To be able to reach this point BlackRain, then featuring three original members Swan, MatH, Max 2 and Frank F., worked unbelievably hard, deciding to relocate to Paris where they were able to dedicate themselves full time to music and to work closer to Dany T. their manager. They met great bands like Europe, Papa Roach, Alice Cooper, Scorpions and Steel Panther with whom they played; and last but not least American producer Jack Douglas, known for his work with Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, The New York Dolls and even John Lennon… a true music "legend" who provided all of his good old fashioned experience to the making of "It Begins".
"Some friends of mine laughed when I said to them I was going to Paris to work with a French rock band... Well, they are going to be surprised!!! "– so said Jack as he landed in the French capital in August 2012, arriving hot foot from completing the latest recording with Aerosmith.
This new album, recorded in Paris during late Summer 2012 is the result of many months of collaboration between BlackRain team and Jack. He really applied his magic touch to the whole process. And to complete the circle it’s Warren Huart, Aerosmith’s sound engineer who, along with Jack, mixed these new BlackRain songs at Swing House Studios in Los Angeles, a place where the Toxic Twins so often worked.
With straight ahead, catchy rockers like "Blast Me Up" (the first single and video clip), "Death By Stereo", "Bad Love", and the sharp edged "Dancing with Fire", BlackRain reminds us that this gang has grown up with the sounds of WASP, Guns N ' Roses, Skid Row, Ratt and Mötley Crüe. Other tracks suggest different influences, equally interesting: "Young Blood", a mesmerizing mid-tempo groover, "Cryin' Tonight", an almost perfect pop pleasure or "Wild Wild, Wild" with its anthemic chorus and hook. It’s clear that with these songs, all written by the main composer Swan, you have the kind of artist who’s not just satisfied with living with the influences of the present or the past. The gorgeous ballad "Nobody But You" and “Re-Evolution - New Generation", undoubtedly the most ambitious and most surprising moment of the entire album, prove beyond doubt that BlackRain can never be labeled as “followers”.
This artistic "risk taking" shows the wish and the ability of BlackRain to create new events. One may not be surprised when they took part in the TV show "France's got talent", where the band played three of their new songs in front of millions of TV viewers. They ended at the fourth rank at the final, a "score" nobody would have imagines at the beginning of this adventure.
The kind of surprise the long way of rock'n'roll can offer to the most reckless guys.

NOBODY BUT YOU
BlackRain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In a world, holding me in your love
So little time, last caress
Too much feelings, so strong, so reckless
I'm waiting to feel
Waiting to feel your breath on my skin
I'm waiting to feel
Longing for your love, for a velvet kiss
Ain't a second I would miss
Chorus :
You're all I have, you're all I need and I could die for you
Every single beat of my heart belongs to you, oh baby I love you
I need you close to me and I don't want nobody but you
Every single beat of my heart belongs to you, oh it's only you
It doesn't matter how long, how far
You light up my skies like the shiniest star
Until we are no longer apart
Until this moment I'll hold you in my heart
I'm waiting to feel
Waiting to feel your breath on my skin
I'm longing to feel
Longing to feel your breath on my skin
I'm longing to feel
Longing for your love, for a velvet kiss
Lying by your side
Ain't a second that I would miss
Chorus

The singer is so much in love with the other person that they don't want anyone else but them. The world around them may change, but the love of this person will always light up the singer's sky like the shiniest star until they meet and hold them in their heart.

You lift me up high above
You elevate me to a better place
In a world, holding me in your love
Within your love, I have security in this world
So little time, last caress
There's not enough time, so every touch is precious
Too much feelings, so strong, so reckless
My emotions are overpowering and uncontrollable
I'm waiting to feel
I yearn to experience
Waiting to feel your breath on my skin
I long for the sensation of your breath on my skin
I'm waiting to feel
I yearn to experience
Longing for your love, for a velvet kiss
I crave your affection and a soft, tender kiss from you
Lying by your side
Being next to you
Ain't a second I would miss
I wouldn't miss any moment spent with you
You're all I have, you're all I need and I could die for you
You mean everything to me, and I would do anything for you
Every single beat of my heart belongs to you, oh baby I love you
My heart is devoted to you, and I love you deeply
I need you close to me and I don't want nobody but you
I require your proximity, and I desire no one else but you
It doesn't matter how long, how far
Distance and time are insignificant when it comes to our love
You light up my skies like the shiniest star
You brighten up my life more than anything else
Until we are no longer apart
Until we're together again
Until this moment I'll hold you in my heart
I'll keep you in my heart until we meet again
Longing to feel your breath on my skin
I yearn for the sensation of your breath on me
Longing for your love, for a velvet kiss
I crave your affection, and a soft kiss from you
Lying by your side
Being close to you
Ain't a second that I would miss
I wouldn't miss any moment with you
