“Can’t Blame It On The Rain” is the latest release from The East & The Crow. We started writing this song just before the pandemic hit and we had dreams of taking it on the road through 2020, but there were certainly complications to that. Instead of giving up and blaming it on the rain we stood our ground and kept working on the song. Through band members moving away, having kids, and brain surgeries we have taken the tune on road where we built a well rounded song with harmonies, synths and a crazy syncopated bridge. The message in the song is that no matter what life throws at you can’t blame it on the rain!

Lyrics
You can’t blame it on the rain
It’s not the cause of your pain
When the waters pouring down
It’s not the reason that you’ll drown
You’ve got this book of memories
You thought you’d burn it but the scars still bleed
And when those feelings come around
You know she’ll always bring you down
Grey skies go away
Thunderclouds won’t stay
The feelings won’t last and the depression’s gonna pass and it’ll be okay
So don’t blame it on the rain
Don’t blame it on the rain
You use this atmosphere
To hide from all your fears
But in your mind you’re subterfuge
A personal refuge
Now these feelings building up
It’s like a bomb you just can’t defuse
It’s your choice red or blue
But one way you’re gonna lose
Grey skies go away
Thunderclouds won’t stay
Feelings won’t last and the depression’s gonna pass and it’ll be okay
So don’t blame it on the rain
Don’t blame it on the rain
Two feet on the ground
The rain is coming down
Put both hands in the air
To wash away your cares
Two feet on the ground
The rain is coming down
Put both hands in the air
To wash away (Wash away, wash away) your cares
Grey skies go away
Thunderclouds won’t stay
The feelings won’t last and the depression’s gonna pass and it’ll be okay
So don’t blame it on the rain
Don’t blame it on the rain
Two feet on the ground
The rain is coming down
Put both hands in the air
To wash away your cares
Two feet on the ground
The rain is coming down
Put both hands in the air
To wash away (Wash away, wash away) your cares
Grey skies go away
Thunderclouds won’t stay
The feelings won’t last and the depression’s gonna pass and it’ll be okay
So don’t blame it on the rain
Don’t blame it on the rain
Don’t blame it on the rain
