    Acid Rain (song)

    Among the rain drops I walkSkin barely soaked while I talk Apparently to no one Alone yet so combined in my thoughtsI choose to believe I’m being mocked Apparently by no one Acid rain for the people walking byFriendly faces warm the hearts...

    • hello dearest Drieks this is one of your best in my opinion the climate out there is daunting… it worries me everyday I’m too old to change things in the eighties when I was young it was all about the money I don’t know if things have changed great write ❤️

      • Thank you Crimsin ❤️ I wrote most of this piece years ago and it saddens me that nothing has changed. If anything, it has gotten worse. I really appreciate your kind words.

    • The opening line= “Can we agree to disagree” I gave you head nod on that. This is so beautiful.

    • Thank you so much 💕
      I hope to keep expressing myself through this medium for a long time. And I’ll never forget who to thank for it 😉

    • You’re writing some very strong pieces Lady that are truly depicting that status of our current world. Please continue pushing your powerful words Lady

    • Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent write, you’re a gifted lyricist my friend. Love the choice of Reggae to paint the background for your amazing words my friend. Such a truthful message about the state of the world. Appreciate you.

      • Hey Damian! Can you believe I spent hours fitting these lyrics to punk rock??
        And then my sister was listening to a reggae song on her phone and that changed my mind instantly. I personally love the way it sounds as it is now.

        Thank you for your kind words Damian. I won’t forget your support.

    • Another strong piece, my friend. I am so glad Her introduced us. I listen to you often (I even read the words! — and they are alway truthful and necessary).

      I am so glad your sister wasn’t listening to a polka; this song would have a very different vibe. Brrr!

      • Thank you FD! It means a lot.
        Haha, Polka… No worries, I do have my limits!

    • This is fantastic. Keep on, keeping on.

    Shadows

    • Powerful work. Tremendous.

    • “We clone our fears
      Copy-paste the pain
      Pouring out the doubts like drops of rain
      Lessened by the scars we quietly bear
      Weakened by the reasoning we wouldn’t dare”

      Powerfully penned, Drieks. Excellent lyrics my friend, that verse I quoted, is so raw and authentic. Amazing arrangement that enhances these amazing words. I’m a fan. Appreciate you.

    • The lyrics and voice breathe in that space between hope and desolation, where very few are self-aware enough to tread. A glittered gift you possess. May I ask of your music influences? Without music the world dies.

      • Thank you Ghosteen! I couldn’t agree more! Music is a necessity.
        We need water, food, oxygen, love and music!
        My music influences are very broad. For this particulair piece i’d say Sia was the main influence.
        In general, my influences come from pop, hip-hop, dance, rock, EDM and propably some more i can’t think of right now haha.

        • Listen to some Nick Cave, Mazzy Star and the Cocteau Twins. If you can replicate the latter’s incomprehensible & ethereal voice & lyrics, I shall make a donation to an animal and children’s charity. Keep on keeping on. “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” As some bloke called Wilde once scribbled. Respect – not in the way uttered by a gangsta’ rapper. Not my thang. But genuine, UK respect.

    • This song hits me differently when I feel so tired and head is pounding from the beginnings of a migraine. Its like I can feel
      this line “Oh the shadows speak when the lights go dim, Invisible projections crawl from within”
      This is a great write

      • Very relatable unfortunately. Migraines can take control over so many things all at once.
        Thank you for your kind words Fia. 🙏🏻
