| Israel Nash – Rain Plans Lyrics | 8 years ago |

This great song was included in the captain fantastic movie sound track- fitting perfectly into a scene where Viggo mortenson is driving the empty bus back from the father in laws house without his children with him. Is a beautiful scene driving through the desert country Viggo weeping at his loss, the death of his wife, and the uncertain future that lay ahead of him. The song style is reminiscent of Neil young in the riffs and vocals, but lyrics are not as well measured with imagery and meaning. I assume rain plans are your plan B when things are not going right. The storm refers to some kind of crisis or event that has forced the subject to resort to his rain plan which involved leaving the situation with his woman. But at the end of the song it sounds like he leaves her behind " I've got new hands that point which way to go" I am disappointed there was not more to the story- maybe Israel can write another song to follow up. |

Correction: second line verse 2: "flying like a screaming falcon, only way to do each other" Now that I cleared that up the song is about drug addiction and compares the attraction and compulsion to use drugs to having a dysfunctional sexual relationship with a lover. The singer appears as the goddess of addiction in awesome form -sexual, beckoning -larger than life and all powerful. She is metaphor for drug addiction. She calls out to a potential lover who has come to her because is is experiencing the pain of love lost, she recognizes his pain and offers him relief and something better than human love- something godlike "suck me up I'm healing for the shit you're dealing" The analogy of drug addiction to female nurturing and love is brilliant, she can offer the same sense of well being and relief, refuge from reality "give me two weeks you won't even recognize her" Her body becomes a pipe, the vessel: she opens her thighs and beckons him between her legs to Breathe in the smoke. The neurochemistry of love and drugs are almost the same- opiates and dopamine release in the brain whether you take a hit- or have an orgasm. We are forever addicted...and doomed, |
