about

About FIRST RAIN: This one started off as an instrumental only. Hugo Flores added his soaring vocals and additional lyrics later. This is what late November feels like in Sintra. This is our promised land. I think I managed to use the Delay Lama for more than just silliness.

lyrics

And all of a sudden the first
hard rain hits cedar and beech,
the last crimson flame of Autumn

It quenches, whips the soil into drains,
Hurls chestnuts down the mossy trunks,
and drowns ripe grains.
When the forest flattens under the brunt
The air is sea, a crushing hand

Then widen your eyes, breathe on your skin
The season of the soul is bidding you in.

The rain has ceased, there's light on the earth
The forest is breathing its loam-clad birth of
Autumn, carpets of fog wash low over roots
Through cold bracken and pearl from my boots.

It's been a long night
