Perrelli is married to Stockholm-based Italian restaurateur Nicola Ingrosso, brother of Emilio Ingrosso who was married to another Swedish singer Pernilla Wahlgren in the 1990s. Following a feud with the rest of the family, Charlotte and Nicola decided to change both of their last names to Perrelli. They reside in Stockholm with their two sons. In June 2008 the couple officially announced that they were taking a break in their relationship. It had been speculated for some time in the Swedish media that their relationship was on the rocks. It is believed that Charlotte's heavy workload was a contributing factor to the couple's split. This was later denied by both Nicola and Charlotte, the couple stated they was just taking a break from each other but were still very much in love.
Crying in the Rain
Charlotte Nilsson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE THINKING SHE WOULD ALWAYS WISH YOU WELL
SHE'D TAKE A FALL, FOR ONE AND ALL, AND ENDS UP ON HER FEET
A MILLION FRIENDLY FACES ALL WAITING FOR THEIR TREAT
WHEN THE RAINDROPS ARE FALLING AND SHE'S OUT THERE ON HER OWN,
AND THEN HER CHEEKS GET WET
SHE CRIES IN THE RAIN, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE SHE CAN DO
SHE CRIES IN THE RAIN AGAIN
SHE HOLDS IT WITHIN SO YOU CAN'T TELL THAT SHE'S BEEN,
CRYING IN THE RAIN
WHO'S TO BLAME WHEN LOVE AND HATE COLLIDE
IF THERE'S SUCH A THING AS SOULMATES, SHE'LL BE SATISFIED
SHE'S GOT A POCKET FULL OF MONEY AND A SUITCASE IN HER HAND
A FIRST CLASS TICKET AND HER SHADES IN BLACK JUST TO MAKE A STAND
BUT WHEN THE RAIN STARTS POURING AND THE SKY TURNS GREY,
THEN HER CHEEKS GET WET
SHE CRIES IN THE RAIN, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE SHE CAN DO
SHE CRIES IN THE RAIN AGAIN
BUT WHAT SHE WOULDN'T DO, IS TO CRY OVER YOU
SHE HOLDS IT WITHIN SO YOU CAN'T TELL THAT SHE'S BEEN,
CRYING IN THE RAIN
SO SWEET, SO INNOCENT, WELL YOU KNOW
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE THINKING, SHE'D NEVER LET IT GO
I TRIED TO SEE IT THROUGH HER EYES BUT I DON'T COMPREHEND
WHAT IT ALL ADDS UP TO, WELL I DON'T UNDERSTAND
SHE CRIES IN THE RAIN, THERE'S NOTHING ELSE SHE CAN DO
SHE CRIES IN THE RAIN AGAIN
BUT WHAT SHE WOULDN'T DO, IS TO CRY OVER YOU
SHE HOLDS IT WITHIN SO YOU CAN'T TELL THAT SHE'S BEEN,
CRYING IN THE RAIN
The song "Crying in the Rain" by Charlotte Nilsson is about a sweet and innocent person who always wishes everyone well, even if they don't deserve it. This person takes a fall for others and always manages to get back on their feet. However, when the rain comes, and they are alone, they can't help but cry. They hold in their pain so that no one can see that they have been crying. The song highlights the idea that sometimes good people suffer, but they always hide their pain from the world.
The lyrics suggest that this person has gone through a difficult experience with someone they loved. The line "What she wouldn't do, is to cry over you" implies that the person has been hurt, but they won't let the pain get the best of them. They cry in the rain, where they can be alone with their emotions. The song also explores the idea of soulmates and how finding someone who truly understands you can bring satisfaction.
Overall, the song speaks to the resilience of good people who face challenges but continue to persevere. It also sheds light on the idea that sometimes the people who appear to be the strongest are the ones who suffer the most.
