The Seven Places guys are from southern Oregon and have a long family history in the Calvary Chapel environment. Tyler Jones, guitarist for Seven Places comments, ”The Calvary Chapel system was initially created for hippies on the beach in southern California to hear the gospel. They were kids that were a little out of the box from the mainstream church at the time, but the worship was amazing and it spoke to them. They were getting saved right where they were, in their environment. We’ve just carried that original philosophy into our band. We want to impact kids right where they are.” Indeed they have. Seth and Tyler, together with Seth’s little brother Jeffrey on drums, and Donnie Vizzini on bass began playing for their youth group at a weekly worship event. That number went from 100 to 1,000 kids and stayed that way for two years. Shortly thereafter, Seven Places signed a record deal with BEC Recordings and hit the studio with producer Aaron Sprinkle (Kutless, Jeremy Camp) to record their debut release, Lonely For The Last Time. Clearly, Sprinkle’s indie-rock meets power pop sensibilities gelled well with Seven Places’ pre-existing sound on the disc’s eleven choice cuts, which are loaded with electric urgency, towering crescendos, and a hint of the alternative underground, designated to please listeners of various genre interests. Tyler sums up the band’s approach to writing by saying, “I strive for honesty, and I realize a lot of other songwriters do the same thing, but sometimes they don’t point to anything eternal in the end. It’s fine to share your feelings in really emotional and expressive manners, but in the end thoughts have to be brought back to the Lord.”
Specifically, songs like “Stay the Same” (an ode to self-esteem); “Thinking It Over” (about making difficult life choices) and “Yours” (revolving worshipful adoration) echo such sentiments, as does the anthemic title cut about finding identity in Christ. The punchy radio ready rocker “Like It Never Happened” is a plea for listeners to forget their sinful past, while “Western Wall” was inspired by Seth’s recent trip to Israel. “I gained a new love and appreciation for all of the history of Israel and the Jewish people,” he explains. “But I also saw the community weakened and really struggling by depressing economic times. I wrote ‘Western Wall’ in response to that situation as an encouragement to those feeling dry in their walk with the Lord.”
Beyond any hit single, a spot on any coveted tour, or the quest for longevity, Seven Places’ members would rather focus on the ministering elements of such songs. Unlike some bands with Christian members who get their start on the spiritual scene in hopes of crossing over to the mainstream, Seven Places’ specifically strives to edify the body of Christ and revive hurting listeners’ faith. “We’re about presenting a faith that is real and relevant to young people that have grown up in the church and we’re hear to remind them that this isn’t just their parents’ God,” Seth concludes. “It’s about getting a message of hope to those that have been burnt out in their walk and getting them back on track.”

Seven Places Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Those big black clouds look like they're going to exlode
I made this boat for us to ride until the storm goes away
I'll give you three reasins why it's time to be afraid
One, I've never sailed before
Two, never navigated a storm
Three, I look so small compared to all of these waves.
I will see the rain go away, see the rainbow
The light of blue is bursting through the grey and
I will hear the thunder roll away
I am seasick as lay limp across this rail
Nowhere to go but here and I feel like I am in jail
We've been here forty days and nites
Over this one window we fight
And now I hear Him give three reasons why not to complain
One, He didn't let me drown
Two, not a single leak was found
Three, we just got evidence we're headed for some solid ground.
[Chorus]
The night is followed, the night is swallowed by the day
The night is followed, the night is swallowed by the day.
The song "See The Rain" by Seven Places is a powerful and introspective ballad about facing difficult times and overcoming them with hope and faith. In the opening verse, the imagery of an approaching storm is used to create a sense of danger and uncertainty. The singer reveals that he has made a makeshift boat and invites a companion to join him in weathering the storm. However, he admits that he is not experienced at sailing, navigating through a storm or in contrast to the enormity of the waves, he feels small.
The chorus of the song is where the message of hope is conveyed. The singer declares that he will "see the rain go away" and "see the rainbow." He is confident that things will get better and that even amidst the storm, there is light breaking through. The second verse continues with the sea voyage metaphor and the singer reveals his own physical discomfort and feelings of being trapped. However, he recounts the reasons why he should not complain, including the fact that he was saved from drowning, the boat did not leak and they were likely headed to solid ground.
Overall, "See the Rain" is a song that acknowledges the harsh realities of life and the difficulties that we all face. Nonetheless, it serves as a powerful reminder that we are not alone in our struggles and that there is hope to be found even in the midst of storms.

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah!
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Você Alguma Vez Viu a Chuva?
Alguém me falou há muito tempo
Que há uma calmaria antes da tempestade
Eu sei, vem vindo há algum tempo
Dizem que quando terminar
Choverá num dia ensolarado
Eu sei, brilhando como água
Eu quero saber, você alguma vez viu a chuva?
Eu quero saber, você alguma vez viu a chuva
Caindo em um dia ensolarado?
Ontem e alguns dias atrás
O Sol era frio e a chuva era forte
Eu sei, foi assim por toda minha vida
Até a eternidade, será sempre assim
Através do ciclo, rápido e devagar
Eu sei, isso não pode acabar, imagino
Eu quero saber, você alguma vez viu a chuva?
Eu quero saber, você alguma vez viu a chuva
Caindo em um dia ensolarado?
Sim
Eu quero saber, você alguma vez viu a chuva?
Eu quero saber, você alguma vez viu a chuva
Caindo em um dia ensolarado?

Creedence Clearwater Revival was one the 70's best rock hands. I love their music. It gives me great memories of my younger years.
