Rainy Day Song (1st draft) #549

About this song:
It was the most beautiful rainy day yesterday. It just felt so peaceful and healing. The sound of the raindrops falling through the leaves of the trees and the leaves of the Jewel Weed and the Hosta plants just outside my window. I recorded some clips for my video library, and the process really started to open me to that “creative muse” that flows in sometimes… and it started to flow in… I was barely able to put on my microphone and grab my guitar before it came through… It moved from just a new song, into a sweet Sound Healing Hypnosis session… enjoy…

Rainy Day Song

Song #549   |  07/27/17   | Recorded live 07/27/17 1st draft

Welcome to my rainy day

There’s a particle of dust up in the atmosphere
There’s a particle of dust who knows where it came from
Maybe even here…

There’s a particle of dust and it calls to a water molecule

“come here! Let me sing a rainy day song

Come here… sing a rainy day song with me”

Sing a rainy song with me
Sing a rainy song with me
Sing a rainy song with me
Sing a rainy song with me

I played one of my songs at a local Unitarian Church
And they seemed to appreciate my universal message of love
At the end this man comes up to me and asks,
“Do you have any songs about the weather?”

The weather…
The weather…
The weather…

I love the way the jewel weed just gives… allows each raindrop to fall
Slowing down it’s motion,
Slowing down the force of gravity
Sometimes I imagine that I’m a tiny chipmunk
Moving through the jewel weed and the Hostas and the ferns
Like it’s some kind of cathedral

Sometimes the rain falls on the wise and the kind
Sometimes the rain falls on the fools and the blind
Sometimes the rain waters the crops
Sometimes the rain ruins our plans
Sometimes the rain washes away the land
Sometimes the rain doesn’t come
The world dries out, the fires spread…

I’d like to suggest, if I could, that the ideas that I sing about
Begin to fall like rain into your unconscious mind
I would like to suggest, but it’s only a suggestion, that

You begin to believe in yourself, you begin to love yourself,
You think thoughts like rain into your conscious soil,
thoughts like rain feeding the roots of your ideas
And filling up your brain with resourcefulness, ideas, creativity and love

Take it in if you can. Reflect it back if you can’t

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

You write some great songs!

Hi Mark, You write some great songs! I really enjoyed listening to all of them on Spark and Flame. Thank you for all that you do. Keep up the good work! All the best.

Susan

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)
