about

This song was written around the first Extinction Rebellion street occupations earlier this year for my monthly songwriting residency on Chiara Ambrosio's 'RAFT - A London Story' on Resonance FM (raftalondonstory.com). All sales of this track will go to the good fight of the main XR UK fundraiser (chuffed.org/project/extinctionrebellion). Thanks for listening.

lyrics

Rain

Beautiful Animals, sleeping
Beautiful Animals, unwaking
Rain has gathered on your eyelids
It's time to say goodnight

Beautiful Animals, floating
Beautiful Animals, sinking
The storm has passed
Sunset inside

Beautiful Animals, dreaming
Beautiful Animals, unbreathing
Rain has gathered on your eyelids
It's time to say
Goodnight
