Blame It On The Rain

He Is We's song 'Blame It On The Rain' delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone caught in the throes of longing and heartache, unable to be with the person they desire. The recurring line, 'I guess we can blame it on the rain,' serves as a metaphor for externalizing the pain and confusion that comes with unfulfilled love. The rain symbolizes the uncontrollable and unpredictable nature of emotions, suggesting that the protagonist feels helpless in the face of their feelings.

The song's narrative revolves around the protagonist's internal struggle as they compare themselves to the person their love interest is currently with. Lines like 'Does she look at you the way I do?' and 'Does she get the same big rush, when you go in for a hug and your cheeks brush?' highlight the protagonist's insecurities and their desperate need for validation. These questions reflect a deep sense of inadequacy and a longing to be seen and understood in the same way they perceive their love interest.

The emotional climax of the song is reached when the protagonist imagines the transformative power of a single kiss, believing it would make the whole room glow. This fantasy underscores the intensity of their feelings and the hope that their love could be reciprocated. However, the repeated questioning of whether they are 'crazy' or if it's 'more than a crush' reveals a deep-seated uncertainty and fear of rejection. 'Blame It On The Rain' captures the essence of unrequited love, blending vulnerability, hope, and despair into a poignant musical experience.
