SHOTGUNN REACTS to Greta Van Fleet Tears of Rain Part 6 of 14

by



In this episode we will be listening to ‘Tears of Rain’ by Greta Van Fleet.

So far, this is by far my favorite of Greta’s slow songs. I love the way the music and lyrics go hand in hand. They support each other. It even ends on a major chord. Very beautiful chord voicings and chord progressions. I can definitely head the growth in their songwriting.

  3. They’ve only performed this song live once…Josh said it scares him as it is a difficult song to sing. It’s truly an amazing performance. On one level, I do think the song is about climate change but on a higher level it is about the search for salvation.

  6. Per the band, “Tears of Rain is the communication between our souls and a higher power. It is about a primal people ravaged from a drought of hope. Our inspiration for the outro came from our love of soul music.” Great reaction and so glad you found this song to be beautiful.

  7. Love this song and I agree this is the best of their soft songs. Always want to hear more of this but realize it would not be the same story it tells if there was a guitar solo or something else to extend it. Some of the best melodies you’ll hear from any band.

  9. This album is magnifent. If you haven't watched four of the tracks 'live'. Heat Above, Light My Love, Age of Machine – Age of Machine I think has more impact live and you will enjoy watching them performing together. And you should really love the end with them all raising the bar, Danny and Jake work so tigh together and Josh's vocal and breath control in the last part of the vidro is stunning.

  12. Just beautiful but as always GVF compositions are deep and in spite of the obvious creative lyrics are open to interpretation. I agree with JSoan the candlelight version is a must to see. It gives one chills to say the least. Awesome reaction Shotgunn, to another GVF piece of art!!🤘🏻😉

  17. One of the great things about this album, is just how much deeper they went with these songs. The message isnt always so cut and dry, but a lot of it is underlined with a feeling of hope.

  19. I think the band has said that when they went to South America for the first time to tour with Metallica, they were blown away when they saw some of the communities living in the favelas (low income areas) and the abject poverty. Sombered them and so the mothers with their children search for the rain…

  20. I do think this song is about suffering in a drought, alluding to the negative effects of climate change. Where I live we were in a bit of a drought with intense heat for what seemed like half the year, so I felt this song captured the feeling of that time perfectly.

  21. With all these profound lyric ftom these still young boys we should find out if these 4 jewish boys are christians, possible but rare, or are in some old testament orthodox god references ot referring to some kabal, I mean they can t just make this up all those weird song topics, their inspiration comes from a solid background imo.
