Friend, your comment seems to imply that you either think death is the end of it all, or that you have a really good perspective on Eternity. I hope it's the latter. Either way, the lyric is "so that I can feel the rain..." and in the context of Dave's song, I believe this lyric is a strong hook and key to the song.
Dave powerfully repeats this lyric in connection with the forenamed deceased to emphasize his understanding of his own mortality. Feeling the rain is a metaphor. Peace.
hes playing a Martin guitar here which is peculiar cause he is usually playing a taylor. They are both the top end fine crafted acoustic guitars. Idk what model it is though hard to tell.
when ever he plays with Tim, or solo he usually has a Martin, he uses a Taylor during the band's shows because it cuts through all the noise the best and is more audible to the crowd. And I agree with rich2k4: it probably was his signiture series.
what was that question?
