The Spoiled – When It Rains

When the rain becomes a dance floor

I got stuck on this cool dark wave/cold wave track, which works with an incred­ible amount of atmo­sphere. The Spoiled weaves the syn­thes­iser sounds subtly but very clearly into the sound struc­ture here and there. What par­tic­u­larly grabs me is that, des­pite its heav­i­ness, the track moves for­ward at a good tempo. It's this per­fect blend of depth and dynam­ics that imme­di­ately made me want to dance mel­an­chol­ic­ally.

Giovanni Santolla man­ages to make the feel­ing of ‘Sundown in me’ so tan­gible, while lit­er­ally pulling me into the blue. A power­ful piece of Italian dark­ness that strikes just the right bal­ance between harsh per­cus­sion and eth­er­e­al melancholy.

Lyrics of "The Spoiled – When It Rains"

Sometimes oceans ain’t that deep
Lay down, close your eyes with me
A mil­lion dif­fer­ent voices pass me by
The sor­row you leave me when you’re not here
When it rains
Sometimes I need a stranger’s bed
And then I’ll dig an angel’s grave
A mil­lion dif­fer­ent people pass me by
And now I know you hurt your­self again
There was sun­rise in you
There is sun­down in me
On and on, shot your­self and said “This one’s for you”
When it rains, save me from the ghosts I will not leave
Sometimes I dive (in anoth­er time)
Somewhere then I (wish I could have saved you)
On and on, shot your­self and said “This one’s for you”
When it rains, close my eyes and drag me into the blue
