Risin' Through the Rain

Tempest Rae

Soul

About

This soul track pulses with syncopated bass grooves and punchy horn accents that punctuate the raw, emotive vocal runs during the soaring chorus. Call-and-response patterns in the pre-chorus and bridge build a gospel-infused energy, backed by warm Hammond organ swells and a tight live band rhythm section evoking Stax-era grit. Analog tape saturation and natural reverb give it a vintage, heartfelt depth, driving the theme of heartbreak and triumphant resilience over 210 seconds.

Lyrics

Oh, darling, hold on tight Through the storm tonight Woke up to an empty bed, shadows on the wall Heart heavy like the rain that won't stop falling You walked away with pieces of my soul Left me wandering in the cold But I feel it rising deep within my chest A fire that won't die putting me to the test Oh, love, why'd you break me down? Tears like rivers drowning in this town But I'll rise again, stronger than before Soul on fire, walking through the door Yeah, I'll rise up Nights alone, praying for a sign Memories haunt me like a twisted vine Gave you all I had now I'm just a shell But mercy's calling ringing like a bell I hear it calling pulling me from the dark Mending what's broken, lighting up the spark Oh, love, why'd you break me down? Tears like rivers drowning in this town But I'll rise again, stronger than before Soul on fire, walking through the door Yeah, I'll rise No more chains, no more pain Holding me, freedom song Setting my spirit free One step, then another Feel the heal, love will come back Make it real Oh, love, why'd you break me down? Tears like rivers drowning in this town But I'll rise again, stronger than before Soul on fire, walking through the door Yeah, I'll rise Rise up, rise up Rise up, rise up Rise up, darling Rise up, rise up high So redeemed Touching the sky Oh, rise Thanks for watching!
