Nothing ever stays: Nèbla and bittersweet romance
With a melancholic vibe paired with a surprisingly light-footed beat, Nèbla create an interesting tension in their new song ‘Standing In The Rain’. It is precisely this mixture that conveys an almost bittersweet message and immediately draws the listener into an atmospheric scene. The chorus in particular immediately strikes a chord with me and, thanks to its catchiness, sticks in my mind relatively quickly.
With a running time of 02:55, the song is very well timed and seems perfectly structured to me. In fact, the song seems even shorter when you listen to it, as there are simply no unnecessary lengths here. It's a compact synth pop track that, despite the band's dark roots, retains a certain romantic lightness and leaves the words ‘Just hold me’ echoing long after.

Lyrics of "Nèbla – Standing In The Rain"
You were laughing and I was low again
So I walked through the crowd alone
All the faces were flashing holiday
Then your words cut across the noise
Standing in the rain, you told me
"Nothing ever stays, just hold me"
Standing in the rain, you told me
"Just hold me"
It's been years and this scene still hits me
Like a film with the sound turned off each time
In the dark, I relive some miracle
When your words cut across the pointless noise
Standing in the rain, you told me
"Nothing ever stays, just hold me"
Standing in the rain, you told me
"Just hold me"
When your words cut across the noise
Standing in the rain, you told me
"Nothing ever stays, just hold me"
Standing in the rain, you told me
"Just hold me"
