meaning of the song through the rain by mariah carey
Through the Rain Lyrically, the song features an inspirational message of inner strength, and finds Carey reaching out to listeners.[18] The song uses a rainstorm as a metaphor for troubles in life, while encouraging others to "make it through the rain" through perseverance.[19] The first chorus begins: "When you get caught in the rain / With no where to run / When your distraught and in pain without anyone / When you keep crying out to be saved", illustrating a moment in an individual's life where they are surrounded by conflict.[18] The chorus then serves as a guide to those still suffering, "I can make it through the rain, I can stand up once again on my own / And I know that I'm strong enough to mend / And every time I feel afraid I hold tighter to my faith / And I live one more day and I make it through the rain". Similarly, the second verse once again revisits difficult times when "shadows grow close", before continuing into the second chorus and climax. While the song in meant for listeners to gain confidence and strength, it also allows them into Carey's personal struggles she endured throughout 2001.[18] Lola Ogunnaike of The New York Times described the song as a "triumph over adversity",[20] while a writer from the Sydney Morning Herald wrote "it's an insight into her recent troubles."[21] In an interview with MTV News, Carey described the song's lyrical content in depth:
How Come The song is about the relationship between the members of D12. Eminem makes reference to his relationship to Proof, Kon Artis talks about Eminem and Kim's relationship, and Proof talks about the rift between him and Eminem.
Snow (Hey Oh) Vocalist Anthony Kiedis states that the track is "about surviving, starting fresh. I've made a mess of everything, but I have a blank slate—a canvas of snow—and I get to start over."[1]
