Rain that is no one’s faultNakajima Miyuki
This song carries a weight so heavy you can almost feel it.
Miyuki Nakajima’s “Dare no Sei Demo Nai Ame ga” (“The Rain That Is No One’s Fault”) is one of those tracks whose enigmatic lyrics—what they’re saying, what they make you feel—are often debated among fans.
The song is included on Nakajima’s tenth album, Yokan (Premonition), released in 1983.
Is it about war? The lyrics, which can be read that way, leave you with an undeniable sense of absurdity.
It may be a song to listen to while thinking of someone who has passed away, one that seems capable of doing something—however small—about your grief and the hole left in your heart.
