This one is Mishka Frith.… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Mishka.
This one is Mishka Frith. Like his older sister, singer/songwriter Heather Nova (born Heather Frith), pop-reggae singer Mishka grew up at sea, traveling from island to island in the West Indies on his Canadian mother and Bermudian father's sailboat, where he received most of his education and listened to whatever music he could. When his parents returned to Canada, he completed school and returned to the Caribbean, eventually becoming a competitive windsurfer and representing Bermuda at international meets. In the meantime, he had also taken up songwriting, and he chanced to meet and impress Creation Records head Alan McGee with his vocal ability in late 1996; with prodding from Nova, Mishka was signed to a record contract the following year. His eponymous debut album, a mix of pop, reggae, soul, and singer/songwriter folk-rock, was released in 1999.
The other Mishka is from Ireland, currently living in America. Fronted by Lauren Norton. They have one EP - 47 Varieties Of Hindsight. Myspace: www.myspace.com/mihskamusik
When the Rain Comes Down
Mishka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
no matter what I said it seems I could never get through to you
No matter what I said it seems it's been so hard to reach you
still I keep calling yeah
and I hope that you'll hear,
cause I'm trying to make it clear
I'll always be there when the rains comes down
The lyrics of Mishka's song When the Rain Comes Down explore the theme of persistence and determination in communicating with someone you care for deeply. The singer tells the listener that no matter how hard they try to convey their feelings, it seems like they are not getting through. However, despite the challenges, the singer remains committed to reaching them, calling out to them and hoping that they will eventually hear and understand the message. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and determination, as if the singer truly believes that they can break through the barriers and connect with this person on a deeper level.
The chorus of the song, "I'll always be there when the rain comes down, and I really want to see you when you come around," reinforces this theme of commitment and steadfastness. It suggests that the singer will be there for this person, no matter what difficulties they face, and that they truly want to be close to them. The use of rain as a metaphor for difficult times adds to the emotional intensity of the lyrics, conveying a sense of vulnerability and tenderness.

5:28 In my mind theres a picture
Of blue sea that i sail,
The morning sunlight on the haze, smokie island reapears.
Grey haze not quiet real, green haze can you see, the hill so far away, the hill so far away.
Good vibrations i remember, drifting out to me, the voices calling from the shore, says the children most be free.
Grey haze not quiet real, green haze cant you see, the hill so far away, they fade from green to grey.
In a dream i remember, save it, never surrender,
Yeah In dreams i remember, we are all one love defender, we are all one love defender.
