With its catchy rhymes and sweet-sounding cello, “Rainmaker” is an upbeat song about all the things that get you down. Its bright sound matches the early springtime energy, but its melancholic lyrics are relatable for anyone who feels like everything is too much.
The song was produced by Tancrede Rouff in London and mixed by Ian Kimmel.

LYRICS:
Rainmaker
See ya later
There’ll be hell to pay If I ever face ya
I’ll take one right now and the second later
And then I will be on my best behavior
Betty she's a-plenty but she's not all there
In the meadow like an angel with revenge in her stare
Will you do us both a favor give your problems to me
I’ll push the ruminating down to half past three
You’re the bearer of the crown
I think you should keep it
All this data gets me down
If you can believe it
It’s a long trip to the ground
So tell me your secret
All this data gets me down
And you can all feel it
Rainmaker
See you later
It’s my turn to play in the echo chamber
I can’t live in the future
You can’t live in the past
We’ll live in the glass
And the aftermath
Let me hear the prophecy of unchecked thrills
Robbery debauchery and unmarked bills
Don’t feel like waking up to all this shit anymore
In the wrong apartment with the right front door
You’re the bearer of the crown
I think you should keep it
All this data gets me down
If you can believe it
It’s a long trip to the ground
So tell me your secret
All this data gets me down
And you can all feel it
