Edge Of Paradise - 'Love, Reign o'er Me' (The Who cover)

Only love can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers laying in the fields

[Chorus]
Love reign o'er me
Rain o'er me
Love reign o'er me
Rain o'er me
Rain o'er me

Only love can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high

[Chorus]
Love reign o'er me
Rain o'er me
Rain o'er me, rain o'er me
Love reign o'er me
Rain o'er me
Rain o'er me, rain o'er me

[Bridge]
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can't sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain

[Chorus]
Love reign o'er me
Rain over me, over me, over me
Oh, love reign o'er me
O'er me

Με διασκευή αποχαιρετούν το 2021 οι Edge Of Paradise. Αφορά στην προσέγγισή της στο τραγούδι των Who "Love, Reign o'er Me". Σύνθεση του Pete Townshend, την οποία γνωρίσαμε μέσα από την rock opera "Quadrophenia" που κυκλοφόρησε το φθινόπωρο του 1973 ("βγήκε" και αυτόνομα ως single).

Ο Pete Townshend είχε πει για το τραγούδι στην επίσημη ιστοσελίδα του συγκροτήματος:

«It refers to Meher Baba's one time comment that rain was a blessing from God; that thunder was God's Voice. It's another plea to drown, only this time in the rain. Jimmy goes through a suicide crisis. He surrenders to the inevitable, and you know, you know, when it's over and he goes back to town he'll be going through the same shit, being in the same terrible family situation and so on, but he's moved up a level. He's weak still, but there's a strength in that weakness. He's in danger of maturing.»

Οι Edge Of Paradise μας έρχονται από το Λος Άντζελες. Συγκρότημα μελωδικού metal με γυναικεία φωνητικά, το οποίο σχηματίσθηκε προ δεκαετίας κι έχει κυκλοφορήσει τέσσερα full length albums (με πιο πρόσφατο το "The Unknown" που βγήκε τον περασμένο Σεπτέμβρη, δύο EPs και αρκετά singles...
