Semptember Notes
Radical Noise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ran 'till I die to face the forgotten
I've never been pollen waiting for a bee
I've never been an ink drop dispersing in water
With every fall, I got risen
I go through three; I've got lost in one
I've never been strong enough to hold the roots of a tree
My fear darkens me while I laugh
I've learned being ownerless when I own
I've never wanted to be slower than the time
Or a snowflake resisting the spring sun
With every fall, I got risen
I go through three; I've got lost in one
I died with every planting flower and I couldn't stop it
Stolen life!
In Radical Noise's song "September Notes," the lines in the first stanza express the singer's surrender to the vastness and power of the ocean. The use of the word "yield" suggests submission, while "gout" could be interpreted as drops of himself that he offers up. The following verses suggest the singer's desire to face something that has been forgotten, something that he possibly fears he has lost. The lines "I've never been pollen waiting for a bee" and "I've never been an ink drop dispersing in water" can be seen as the singer's denial of being insignificant or easily dispersed.
In the second stanza, the singer communicates his experience with struggle and the idea of rising after falling. The line "I go through three; I've got lost in one" could mean that he has gone through three attempts and lost in one of them, possibly suggesting that he has failed multiple times but keeps moving forward. He then states that he has never been strong enough to hold the roots of a tree, possibly symbolizing a desire to be grounded but feeling unable to do so. The use of "stolen life" at the end of each verse may suggest that life has not been entirely in his control.
In the last stanza, the singer reveals that even though he may be afraid, he has found the freedom in being "ownerless," implying that he has gained strength from letting go of control. He then declares that he has never wanted to be slower than time or a snowflake resisting the sun, which can be interpreted as his refusal to be left behind or to resist change. The line "I died with every planting flower and I couldn't stop it" can be seen as the singer acknowledging the inevitability of change and the fact that one cannot hold onto anything forever.

I yield my every gout to the ocean
I give everything I have to something greater than myself, like the vastness of the sea
I ran 'till I die to face the forgotten
I have pushed myself to my limit in order to confront things that have been left behind or ignored
I've never been pollen waiting for a bee
I am not waiting around for someone or something else to give me purpose or direction
I've never been an ink drop dispersing in water
I refuse to fade into the background or disappear without leaving a mark
With every fall, I got risen
Even when I experience setbacks or failures, I find a way to rise up and continue forward
I go through three; I've got lost in one
I have experienced different stages or phases in my life, and have struggled to find my way through one of them

Stolen life!
My life has been taken from me without my consent or control
My fear darkens me while I laugh
I struggle with inner turmoil and fear, even when I try to put on a happy facade
I've learned being ownerless when I own
I have come to understand that even when I possess something, I cannot always control it or be tied down to it
I've never wanted to be slower than the time
I do not want to be held back or restricted by the passage of time, but instead want to make the most of each moment
Or a snowflake resisting the spring sun

I died with every planting flower and I couldn't stop it
I have experienced loss and death, and have felt helpless in trying to prevent it

I bought Paperback Writer/Rain on the first day of release in 1966.
My father worked at EMI Ltd, Hayes, and one of the the benefits of working for this great organization was that the staff got a discount on the records and audio equipment that they produced.
During the 1960s, I would meet my father after he had finished work at EMI and we'd go to the Staff Sales record section and I'd look through the huge selection of records that EMI produced. Its true to say that I spent a great deal of my money at EMI Staff Sales.
For some reason which I cannot remember, I didn't go to EMI to buy The Beatles new single, Paperback Writer/Rain, my father bought it on my behalf and brought it home for me.
We had a Marconi-phone radio-gram (another EMI product) back in the sixties and after I had played the A side, Paperback Writer, I turned the record over to hear the B side, Rain.....WOW!!
Rain hit me like an express train coming out of a tunnel, this was something quite different to what had come before. I played Rain repeatedly much to my parents displeasure!
It still rates as one of my favorite Beatle songs, its not the lyrics that set it apart, its the sound, the overall sound that hits you!!
Thank God its not just me that appreciated this great B side all those years ago!
It must be difficult to appreciate The Beatles for anyone born after 1970, if you were growing up in the 1960s you were living through a period of immense cultural change and every new Beatles record meant more change, and the changes effected so much, it was much more than the music, it was about fashion, politics, religion, sex, literature, theatre and travel.
The changes were huge and we still feel those changes to this day.

NEW EPISODE! What do YOU think about Rain? Should it have been included on Revolver instead of being released as a single?
LesSoleilsdePhoenix
Great video! Both Rain and Paperback Writer should have been kept for Revolver, along with all tracks from the original UK release. That would have made even more consensus for it as the greatest rock album, as it would have more obviously outclassed Sgt. Pepper's and all others. I think that She Said She Said is their greatest song, but Rain, Dear Prudence, and Norwegian Wood are right up there behind it. December 8th was just a few days ago. 😢

No doubt revolver would be the greatest rock album with this song and paperback writer and removing yellow submarine
Kevin Merriott
I bought the single in 66. Rain was my favorite song on the single. Paperback writer was 2nd. Although I loved the guitar intro on paperback
Oliver King
Top ten at least

Honestly, I think Rain was much better off as a single, because it gave the listeners the opportunity to hear what was in store. If they for whatever chose to bump two tracks off of Revolver for Paperback Writer and Rain, I'd pitch Love You To and For No One for those tracks. The ONLY reason why I'd pitch the latter is because it was another Yesterday just with a different arrangement and lyrics, the theme remains unchanged.
Curtis Duncan Music
I WAS around in '66, and yes, "Rain" sounded completely fresh and revolutionary. I am so glad to have lived through this incredibly creative, innovative period of time.
Nick’s Restos
I was too. According to the vid. I was 7 days old when the first sat down to write that song. I love that song.
Gavin Spencer
I really dont think one could describe this track as "tragically overlooked". To Beatles fans, it's a masterpiece.
Douglas Parise
I like rain
