Song Meaning of “The Rain Must Fall” by Yanni
‘The Rain Must Fall’ by Yanni is a poignant and emotional ballad that speaks to the inevitability of pain and suffering in life. The titular metaphor of “rain” is used to illustrate the sorrow and difficulty of life, and the repeating melody brings home the idea that life can sometimes be difficult no matter what we try to do. The song’s hushed, almost sorrowful tone represents the feelings of the journey through life; even when we try to hold onto moments of joy, they are often fleeting, and are eventually replaced by moments of pain and sorrow.
The song reflects on the idea that within every life, there are highs and lows, and that if we are to make the most out of our lives, we must make peace with the idea that both good and bad must exist together. We can’t control the moments and experiences in life, but we can choose how to react to them. The song encourages us to find strength and courage in the face of hardship, and to find joy even when the rain must fall.
