about

Boom bap with a lofi feel. I was inspired by Whispering Grass by The Ink Spots.

lyrics

Yo, you hear the whispers in the rain
The droplets might be different but the puddles are the same
The fog is slightly thicker but the buildings are in frame
The lights are still a flicker and the darkness doesn’t change
In the park there’s still a swing with a dirty rusted chain
And a row of benches carved up with puppy lover names
Fear the Duppy, come again
The boom box is dead but the soul will still remain
There’s a rhythm found in every sound the ear looks to obtain
Let it run wild... not every beast must be tamed
Scuffed Timbs and mud stains
The images conveyed are slightly different than explained
When reality and dreams come together we attain
Synchronicity and harmony, enlightenment ordained
There’s a place beyond the symmetry outside of the mundane
And the diamond shines brighter when it’s covered in the rain

When it’s covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when they covered in the rain
Let the water wash clean all rubble that remains
And the diamond shines brighter when it’s covered in the rain
When it’s covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when they covered in the rain
Let the water wash clean all rubble that remains
And the diamond shines brighter when it’s covered in the rain

You hear the rumors in the wind
The trees don’t flow, but you feel it on your skin
You immortalize the image with the movement of the pen
And the ink stays still but the stain is on your hands
Getting caught up in the moment isn't ever in the plan
Side steppin from the path changes where you're gonna land
But that "what ifs" and the "maybe" doesn't matter in the end
There's a pattern to the randomness and passion where you stand
Let the tides rise up and clean the footprints in the sand
Overthinking, overlooking, overflow of the expanse
The dream's no different than a trance
Risk only matters if you see it as a chance
There's a fine line between reminiscing and romance
Don't play victim to the wishes of the people in the stands
Save your ticket for a rainy day and use it to advance
There's a shimmer in the diamond that the rain will enhance

When it’s covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when they covered in the rain
Let the water wash clean all rubble that remains
And the diamond shines brighter when it’s covered in the rain
When it’s covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when they covered in the rain
Let the water wash clean all rubble that remains
And the diamond shines brighter when it’s covered in the rain

When it's covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when they covered in the rain
When it's covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when it's covered in the rain
When it's covered in the rain
The diamond shines brighter when it's covered in the rain
Let the water wash clean all the rubble that remains
And the diamond shines brighter when it's covered in the
Rain
