Rain Or Shine
Almost Empty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summer time, the weather's fine
If it's not, we don't really mind
We're just looking for the space and time
To unwind
And escape the nine to five
Skies are blue, the sun it shines
Spending days, fully reclined
Escape the grind, free your mind
Catch some sun if you're so inclined
Burning sand and Ocean blue
Let's get together round the barbecue
Overdrawn, my rents overdue
I'll just
Spend my days playing TF2
Maybe
Take my daughter for an ice-cream
It's
A single dad's, summer time pipe dream
My girls and me, that's my team
Baby
And I can't forget the suncream
Maybe

It don't matter bout the weather
Cos I know we're gonna get there
As long as you, me and her there
Then It don't matter bout the weather
No it don't matter bout the weather

Working hard, saving up
For that brief bit of summer sun
That brief bit of summer fun
It's all over and done
Before it's even really begun
The one week, the hottest heat wave
Since
Records began, get a fan
And find some shade
You've just been paid, pack a suitcase
Take some time out of the UK
Get away, or stay home
Either way, get some colour in your cheek bones
There's fun to be had at a stone's throw
To give yourself that smug warm glow
Rent yourself a chateau in Bordeaux
Or a day trip to Skeggy
Just go
Summer time, the weather's fine
Even if it's not, we don't really mind

It don't matter bout the weather
Cos I know we're gonna get there
As long as you, me and her there
Then It don't matter bout the weather
No it don't matter bout the weather
Rain or shine, we don't really mind




We're just
Loving life in the summer time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Rain or Shine" by Almost Empty celebrate the carefree spirit of summer and the joy of taking a break from the daily grind. The song encourages listeners to embrace the little moments of relaxation and escape, regardless of the weather.


The first verse sets the scene for a summertime getaway, where the singer seeks space and time to unwind from the nine-to-five routine. The lyrics convey a sense of not letting the weather dictate their enjoyment, emphasizing that they are looking for any opportunity to relax and rejuvenate. Whether the skies are blue and the sun is shining, or if it's not ideal weather, they don't really mind as long as they can catch some sun and escape the monotonous routine.


The second verse explores different activities and desires during summer. The line "Burning sand and Ocean blue" suggests a beach setting, where the character envisions gathering with friends and family around a barbecue. Despite financial struggles represented by an overdrawn rent payment, they prioritize spending time and having fun. The mention of playing TF2 (Team Fortress 2, a popular video game) and taking their daughter for an ice-cream indicates their desire for simple pleasures and bonding moments with loved ones.


The chorus reinforces the notion that the weather doesn't matter when they have the company of their loved ones. It's the presence of "you, me, and her" - likely referring to their partner and daughter - that truly makes a difference. The weather becomes trivial when they have the opportunity to be together and make the most of their time.


The final verse encapsulates the common experience of longing for and anticipating the limited days of summer. The singer works hard and saves up to make the most of the short-lived summer sun, acknowledging the fleeting nature of the season. Even if it's just for a week, they want to experience the hottest heatwave and feel the warmth of the sun on their skin. The lyrics suggest the possibility of a vacation abroad (Chateau in Bordeaux) or a day trip to a coastal town like Skegness. The key message is to find joy and contentment in the limited time they have during summer.


Overall, "Rain or Shine" is an anthem that encourages listeners to embrace the carefree spirit of summer, prioritize moments of relaxation and escape, and celebrate the joy of spending quality time with loved ones, regardless of the weather conditions.

Mortar_And_Pestle____

Don't mind me, just making heart-wrenching, WOF-based stories.

Sakura laid beside Red'Diamond, gazing at his neutral face as his raspy breaths laid a sort of rhythm for her to breathe by as well. She felt her scales melt into a warm pink as she leaned into his chest and held him as close and tight as she dared. She felt herself, her grip on this life loosening day by day.

By sunrise one of them would be dead. She knew the agony it would bring them both to find their soulmate dead in their grasp. She held him tighter, her chest tightening with the ever-increasing sorrow. She wanted to stay here for as long as she could, she wanted to wake him up with breakfast.

She watched as her surroundings slid into blackness. She knew that she was asleep, but she'd never wake up again...only, she did. She opened her eyes to see a panicked Red, holding her.

"Sakura! Oh my moons, I thought I lost you!" Red exclaimed, holding her as tightly as his feeble old body could, she felt the hot tears spring out of her eyes, stain her cheeks and the soft pit-pat noise they made as they landed on Red's almost gray, dark, sun-bleached and chipped scales. He was a shabby old fool next to the stud he'd been when they first met. He always looked the same to her, the same old, sweet, considerate, overprotective and loving dragon she married.

"Hey, hey, it's okay. We're okay." Red said soothingly. They both knew that couldn't be farther from the truth.

"Red, I don't wanna go." Sakura suddenly sensed the urgency of their impending doom. Red just nodded slowly, sitting up and holding her. She took in his smell, which was expensive champagne, roses and the slight undertone of cashmere.
She really didn't want to go, but she felt everything slowly fade.
First, the scent left her.
Second, her vision began blurring and she heard Red sniffle.
Third, the sense of touch. She felt weightless as her talons went limp.
She heard Red give a choked sob as he held her. Her hearing began to fade, she heard Red's heavy sobbing and sniffling, before he whispered softly,

"I love you. I promise I'll never forget you. Nobody will forget you as long as I'm here."

After that, she was gone. The weightless feeling consumed her and the warmth of Red's arms around her faded. She was dead now. The blackness had consumed her eyes, the only sound her ears provided was subtle ringing.
Oh, poor Red. Poor, hopeless Red.




Red sat, holding his dead wife and sobbing for hours.

She was gone.

The reason he'd stopped drinking, the one thing he'd vowed to love until the day he ceased was gone. He could barely breathe as he looked down at her pale face, tears splashing on her scales.. she was..so beautiful, even in death, she outshone the sun itself. The moon and stars were jealous of how she shined.

He deeply inhaled, taking in her scent one more time. The smell of sunlight, sakura trees in bloom, and of course the hint of cashmere. He was still holding her when their children arrived. Sunshower was the most shaken, the poor thing.

"DAD?!" Sunshower had screamed, her voice shattering his thoughtless mourning like a stone in glass.
"She's dead." Eve whispered, tears spilling over her too-large eyes, Red was glad they hadn't brought the dragonets. He just sat there, an empty husk as their children went off, to arrange the funeral, take her to the funeral home. Oh, how the funeral would sting.



(1 year later-)
Red looked down at the empty bed. He'd kept the bed clean, but never changed the padding (it didn't rot).

He couldn't bring himself to, it still smelled of her a year after her death. He laid down, sighing heavily and closing his eyes. He expected the common nightmare, but instead it was simply black.

His nose twitched, but picked up no scent. After a while, his touch on the sheets had left him too. He..he was going to die, finally. After all those nights of missing her, he'd see her and hold her again.

"Red?" A whisper-like voice asked, but he knew it was Sakura's. He opened his eyes, a dazzling field of dandelions and wildflowers expanded on and into infinity before them. Sakura was young, and beautiful as she'd always been.
"We're here?" Red asked, expecting to be plunged into some sort of terrible blackness, the feeling of fault for her death. "We're here." Sakura answered, and he needed no further explanation. He just held her. He had realized his own body was brought back to youth, and he smiled.


"We're here!" He bellowed into the vast, endless space as he lifted her and spun with her in his arms. Tears of happiness stained both of their faces.


He kissed her, again inhaling the scent of his late wife. The sunlight, sakura and cashmere was still as strong as before.
