Unexpected, not sure why I wouldn't think to hear this on RP, but I definitely didn't....

I don't know about the lyrics, but this just doesn't fit in RP's lineup. It's just too direct and begs for sympathy. I know dozens of stations that play this ho-hummy stuff non-stop.

Ever heard of poetic licence? Similes? Metaphors? Moron. Oh, and there's no word "stupidest" - the comparative is "most stupid". Personally I think it's a sweet sentiment, but I suspect that the sort of emotions yer woman's singing about are beyond your comprehension. |

This song always made me think of very specific failed relationships: I had a couple of relationships with women where we saw each other only briefly, frequently and intensely. It was also never clear if the last encounter was the final one or not. Would I ever see her again? I always though yeah, that's probably how the desert feels about the rain. I can extend the metaphor quite a bit further.
Thank you my friend - I share similar sentiment in a parallel universe (hopefully not the same girls!) |

But - but - grasslands missing the rain will become deserts if the rain stays away long enough! Seriously, we're overthinking this one.
In any case: it's a great song, one of my all time faves.

I've always liked it when the bass reenters past the halfway mark.
