Description

It's as if an old raincoat is hanging on the coat rack, and the sun is shining again outside. Everything is wet, but already warm, and even steam is rising from the puddles like music. It sounds like something between a confession and a dance in place: a little rhythm, a little tenderness, a touch of weariness - and suddenly it all turns into a soft "let's do it again, but this time with a smile." There's a weariness in their voice, as if it has decided to become care. It feels like the moment you stop hiding under an umbrella, straighten your shoulders, and walk right into the rain - simply because life tastes good again.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Let me tell you all the sweet things.

So there is something good to find.

Let me show you how to taste them.

So you can hold them in your mind.

Let me throw my arms around you.

So I can feel your heart.

We can do this over again, and still come back to the start.

Are you down for hard times?

Coming 'round the bend.

Go on for me.

One more time again.

Kick out the blues.

Shake off the rain.

Kick out the blues.

Shake off the rain.

Let me fold you my confession.

So you can read my flaws.

Let me play you something moving.

When you can't move at all.

Let me show you how to take it.

So you know that you've been born.

We'll keep growing out of this.

As flowers from the storm.

Are you down for hard times?

Coming 'round the bend.

Go on for me.

One more time again.

Kick out the blues.

Shake off the rain.

Kick out the blues.

Shake off the rain.

Kick out the blues.

Shake off the rain
