no pain
Seeing no red at all, see no rain
Red rain is coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
Red rain
Oh, oh-oh
Putting the pressure on much harder now
To return again and again (Red rain)
Just let the red rain splash you
Let the rain fall on your skin (Red rain)
I come to you, defenses down (Oh, oh, oh)
With the trust of a child
Oh, oh, oh red rain coming down
Red rain
Red rain is pouring down
Pouring down all over me
And I can’t watch anymore
No more denial
It’s so hard to lay down in all of this
Red rain coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I see it
Red rain coming down
Red rain is pouring down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I’m bathing in
Red rain coming down
Red rain is coming down
Red rain is coming down all over me
I’m begging you
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Red rain coming down
Over me in the red, red sea
Over me
Over me
Red rain ❞
