EP 9: The story behind the song | Stone Blind Rain
Can you manufacture a vulnerable performance? How did the idioms "whistling past the graveyard" and "potters field" originate? What is blind rain? The answers to these questions are part the latest behind-the-song episode, as we listen to the demo and final version of "Stone Blind Rain" track 8 from Heaven Get Behind Me.
LYRICS:
Stone Blind Rain
Will I ever see you again
Am I really going
What’ll happen then
I loved and I died
What more can a man say
That’s all we do
We love and we die
They’ll bury me in Potter’s Field
Under a stone with no name
And I wonder
Will you whistle when you pass
And whisper my name
Just ate my last meal
And I feel nothing
It left a stain on my sleeve
Falling from grace
Is that grace falling from the sky
They’re putting up a new schoolhouse
That I’ll never see
They say the sun’s out today
And then they say it gonna rain
You call that stone blind rain
You call it stone blind rain
They say the sun’s out today
They say it’s a good day to die
