When It Rains. Edit source History Talk 0. I was in my bathroom recording a voice memo for my friend, Daniel James, who I wrote the song with. This song is like if my year-old self finally got to write lyrics and say things she really needed to say, but it took me until I was 30 to do it. This song felt like pulling a very deep splinter out.
This song is mostly about my friend Brian. We both went through divorces in the same year. I felt cheesy writing these lyrics. I had to access a dark part of myself in order to write this super positive song. All three members of boygenius — Phoebe Bridgers , Julien Baker , and Lucy Dacus —sing backup vocals on this song, an impressionistic ode to womanhood. I was so honored. They are three really important women in our music scene that are telling truths in unique ways.
I really wanted to write poetically about being a woman and relating to other women, especially being in an industry in which women are pitted against each other a lot, even still.
It was a mindfuck. This is a song about me discovering just how powerful and profound the connection is between myself and other women in my life. Growing up in such a male-dominated music scene—especially on Warped Tour, where it was so easy to internalize the misogyny that was everywhere—was there a moment when you felt like your feminist consciousness was coming into focus?
Oh man, it was a slow burn. First I had to realize how deep I had internalized all of this stuff. I had a very cool experience as a teenager. That being said, there were also dark moments. I got condoms thrown at me, and people yelled awful things from the crowd. And just playing harder and better than I thought any of the other guys on the tour would. I just tried to be the best. I tried not to let any of that other shit slow me down.
I am now able to be a little bit more gentle with myself, and it just makes me feel like a more connected, stronger person. So Joey went with me to Guitar Center, and we met up with our rep that helps Paramore before tours. That was a pivotal moment for me.
I felt really lonely. I had been super sabotage-y in my personal life as I was trying to start over after my divorce. In ways, it was part of the catalyst for some of my healing, because I had to understand why I would do this.
It took a lot of therapy and a lot of conversations with my mom to try to understand what my earliest experiences of love were. This has so much to do with me overcoming my fear of intimacy and learning new ways to connect with someone, trying so hard to let myself experience discomfort as a human being in order to grow. I was very happy to have that.
But I have hope that I can get there. Two individual people trying to come together—how the fuck do we do that? And I believe I can be one of those people. What kind of song are we making? Being a musician, we have access to this massive home and we can either stay in one room and be comfortable, or we can continue to find new doorways and go in and figure out what that room brings out of us.
For me, trying to stay humble and keeping yourself uncomfortable in the right ways is the secret to staying curious and creative. You sing about feeling lucky to be in your body again—do you remember the beginning of that feeling? Part of it was getting my cycle back. My body was just a foreign concept to me for a while, so feeling biologically connected to myself again was powerful. This is crazy. I have this thing where I love Mondays. I love January 1st.

Even "when it rains" suggests, to me, when a person is sad: rain is like a person's tears, of course. The phrase "when it rains, on this side of town it touches everything" to me means that when her friend is sad, it affects other people too.
Add your reply. This song about a friend of hers who committed suicide. With the words "say it again and mean it, we don't miss a thing", it's basically like saying "do you honestly believe we wouldn't miss you? I almost cry every time I hear this song.
She's telling them to turn it around, get the help they need before it's too late. Bless your heart you make me smile. To me it's about a friend who committed suicide "take these chances to turn it around" "i never saw it coming"she blames herself for not knowing and wanting to help. And "when it rains you always find an escape.. Well as for me, I guess. She was really in pain and wanted to escape it so bad.
She also wanted to know what happened to them and she was asking for an answer. She never thought that the day would come so fast, that everything's gonna end in a jiffy. But she's still hopeful that everything will be alright in time. They just need to take time to heal when time comes that they'll be back in each other arms again: l So much like my case, fukkin' A.
I think the 'rain' means tears. So 'when it rains, on this side of town it touches everything' it means that everyone finds out. I think this song is about self-harming and the person just found out and wants to help, as Paramore are close to twloha.
I love this song! This is about her friend that suicided. When he suicided it affected everyone, just say it again and mean it, the friend is joking around with suicide but means it more than they realize. They don't miss a thing, he hid away from his troubles and life, convincing himself that's not the reason hes not going out. She never saw his suicide coming even though he joked about it, she wants him to stay long enough to explain why. When bad things happen he always runs away from the people who love him.
Hides in his hole. Take your time to explain as long as you need. We'll make it somehow. I think that this song is about hayley's friend telling her that she is going to commit suicide. When she says, 'say it again and mean it'.
I think she's asking her friend if she really means it. In the chorus, she sings, 'how could you do it?
