Haven't heard this in a while.
Listening to this song for the first time in a long time, I can't help but look at my window at New York City in the darkness of early morning and instead see the sun rising over Rockville Centre. I think of all the nights over summer, when I'd work during the day, be with friends doing whatever at night and then come home to this, a true constant.
And every night (or morning I guess) when I could see the sky turning blue and the morning paper already on the front lawn, I'd know it was time to close my curtains and simulate some darkness in my room to sleep in. Even if I was dead tired, watching the light creep through the blinds and into my room as this song came on from my "Sleep" playlist I couldn't help but find myself completely awake again.
It's funny; because no matter what happens from here on while listening to "Let It Rain", nothing will overtake the happy memories I had of simply lying still and letting it play while I watched the world outside rotate and a new day begin.
