Chocolate Rain

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

This has somehow gotten more than 2.5 MILLION hits on YouTube, and spawned a whole slew of parodies. Apparently the guy's gonna be the musical guest on Letterman this Friday.

This video was on the news this morning in Chicago. I heard a little bit of it and I'll admit it stuck in my head for the first 15 minutes after hearing it, and then I promptly forgot the melody. It's really repetative, though.

[PalestineMyHeart 1,897]

Just in case the video isn't ####### enough.... here are the lyrics:

Chocolate Rain

Some stay dry and others feel the pain

Chocolate Rain

A baby born will die before the sin

Chocolate Rain

The school books say it can't be here again

Chocolate Rain

The prisons make you wonder where it went

Chocolate Rain

Build a tent and say the world is dry

Chocolate Rain

Zoom the camera out and see the lie

Chocolate Rain

Forecast to be falling yesterday

Chocolate Rain

Only in the past is what they say

Chocolate Rain

Raised your neighborhood insurance rates

Chocolate Rain

Makes us happy 'livin in a gate

Chocolate Rain

Made me cross the street the other day

Chocolate Rain

Made you turn your head the other way

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain

History quickly crashing through your veins

Chocolate Rain

Using you to fall back down again

[Repeat]

Chocolate Rain

Seldom mentioned on the radio

Chocolate Rain

Its the fear your leaders call control

Chocolate Rain

Worse than swearing worse than calling names

Chocolate Rain

Say it publicly and you're insane

Chocolate Rain

No one wants to hear about it now

Chocolate Rain

Wish real hard it goes away somehow

Chocolate Rain

Makes the best of friends begin to fight

Chocolate Rain

But did they know each other in the light?

Chocolate Rain

Every February washed away

Chocolate Rain

Stays behind as colors celebrate

Chocolate Rain

The same crime has a higher price to pay

chocolate Rain

The judge and jury swear it's not the face

(Chorus)

Chocolate Rain

Dirty secrets of economy

Chocolate Rain

Turns that body into GDP

Chocolate Rain

The bell curve blames the baby's DNA

Chocolate Rain

But test scores are how much the parents make

Chocolate Rain

'Flippin cars in France the other night

Chocolate Rain

Cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai

Chocolate Rain

'Cross the world and back its all the same

Chocolate Rain

Angels cry and shake their heads in shame

Chocolate Rain

Lifts the ark of paradise in sin

Chocolate Rain

Which part do you think you're 'livin in?

Chocolate Rain

More than 'marchin more than passing law

Chocolate Rain

Remake how we got to where we are

Hersey's Kisses...melted.

[Mags 112]

I'll admit I couldn't listen to more than 2 minutes as the repetitive nature of it was doing my head in.

Well, that IS the question.

Many lyricists as well as poets don't like having to 'tell' people what they mean with their work. There's a great deal of subjectivity within art.

I agree. A lot of people respond to art that isn't straight forward with, "I don't get it," and then dismiss it as artsy fartsy.
