April Rain

Spring is here, it's in the air
Gentle wind is blowing your hair
Your love melted like the snow
before the leaves began to grow
 
A girl like her is hard to find
Now a part of you is left behind
Her love was like the April rain
only sweet memories will remain
 
The same old feeling comes again
when you are standing in the April rain
April rain will heal your heart
out of the wound, new joy will start
April rain, fresh and warm
Wash your tears in the April rain
Soon the Sun will shine again

Misty rain falls from the sky
while migrating birds are passing by
hear them singing a love song
about the place where you belong
 
The same old feeling comes again
when you are standing in the April rain
April rain will heal your heart
out of the wound, new joy will start
April rain, fresh and warm
Wash your tears in the April rain
Soon the Sun will shine again
 
Feel the taste of the first warm breeze
blowing down through the trees
Year after year the grass grows green
Above the dust where you have been
 
The same old feeling comes again
when you are standing in the April rain
April rain will heal your heart
out of the wound, new joy will start
April rain, fresh and warm
Wash your tears in the April rain
Soon the Sun will shine again

Hi refusedrevival! 
What a positive vibe to a song about rain!  Who knew that was even possible!  I really liked the repetitive nature...with a song this length, it allowed listeners to grab onto lyrics and sing along.  Some lyrics I felt could’ve done with another look as they stuck outa bit...like when you sang “ love sooooooooong”. It seemed out of the flow of your established syllabic rhythm.  Otherwise, I loved how it took us on a fun journey and even how carefree it was.  Congratulations on a your lovely work!

Good stuff. I liked the theme, and lyrically it appeals to me.
Athough there are some technical issues you could look at, sadly I'm not the one to advise you on it.

The vocals remind me of ol' ozzy osbourne (I hope you're not tired of hearing that)

well done.

Yo RR.

I quite enjoyed the song. I think the length may work best live,if it were down to me I cut it to a max of 3 mins,but maybe that's just where my head is at the moment,I like short songs that leave me wanting more!

There are a few timing issues here and there,but overall it's a good song well performed. Love that Tele.

Hi Miuzia, Rightly and Skub,

Thank you for listening and comments.

Yeah, good track. It's actually quite catchy because of "April Rain" being repeated a lot. I like your voice, and although I can hear Ozzy, I also hear The Saw Doctors (if that means anything to you, I loved 'em back in the day!) That said, although you pack plenty of feeling in the vocal, IMHO there are one or two points where a little pitch correction would have aided things.

[montydog]

OK, this didn't really work for me. There is a lot of repetition of "Rain" in it's various forms and some of the rhymes are a little obvious. There are some timing issues but nothing too major. I thought your vocal never sounded comfortable - maybe the wrong key for the sweet spot of your voice. I don't like being negative but the bottom line is that I didn't find it a pleasant listen and I think it needs to be more "musical" ( I don't mean bring in Julie Andrews for the chorus!).

Sorry

Not bad! definitely a catchy rock n roll song. I could see this bing a classic. I could also see this being a really well done song acoustically, maybe with more jazzy 7 chords. Ballet type song. But for what you have man its great. keep it up!!

I liked the song. It has a kind of positive vibe to it, even though the lyrics dont reflect it in the same way. Keep it up!
