Come you hard rain
Wash the grit and grief away
All these shuttered days
Of losses borne alone
Come on you hard rain
Grow up the grass until the sidewalks break
And let in April light
Grow the grass until we’re rolling in it
Roll
Come you hard rain
If it stings, all the better
Now you’ve got my full attention
All the better
To drown the chatter
Come on you hard rain
Grow up the grass until the sidewalks break
And up pours April light
Grow the grass until we’re rolling in it
Roll
Come you hard rain
Take what you need, just bring relief
Bless me, I am clean
Bless you, and I set you free
Come on you hard rain
Up grows the grass
Until we’re rolling in it
Until the sidewalks break

like the best lyrically driven bands from the 90s, stripping Belly down to their elements only serves to make their impact that much more poignant. Like the sundays' Harriet Wheeler, Tanya's vocals have a way of cutting through the gloom, illuminating ever greater depths. For the fans, no doubt, as we enjoy a new taste with old friends... but also for someone looking to discover, as well. Name your price. Float away for 6 or 7 minutes. Awaken a touch better centered. setaside2
My sis and I used to love our vinyl copy of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang soundtrack and this takes me right back to our attempts to recreate the film in our dining room! alf0d

This album is just, at the risk of sounding old, delightful. It just feels like home. I’m not sure what else to say, I’m sure if you came at this as a fan of Tanya you will enjoy this loads. Beautiful record that deserves to be heard! Oh and that sunburst vinyl is just so gorgeous looking! James Ingles
