Raining in Athens Lyrics
this songs is so depressing and sad... hauntingly beautiful though like many of Azure Ray's songs. Beautiful imagery.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded....just the very first few bars quite literally send shivers down my spine, it's one of those songs that just washes over you and....god it's amazing. It's always reminded me of an old boyfriend, pretty much because it sums it up perfectly, even to the fact that we ended in a November and for the next year or so it was like it was constantly raining. Ahh what an amazing song.
This song turns me into a wreck, every single time. I agree with armageddon, total shivers.
this is the prettiest azure ray song............i fucking hate it:(((((((
one of my all time favorites..and that says alot. pure poetry, no explaining, just brilliant words
whats the significance of Athens?
I believe Maria Taylor or someone in the band grew up near or in Athens, some maybe they just used the name. I don't really know the significance though.
athens, georgia referenced in many of azure ray's songs, as well as in "southern state" by conor oberst, who iirc had/has a relationship with maria taylor
athens is where maria and orenda moved after they got a record contract. maria still lives there...
