The Indie Pop single “Last Dance in the Rain” has thought provoking lyrics, about the loss of someone due to symptoms that effect memory. This is a very heartfelt song, evoking intense emotions for people affected by dementia, as well as the friends and family around them, who see the changes in personality due to the illness. It tells the story of the loss of the mind before the body and the hope that although they are not with us in mind the hope that they are happy, dancing in the rain.
Lyrics
Last Dance in the Rain
Keep me awake
Pray my soul the lord to take
I can almost feel the breeze
Blowing gently through the leaves
Those stubborn trees they never bend
The broken boughs they never mend
She don’t remember any more
Just a part of growing old
Don’t remember or recall
A saddened face did long since fall
Sometimes they come but she’s not there
In merely playgrounds deep within a stare
Does she remember if we laughed or cried
I feel all that has left her mind
Maybe she’s dancing in the rain
She don’t remember any more
Just a part of growing old
Don’t remember or recall
A saddened face did long since fall
Don’t remember any more
Just a part of growing old
Don’t remember or recall
A saddened face did long since fall
Send me to sleep
Pray my soul to take
It never rains outside she said
Now she’s ‘neath the flowerbeds
Silently they close the door
Watch the rain come down
It pours
