lyrics from “comfortable”

BRING ON THE RAIN

bring on the rain
bring on the storms
bring on the power
you are known for
bring on the courage to get me out the door
then bring on the rain
bring on the storms

i’ve had a good life
i’ve had it easy
friends and family
who love and need me
and for every thorn that pierced my skin
there was a wisdom, creeping in

bring on the rain
when the flood comes rushing from the river
teach me how to weather
the shaking and the shivers
bring on the rain
and if i swallow more than i can handle
help me breathe and stand up
not get so sentimental
bring on the rain

bring on the rain
and then the sun
to bring the knowing
that what’s past and done
will bring the peace
when there is more
more of the rain
more of the storms

“From Minnesota to Massachusetts (and places in between), Kellie Lin Knott has been plying her trade in the acoustic folk singer/songwriter scene. On her album Comfortable, she touches on subjects associated with the genre including singing in subways (“Street Musician”) and troubled kids (“In Africa”), but she does so in a distinctive way. The touching “Salt & Sand” was my favorite track.” Greg Shapiro

“the best on the bill is 24 year old Kellie Lin Knott, whose voice leaps around like Joni Mitchell’s on “Another Verse”, a song about love that manages to refer to Hemingway, Debussy, and Monet without being pretentious. Knott started singing with her father’s Top-40 bar band when she was 8, and by now she’s a mature singer-storyteller. She shows her gifts on “The Usual”, set in a restaurant where a customer orders “the usual” as a way to “save my voice.” This seems to become a metaphor of regret for a life not going anywhere - and then the song turns out, instead, wondrously, to be about gratitude for a life with certainty. How’s that for insight at 24?”
