about

"‘Barefoot In The Rain’ is a sonically stunning song sitting at number seven. Sweeping violin lines set the tone as Adrian’s striking singing takes the reigns and carries the hypnotic hook. The breakdown, met around 2:30, is incredible. It’s striking, sonically satisfying and impeccably executed." Skope Magazine.

"On songs such as “Barefoot In The Rain,” one of the most notable moments on the album, the artist set out to explore a very intimate, yet diverse blend of indie-folk, tipping the hat off to artists such as Bright Eyes or even legendary songwriters like Bob Dylan, among others." The Bandcamp Diaries.

lyrics

Barefoot In The Rain

There's a rumor that it was all meant to be
But that's the same thing that I heard last week
There's nothing that I wouldn't do for you
But I know that's exactly what I shouldn't do

I never wanted to be just your friend
And I never knew how long this would last
Longing love it's a blinding faith
While she's running barefoot in the rain

The clouds are all covered and the wind has sailed
The water has drowned and the cross is nailed
It's all a little too much to ask
To stop our love and never look back

I never wanted to be just your friend
And I never knew how long this would last
Longing love it's a blinding faith
While she's running barefoot in the rain
I just couldn't keep my heart in a cage
While she's running barefoot in the rain
I just couldn't keep my heart in a cage
While she's running barefoot in the rain

She's a kitten named monkey in a doggy dog world
While I'm just a dumb trained mocking bird
There's too many things that I've got to say
Just a moment round you seems to change everything

I never wanted to be just your friend
And I didn't know how long this would last
Longing love is a blinding faith
While she's running barefoot in the rain
I just couldn't keep my heart in a cage
While she's running barefoot in the rain
I just couldn't keep my heart in a cage
While she's running barefoot in the rain
