Rain Clouds Make The Best Music

[Spoken Intro] [Piano. Clean electric guitar. Very intimate.] You know what's funny... People always tell me... "P.J., Your best songs..." "They're the ones where we hear the real you." I always smile... Say thank you. But... I don't think people realize what they're really saying. Because the songs you're talking about... Those aren't just songs. Those are the days... I didn't know how to carry what I was feeling. So... I turned it into music. I love writing the funny ones. The songs that make us laugh. The ones where everybody's smiling. Those are my favorite songs. But those aren't the ones you ask me to play tonight. [Soft guitar begins to swell.] You guys... Always want the rain clouds. [Chorus] [Full band enters] You want the rain clouds... The songs that leave a mark. The ones that found me sitting in the dark. The ones that say what I never could. The ones that somehow... Make broken feel understood. You want the rain clouds... Maybe I do too... 'Cause every time they roll in... Another song breaks through. [Post Chorus] [Melodic humming] Mmmmm... Ooooooh... Mmmmm... Ooooooh... [Expressive Guitar Solo] [Emotional lead guitar. Singing bends. No vocals.] [Verse 2] Sometimes... The song saves me. Sometimes... It saves somebody else. Maybe that's enough. Some people check the weather... To see if it's going to rain. I check it... To see if I'm about to write again Not because I love the rain... But because I know I'm not the only one standing in it. [Pre-Chorus] Sunny days... Give me memories. Rainy days... Give me songs to sing. [Final Chorus] [Bigger. More emotional.] You want the rain clouds... The ones that help you breathe. The ones that remind you... You're not the only one who's ever had to grieve. You want the rain clouds... The ones that make you stay. If my hardest nights can help somebody find tomorrow... Then every storm... Found its way. [Outro] [Huge emotional guitar solo. Choir "oooohs." Music slowly strips back to piano.] Mmmmm... Ooooooh... [Everything fades] [Spoken Outro] Maybe... Rainclouds make the best music... But don't stop looking for the sun. Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh Oooh oooh oooh [Piano outro]
