"No Rain" - Blind Melon
This song reminds me of standing in a grocery store parking lot with my old best friend. It was sprinkling, but we didn't care. Our school wanted to raise funds and made a deal with a chain of grocery stores to match their donation to whatever their customers' spent within a given time frame. Seemed easy enough, but it was a challenge because in order to do so, customers must be willing to surrender their receipts at the time of purchase to someone who'd be willing enough to walk up to them and ask for it. We were that someone and on that fateful night, we collected bags upon bags of receipts. And as the rain kept coming down, we just stood there, clutching onto a single umbrella, singing this song to keep warm. We were determined like little helper bees on a mission. Maybe they thought we were just some crazy kids with nothing better to do, but the great part about it was that we set out to do something and didn't quit until it was done.
Lyrics:
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
I like watchin the puddles gather rain
And all I can do is just pour some tea for two
And speak my point of view but it's not sane, its not sane
I just want someone to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
It rips my life away but its a great escape...escape...escape
All I can say is that my life is pretty plain
You don't like my point of view
Ya think that I'm insane
Its not sane... its not sane
I just want someone to say to me
I'll always be there when you wake
Ya know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today
So stay with me and I'll have it made
