In our series ”Long Lost Tracks”, where I dive into our historical archives and strikes a blow for a forgotten song, have the good fortune come to a track that does not at all have so many years behind, talking about The Rains ”We Survived another Year”. The song itself is a both gentle as grand alternative rock song in true Swedish American spirit, and was originally released on the first half of 2013. The song is taken from the band’s second (and last?) Album, ”I Dreamed We Were Happy”. And just like the title of both the song and the album suggests, Falkenberg’s The Rains are not the most cheerful and lively band on earth. No. Instead, the music is quite dark and the lyrics very personal and disclosure. Some would say pretentious, I say honest.
In other words, the tenth selected song in our series of Long Lost Tracks in a historical perspective are The Rains ”We Survived Another Year”. If interested, check it out through any or these links;
