Glen Raphael - Right As Rain

from SpinTunes #16 Round 1 by Spintunes

/

about

This song is inspired by the movie _The Matrix_, the scene wherein Neo meets The Oracle.

(I worked background in the *second* Matrix movie, which was kinda terrible, but I love this scene from the first one)

I recorded this using iPhone Voice Memo in a bathroom, with minor tweaks and conversion to WAV using Amadeus Light. It doesn't sound polished or great (or much outside the Glen comfort zone) but it IS recognizably A Song, so...there's that. :-)

lyrics

The Oracle is not what you expected
She doesn’t seem impressive
Her kitchen smells like home
The other child outside is playing with a spoon -
A spoon that holds the world
As we find comfort in our miracles
Surrounded by the cynical
There’s rarely any there
And she asks: Who are you
You must already know
The answer’s in your brain
And if it isn’t true, take comfort in a taste
And you’ll feel right as rain

The Oracle is not what he remembered
She’s been since the beginning
She’d say she knows enough
Just what you need to know
And for no other ears
Take comfort in the stuff
You have the strength of your potential
With your spirit providential
Many think you are the one

But she asks: Who are you
You must already know
The answer’s in your brain
And if it isn’t true, take comfort in a taste
And you’ll feel right as rain

You had to be the one
You need to be the one
You've gotta be the one

But she asks: Who are you
You must already know
The answer’s in your brain
And if it isn’t true, take comfort in a taste
And you’ll feel right as rain
