We try not to overuse the word "ethereal" here at If It's Too Loud..., but in the case of "Rain Dance," it's just about the only word that fits. Saint Avangeline's latest single is a dreamy and hazy pop song that is absolutely enchanting. The Atlanta based artist has crafted a song that focuses on her layered vocals, that are hypnotic and mesmerizing. This is the type of song that is going to slowly take over your mind while listening. Be prepared to miss your exit on the highway, or to end up staring at your computer, completely lost and immersed in the song. And then you'll end up restarting the song to do it all over again.
Saint Avangeline says of her new single:
“‘Rain Dance’ is my actual first love song. It’s about me and my current partner finding each other and connecting, and healing each other’s inner child.
"I have been blessed with the gift of tender, genuine love; one that makes you see the child in your lover and in yourself again. This song is dedicated to my partner, and it explores healing from the trauma we carry from our childhoods, alone and wounded. I often feel this nostalgic longing or even a sense of melancholy over not getting to have known them when we were much younger. Both of us would often retreat into the woods or the water alone as children, surrounding ourselves in nature and silence. It’s something we do together now, retreating into nature, and I always manage to find traces of the sweet child left in them every time we go. I named this song after a move from one of my favorite video games in my childhood – we play those games together now. Life is whimsical again. It is a magical thing to love so deeply."
