Let it Rain

This song is Let it Rain by David Nail. It’s a pretty popular song on country radio around here lately, and I have to say I rather enjoy singing along to it. It’s a good song to sing to, he is a good artist and I also love his song Red Light. But some of the actual lyrics to the song… baffle me.

It’s essentially a song about a man cheating on his wife of seven years, and he is telling her. One of the beginning lyrics states ‘No seven years of good cant hide the one night I forgot to wear that ring’. So… you happened to forget to wear your ring. Washed your hands, took it off to do something, didn’t want to lose it, etc. Okay, understandable. Does that mean you forget that you’re married? Does taking off the ring automatically rid you of a wife? Maybe it’s just a way to cleverly say he cheated but still, forgetting the ring is no excuse. There is no excuse. At all. A guy told me last week (though said guys is a douchebag so, his opinion is moot) that Shania Twain maybe deserved to be cheated on, because she has a song about how ‘I can be late for a date, that’s fine but he better be on time’. And something about how even for a hot girl, sometimes the crazy outweighs that and they deserve to be cheated on.

1) We’re girls. Don’t question us if we’re late for a date, because we’re probably late because we’re pretty-ing ourselves up for you.

b) Nobody DESERVES to be cheated on. There is no excuse. If you want someone else, clearly you aren’t happen: break up with whoever you’re with. Yeah, it’ll be hard and yeah, it’ll hurt them like hell but not nearly as much as you cheating on them. Just end it before.

Also, “When the shades start coming down, the guilt you feel’s the last thing on your mind”. If you can cheat and not feel guilty, you do deserve that rain. You deserve everything that is coming your way. Granted, in the song he sings that “Every word, let it hurt, even more than I deserve” and he is accepting that it’s his fault. Though, it’s probably not even close to what he deserves. I just don’t see how he is surprised that she doesn’t love him anymore (even though she probably does, she just wont trust him and therefor it’s practically impossible to continue on in most cases).

I just don’t understand cheating. I don’t get why, or how, people do it. Have some respect, have a soul, or just be a decent human being. It’s not that difficult.

PS: I’ve never been cheated on, that I know of. It’s just a general opinion of mine.
