With a sound all their own and a front man with the voice to carry it, Joan Red is re-defining modern rock... and the new definition rolls like this: rock- (noun)- pronounced (rok) - JOAN RED; Powerful choruses and catchy hooks driven by thunderous guitars and driving beats. It's music that takes you to another place. A place where fans push to the front of the stage decked out in black and red to pledge loyalty to a band that most have never heard of. A place where fists pump in the air and the crowds know the words to every song. This isn't just a band. This isn't just a gig. Welcome to a place where every show is an unforgettable "rock experience". Welcome to JOAN RED. Formed in late 2006, the band wrote and recorded it's first EP "Spread The Red" at Paul Ebersold's 747 studios in 2007 and began playing local venues and building a buzz. In September 2008, they completed their first, full length album and achieved notable regional success as well as radio airplay in markets from Missouri to Mississippi and on to Florida. With 65,000 Myspace friends and over 2.5 million plays, Joan Red is currently one of the most sought after live acts in the Memphis area and boasts an impressive touring schedule with hundreds of performances to date and beyond. Genres colliding, Joan Red has manipulated modern songwriting in the Rock/Alternative/Power Rock formats to feed their 'rock hungry' audience with limitless hooks and choruses. Often described as "Disturbed" meets "The Killers," they have shared the stage with national touring acts that include Three Days Grace, Avenged Sevenfold, Seether, One Less Reason, Taproot, Egypt Central, Sevendust, Saving Abel, Staind and Trust Co. With their single "You Be The Hero" already impacting radio, their full length debut album released in August of '09, and a non-stop touring schedule covering the Eastern half of the U.S, Joan Red is undeniably ready to take on the masses.
Lead singer Anthony Basurto died in his sleep on June 9, 2011. He is survived by his mother and brother.
Prayer For Rain
Joan Red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only you are the one I've been dreaming of
Hold your hand out let me take you to that
Other place I know
One I know we'll be alone
Everytime the sun will rise
Those stars above
They start to lie
We start to cry
I hold you
A tragedy in my skies
All I do love
Is pray for rain
A prayer for rain
Only the sun can beat you all alone
We fit so perfect and now I keep letting go
If you're wise enough to see
If you're kind to all that be
If you're here then now I know
Everytime the sun will rise
Those stars above
They grab the clouds
They start to lie
We start to cry
I hold you
A tragedy in my skies
All I do love
Is pray for rain
A prayer for rain
The sky is falling
With thunderbolts of roars
When the rain is coming
All I do is pray
I hold you
A tragedy in my skies
All I do love
Is pray for rain
A prayer for rain
Pray for rain
Don't stop your prayers
The lyrics of Joan Red's song Prayer For Rain can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to be about a relationship that has come to a crossroads. The singer is holding onto the hope that the person they are addressing will choose to stay with them and that they can find a new, special place where they can be happy together. However, there is a sense of sadness and longing in the lyrics, as the singer knows that everything is not going as planned. The line "hold your hand out let me take you to that other place I know" suggests a desire to escape from reality, to find something better than the situation they find themselves in.
The lyrics also mention the sun rising, stars, and clouds - all natural phenomena that are associated with the passing of time and the unpredictability of life. The line "Every time the sun will rise, those stars above, they grab the clouds, they start to lie, we start to cry" evokes a feeling of helplessness in the face of these seemingly uncontrollable forces. This theme is echoed in the lines "Only the sun can beat you all alone, we fit so perfect and now I keep letting go", which suggest a sense of inevitability and resignation.
Overall, Prayer For Rain is a poignant song that expresses the complexity of emotions that arise when a relationship is in trouble. It is a reminder of the power of hope, even in the face of difficult circumstances, and of the importance of staying true to oneself.

Daylight fails to fade here one by one
The sun sets slowly and gradually here
Only you are the one I've been dreaming of
You are the only one who can fulfill my desires
Hold your hand out let me take you to that
Other place I know
One I know we'll be alone
Take my hand and let me show you a secret place where only we will be present
Everytime the sun will rise
Those stars above
They grab the clouds
They start to lie
We start to cry
Each day starts with false hope, making us sad and disappointed
I hold you
A tragedy in my skies
All I do love
Is pray for rain
A prayer for rain
Being with you is the only happiness in my life and all I can do is hope for some relief in the form of rain
Only the sun can beat you all alone
We fit so perfect and now I keep letting go
If you're wise enough to see
If you're kind to all that be
If you're here then now I know
The only one who can defeat you is yourself and I keep moving away; if you can see the truth and stay kind, I will know that you are worth staying with
The sky is falling
With thunderbolts of roars
When the rain is coming
All I do is pray
As the thunder and lightning get stronger, I pray for the rain to finally arrive
Don't stop your prayers
Continue hoping and praying for a better future
