Country music has already told us how “rain makes corn and corn makes whiskey,” but in Ches Anderson’s “Rain,” we get a better insight into what the rain truly means to a farmer’s success. “Rain” is an upbeat country-pop anthem that presents a mix of impressive vocals and a forward-moving drumline. Through a catchy chorus filled with Ches’s falsetto, riffs, and drum fills, Anthony gives us a hopeful song of the early fall.
“Rain” expresses how precipitation is the true determiner of successful crop life on a farm, and how without it can affect so much. Yet, as the chorus explains, rain “isn’t luck, it’s trust.” These lyrics resonate not only with having faith as a farmer but in whatever you desire in your own life as well.
Whatever your “rain” is, Ches is reminding you that rain can’t be created without the hard work behind it.
