A Day Without Rain

As promised this is the first of our “song” blogs, and as many of you have added this particular song to your profiles, which incidentally makes us deliriously happy, we decided it would be the best song to start with. So if you want to know a little more about A DAY without RAIN, then keep on reading.

We composed the song in October 2004, and ever since has always been one of our own personal favorites for many reasons. Firstly, because it was a hugely difficult time for both of us, struggling, with separate issues on different sides of the Atlantic, KMP’s music was reflective and at times torturously sad, but colored by moments of soaring spirit, not to mention anger, frustration, and a healthy dose of sexual tension, as is his way. It was always going to be something of an epic.

We decided, and not without some wily persuasion on my part :), to include some KMP Armenian spoken word in the song. It’s a beautiful language to listen to, and as he tells me much more passionate than English, so I felt it well placed in this emotional roller coaster of a song. So KMP fans should especially enjoy this one as he effortlessly seduces everyone in a few words where I have to sing my heart out for the same effect!

In the intro he speaks and I echo his words in English, but in the bridge section, well I’ll be honest I can’t remember for the life of me the English translation of his words, so if you want to know you’ll have to ask him. Whatever it is it sounds very appealing.

Within the lyrics I attempted to capture all the emotions I was hearing laid out before me, and there were so many, but fundamentally this is a song about hope…about dreams and about never giving up because however bad it seems.. it can never rain forever. You hold out your hand to offer support and comfort…or in my case I sing, and then I sing again and then some more until we got the effect of a soaring angelic wave of sound to echo the words of the chorus… “I can save you let me save you, all you have to do is lie back and listen”
