Why moving home can feel like losing yourself in mxmtoon’s ‘rain’
mxmtoon’s 2024 single turns a decision between California and New York into a sharper question: what happens when a place has helped make you who you are?
Lyrics
rain
Window-shopping houses up on Clinton Street I'm dancing down the block with the autumn breeze Bright Eyes in my ears, I forget my fears It's the first day of my life And it's so sad to think That I won't be here forever Going home, going home But I'll always remember
When I'm sitting in the sun, I think about the rain And the snow on the window pane When I'm cruising down the 1, dreaming I'm back east 'Til I end up in Long Beach 'Cause I said I'd go back home, but I don't really know Where to go 'cause When I'm sitting in the sun, I think about the rain I think about the rain
I'm feeling pretty small among the redwood trees I wanna count the rings deep inside of me 'Cause Brooklyn made me young, so I said goodbye Now I'm growing old in Oakland And it's so sad to think That I won't be here forever Going home, going home But I'll always remember
When I'm sitting in the sun, I think about the rain And the snow on the window pane When I'm cruising down the 1, dreaming I'm back east 'Til I end up in Long Beach 'Cause I said I'd go back home, but I don't really know Where to go 'cause When I'm sitting in the sun, I think about the rain I think about the rain
(I think about the rain) (I think about the rain) (I think about the rain) And it's so sad to think That I won't be here forever Going home, going home But I'll always remember When I'm sitting in the sun, I think about the rain
And the snow on the window pane (going home, going home) When I'm cruising down the 1, dreaming I'm back east 'Til I end up in Long Beach (going home, going home) 'Cause I said I'd go back home, but I don't really know Where to go 'cause (going home, going home) When I'm sitting in the sun, I think about the rain I think I know I'm not the same
