"When I first listened to this song, I was awestruck. I listened all day every day for weeks, trying to engrain each note into my brain. A love song about bugs and rainwater in a strange, unpredictable key. The simple desperation quietly called out to me, saying, 'You need to learn this song on the guitar so you can sing it too.' So I sat down one afternoon when I was alone and picked it out. Now when I listen to it, it's less because of the obsessive need to, and more out of sheer pleasure."
lyrics
A blueprint for a living with the herd
Life's a moving image that occurred
I'm not too keen on pleasantries
And water is too pure for me
When I'm close to my love
I drink the rain
I drink the rain, all it's remains
Drink rain, puddles as grains
I drink rain
To get closer to you
Wetness benefits the firefly
Life is but a flicker then you die
To some the traction of its glow
As ugly as the sullied snow
When I'm close to my love
I drink the rain
I drink the rain, all it's remains
Drink rain like iced Champagne
I drink rain
To get closer to you
To get closer to you

From L.A. comes the latest from post-rock outfit bondo, with tendrils of spindly guitar snaking through arid percussion. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 4, 2023
