In Raindrops, the second single from the upcoming album A Bridge Across Time, the listener is drawn into the whirlpools of deep emotions. The raindrops of sound allow tears to flow for those whose eyes witness the dark veil swaying before them, a curtain of sorrow. Behind this gauzy curtain, the album’s deepest themes emerge: surrender, loss, and death.
Raindrops is crafted as a piano ballad and is the first recorded song to feature background vocals. Piper’s trademark layered style is evident in the execution – a collaboration once again between the familiar duo, Päivi Sihvonen and Saku Anttila. Päivi composes and writes the lyrics, while Saku arranges, plays all the other instruments, and sings the background vocals.
Nature’s influence can also be heard in Raindrops. The music paints a fog-covered, rugged landscape, where delicate pine branches are draped with tangled lichen. The frozen grasses, their dew drops each ringing their own little note, sway with the chilly rhythms of rock. Nature’s delicate dance echoes in the music, while the forest, with its mossy carpets, whispers lyrics from the past.
