Joshua Kadison - Georgia Rain

This song is taken from Joshua Kadison's great album "Painted Desert Serenade" which was released in 1993. "Georgia Rain" is the last track from this album and immediately became one of my favorite Kadison songs. The lyrics are pure poetry. So I decided to post it on youtube and to combine it with a slideshow consisting of beautiful pictures. Enjoy the song and the pictures and have a good time while dreaming yourselves away.

Here are the lyrics:

When all my dreams are fallin' on stony ground
and I start wonderin' why I'm even around,
can't find the sunshine anywhere,
Jessie puts her arms around me and runs her fingers through my hair.

And Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain
coming down easy on a windowpane.
And Jessie sings warm as a late night summer breeze
hummin' some faraway tune to the willow trees.
And life is everything God meant it to be
when Jessie's singing soft as the Georgia rain to me.

She calls me angel and says, Let me dry your eyes.
You mean by now you still don't realize
that everything I want is what I got,
so angel stop your thinkin' 'bout all the things your not.

And Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain
coming down easy on a windowpane.
Jessie sings warm as a late night summer breeze
hummin' some faraway tune to the willow trees.
And life is everything God meant it to be
when Jessie's singing soft as the Georgia rain to me.

There's a trailer by the sea down in Mexico.
We dreamt a lot about it but we never did go.
Some dreams are better from afar, that's just how things are.
And everything's all right
'cause Jessie's singing me to sleep tonight.
Jessie's singing me to sleep tonight.

And Jessie sings soft as the Georgia rain
coming down easy on a windowpane.
Jessie sings warm as a late night summer breeze
hummin' some faraway tune to the willow trees.
And life is everything God meant it to be
when Jessie's singing soft as the Georgia rain to me,
when Jessie's singing soft as the Georgia rain to me.

I've always loved the single of Jessie but my daughter bought me the album for Mothers Day this year and I love it. Such beautiful music and lyrics, I agree with others, why was he not more popular? I know Jessie pops up now and again on radio but never heard any other tracks from this wonderful album being played, only by me - over and over!!

My husband bought this album for me in 1994. He sang all these songs to me, especially Beautiful in My Eyes, and this one. (We met, married, and lived in Georgia) I lost him in December of 2004, at the age of 43. Bob was the most beautiful man I will ever know. He was a fireman. These songs help me through every day and allow me to remember... Thank you so very much, Joshua. My heart will be forever grateful to you. God bless you. Wendy

I will use this song for my wedding in august, I just love Joshua Kadison! His songs are full of depth, gentleness and honesty. This singer is authentic and that´s the secret of it, what a petty you hear so little of his music nowadays..
