"Rhythm Of The Rain," a 1963 oldie by The Cascades, ran through my mind as the rain started to fall softly tonight. I also thought of Dan Fogelberg's cover version, with its slower tempo and reverence for the original version.
As the rain grew more intense and hail pelted the roof, however, the delicacy of those versions no longer sounded appropriate. Instead, I turned to Grimetime's heavy metal cover. The lead vocalist still conveys the sorrow of being dumped, but at a much faster tempo, with wailing guitars punctuating the angst.
Who says wallowing can't be done to thrashing guitars and a furious rhythm?
