Toronto’s Only August dropped the single The Rain on March 13, 2020.
The song is a metaphor about the growth of a relationship.
Only August co-wrote the song with his wife, who encouraged him to write in a way that reflects his current relationship and their strengths.
The song’s lyrics describe the simple care and nurture required to sustain a relationship, just as a plant needs rain to drink, sunshine to grow, as well as shade and space.
Only August juxtapose the chaos of unpredictability of a storm with these acts of care.
“The Rain” is a representation of these ups and downs.
The Rain gets:
/10.
