about

'Shaking Rain' was written in December 2014 and released as a single in March 2016.

Written with a strange tuning (DEDF#AE), it came very naturally without much refining on the song until it was recorded Steve Rodford (The Zombies) in January 2016.

Passionate, dramatic and romantic, it boast a big, gorgeous production from Steve Rodford and excellent vocal arrangements from Nick.

lyrics

Shaking Rain by Nick Stephenson © 2014

I’d like to see you wearing sunshine
Swinging on a tree of stars
Walking through a magic doorway and feeling like the world is ours.

Talking at a pace only we know
Putting dark times to right
Burying the bad reactions and the armour we used to fight.

Chorus
Holding hands
Shaking rain
Staying whole
Floating away again x2

If I ever had to dig too deeply
Wadding through a mud graveyard
I wouldn’t trust people to save us and try to rescue what we have.

Coz people got their own agendas, hang-ups and histories
Projecting all their guarded feelings onto something only we believe.

Now I can see you wearing sunshine
Smiling with the kiss of stars
We’ve learned to swim across this ocean
Now we claim the worlds as ours
