Strings and raspy, evocative vocals lead us with passion and heartfelt contemplation, through the rising energy and gratitude of Benjamin Andrews’ brand new single Through The Rain.
Building up beautifully, with electric guitar fragments akin to the driving ballads of the nineties, Through The Rain consistently elevates the central emotion of its writing and performance, to deliver a song designed to shine light on the possibilities that lie ahead. It’s a track celebrating unity and positivity in the face of darkness and struggle, and that optimism stands tall increasingly as the song rolls along.
Following a brief hiatus, Benjamin Andrews returns with what he describes as one of his favourite songs to date. His passion was to capture the raw human energy of live performance, in the face of such a dramatic rise in AI production. The lyrics are profoundly personal, the music genuine and organic, and as such, the single makes for a beautifully rewarding listen.
Set up in three parts, as per Benjamin’s influence from the iconic David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), the post-four-minute work Through The Rain is all at once nostalgic and original as it pours through with a growing sense of brightness and power.
The ideas resound amidst a gorgeous arrangement, the voice distinct and authentic, and by the final third, the central hook melody resounds and repeats as a humble but effective earworm; one that lingers alongside the heightened emotion and energy presented by the music.
