Intro 00:28
2.
Daydreaming 03:12
moving in slow motion is like living underwater loving in the rain and breathing in the air sitting in the sun on an ice cold morning running late again I need more minutes in the day from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the hill the water runs like a river and the gutters and drains they fill and in the cracks in the pavement overgrown now with moss the rain softly whispers be still now be still
3.
Autumn 03:28
I missed my stop and the suns going down there's clouds overhead on the outskirts of town and under the eaves there's no one around and the bright red leaves are falling to the ground with my scarf round my neck its the first day of autumn I look at my shadow and I look at the hills and the sunset glows its giving me chills
4.
reaching for my shadow the sun gets in my eyes wish I knew what happened wish I knew why wish I knew what happened
5.
Raindrops 02:56
sleeping in the back yard you pray It doesn't rain you wake up with the sun and make daisy chains the trees above your head are full of technicolour birds they sing a song for you and it doesn't go unheard you swim in the ocean and you walk on the sand and the rain settles in as you look down at your hands sometimes I forget but right now I remember sitting around reading your letter and we could talk for hours and you could dry your tears like the sun dries the raindrops when you wake up I'll be here
6.
Avalanche 03:21
she snuck out late at night against her mother's best advice. our world's a scary place she said when you stare into its face the moon was full and gleaming and its light fell through the leaves and she could breathe in the cool air and she could hear the forest singing and as she walked through the leaves there were fireflies around her she held her arms up high and she saw beauty with her own eyes
7.
Carnations 02:42
oh, rest your weary eyes, my darling, for night is the ship that carries us till dawn. and in its wake there's a calm that lets us see the world as if the sun and the rain were all at once the same
8.

between the clouds the sun broke through the light caught my eye and it coloured our room the sun rose high and the flowers bloomed the sun in the sky it was beautiful the storm passed resolution it was clear at last in the soft light of morning the sun set down and we looked at the stars and we fell asleep, drifting, until the morning found us

about

In March 2017 I released an album called Venus, which was my most ambient, dreamy record to date. Most of that album is instrumental,
and that is mostly for two reasons; I was focusing more on textures coming out of my guitar than my voice and I didn't like any of the lyrics
I was writing. I went looking for inspiration and I found it in poetry. I was blown away by poets like William Blake, T.S. Eliot, and Rabindranath Tagore. I started writing more and more of my own poems in a little notebook, and the ideas from that book eventually became the The Sun and the Rain.

The Sun and the Rain is a very important album for me. I found a lot of joy in making it and I couldn't be happier with how it ended up. I feel like I can finally write music the way I want, and I hold all these songs very close to my heart. When I got around to recording, the words lent themselves to quieter and more acoustic sounds, so I played most of the album on Scoob's acoustic guitar (I didn't have my own one at the time).
