Title: I Found You In The Rain
Artist: FenVian
Genre: Alt-Pop / Synth-Pop
(Verse 1)
Moved out to the quiet
Got a brand new address in my head
Threw away the Polaroids, re-painted all the red
Planted fresh roses, I was turning over every stone
Built a house on virgin snow, and your shadow's in the basement I own
(Pre-Chorus)
And the air was tasting sweeter
My heartbeat found a steadier drum
But there’s a bitterness in the water
Tell me, where is it coming from?
(Chorus)
I ran to the ends of the earth just to find you were already there
You're the forever chemical, the poison I breathe in the air
I thought this well was clean 'til I tasted you on my tongue
Now every new beginning is a fallout song you've sung
Yeah, every drop of heaven has a little bit of hell that you bring
'Cause I went searching for pure water… and I found you in the rain
(Verse 2)
He holds me so carefully
Like he’s afraid I’m gonna break
I flinch from the kindness, mistaking it for the slow-burn ache
I’m mapping the damage, tracing fault lines in the tile
Spotting your logic in a perfect Sunday smile that cracks a little wide
(Pre-Chorus)
And his love feels like a clean room
Sunlight on the hardwood floor
But I keep checking all the corners
For the dirt you left before
(Chorus)
I ran to the ends of the earth just to find you were already there
You're the forever chemical, the poison I breathe in the air
I thought this well was clean 'til I tasted you on my tongue
Now every new beginning is a fallout song you've sung
Yeah, every drop of heaven has a little bit of hell that you bring
'Cause I went searching for pure water… and I found you in the rain
(Bridge)
Can you wash a poison out?
Can you filter out a name?
I’m drinking downstream from your memory
And holding myself to blame
I'm holding the good things hostage, scared they're already diseased
I’m trying to survive this... down on my knees, begging please
(Chorus)
I ran to the ends of the earth just to find you were already there
You're the forever chemical, the poison I breathe in the air
I thought this well was clean 'til I tasted you on my tongue!
Now every new beginning is a fallout song you've sung!
Yeah, every drop of heaven has a little bit of hell that you bring!
'Cause I went searching for pure water… and I found you in the rain!
(Outro)
In the water... in the silence I arranged...
You're still there...
I found you in the rain...
In the sunlight on the hardwood floor... you stain.
Always in the rain...
About The Song
"I Found You In The Rain" translates the ecological crisis of "forever chemicals" (PFAS) into a deeply personal metaphor for relationship trauma. The news that these invisible, persistent pollutants have reached even the most pristine parts of our planet—like Antarctica—serves as the emotional blueprint for the song's core idea. It’s about escaping a toxic relationship and thinking you’ve found a new, clean emotional space, only to discover the residue of the past has seeped into everything. The ex-partner's influence is a "forever chemical" of the psyche; it's the lingering distrust, the unhealthy patterns, and the fear that you find contaminating your new, supposedly pure, experiences. Influenced by the theatrical, dynamic vocal styles of artists like Chappell Roan, the song captures the devastating moment of realizing you can't just run from your damage; you have to actively fight to filter it out of your present.
Production Notes
Vocals: The performance requires immense dynamic range. Verses should be recorded with a close, warm condenser mic (Neumann U87/U47 style) to capture an intimate, almost-spoken word delivery with audible breath. For the pre-chorus and chorus, switch to a brighter, more aggressive chain (Telefunken 251 style -> Neve 1073 preamp -> Tube-Tech CL1B compressor). The chorus vocals must be stacked with at least two doubles panned hard left/right and one harmony an octave up, drowned in reverb to create a massive wall of sound. The bridge vocal should be raw, single-tracked, and pushed to the front of the mix with minimal effects to convey vulnerability.
Arrangement: The track begins sparsely with a filtered, low-pass synth pad and a simple, syncopated 808 pattern. An arpeggiated synth (like a Juno-60) enters in the pre-chorus, building tension. The chorus explodes with a fat, sawtooth Moog bassline, a driving beat mixing live drum samples with an electronic kick, and shimmering synth layers. The bridge strips everything away to just a somber, melancholic piano and the lead vocal. This creates a vacuum of sound that makes the final chorus hit with maximum impact. The outro should feature the main piano motif and the vocal, with automated delays catching the final phrases and creating a decaying, haunting effect as the track fades.
Mix Automation: Use automation heavily. In the verses, apply subtle delay throws on the last word of a line to make it feel disjointed and unsettling. During the pre-chorus, slowly open up a high-pass filter on a riser effect to build energy. For the chorus, automate the stereo width of the synth pads to feel enormous. During the bridge, automate a subtle tape-stop or pitch-down effect on the piano at the end of a phrase to create a feeling of despair before launching back into the final, defiant chorus.
