Get in get in the way of for forward moving time Tying yourself along the tracks of a moving train Come on come on we know what will happen Come on come on we know that we cannot Try to stop a train You know you know you know there is no ending decay All the all the old behaviors won’t be coming back Come on come on we know they are ancient Come on come on don’t count on the undead to Try to stop the rain Try to stop the rain from falling Go and tell the tide to roll back Talking to the moon about waning Try to stop the rain Giving a fire oxygen Caught in a tornado Livin’ in a hurricane Looking up at a tsunami Telling to the world not to quake never ever shake Try to command a volcano never to erupt Come on come on we know how the world Come on come on don’t tell us you’re gonna try to stop the rain Come on come on we know what will happen Come on come on we know that we cannot try to stop the rain

about

"Stop The Rain" is about accepting the things we cannot change, and moving on from old behaviors.

Lyrics:

Get in get in the way of for forward moving time
Tying yourself along the tracks of a moving train
Come on come on we know what will happen
Come on come on we know that we cannot
Try to stop a train

You know you know you know there is no ending decay
All the all the old behaviors won’t be coming back
Come on come on we know they are ancient
Come on come on don’t count on the undead to
Try to stop the rain

Try to stop the rain from falling
Go and tell the tide to roll back
Talking to the moon about waning
Try to stop the rain

Giving a fire oxygen
Caught in a tornado
Livin’ in a hurricane
Looking up at a tsunami
Telling to the world not to quake never ever shake
Try to command a volcano never to erupt

Come on come on we know how the world
Come on come on don’t tell us you’re gonna try to stop the rain

Come on come on we know what will happen
Come on come on we know that we cannot try to stop the rain

Tell Me Tell Me Oakland, California

Tell Me Tell Me is a dance grunge band from Oakland. Yearning melodies soar over melted guitar riffs and driving, danceable drum beats. The music celebrates loss at points of no return, and Tell Me Tell Me leads the ceremony.
Influences can be heard from LCD Soundsystem, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Dirty Projectors.
