Lenny Breau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Funny, but here's that rainy day
Here's that rainy day they told me about
And I laughed at the thought that it might turn out this way
Where is that worn out wish that I threw aside
After it brought my lover near
It's funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny how love becomes a cold rainy day
Funny, that rainy day is here
Lenny Breau's "Here's That Rainy Day" is a contemplative composition that considers the inevitability of challenging times, specifically romantic heartbreak. The first verse suggests regret for not holding onto past hopes and dreams, a sentiment of missed opportunities that's mirrored by the tumble of rain outside. Despite thinking it couldn't happen, the unhappy turn makes the statement's ironic. The second verse is a more direct expression of heartbreak, looking back on a lost love and noting that love itself can become pain on a wet day, with heartbreak becoming the downpour.
Breau's vocal delivery, scrupulously thoughtful, perfectly complements the mournful music. Listening to "Here's That Rainy Day" feels like being guided through a tumultuous period by a wise sage, a friend who reminds you that there's always something to learn, even in our lowest moments.
