Stan Becker - Rain (Going Back)

Produced by Stan Becker - Recorded in Nashville & Los Angeles

"A coy New Hampshire transplant, Mr. Becker's thought-provoking lyrics make excellent company for the hard-driving beat provided by Ms. Dayna Franklin, who is one of the most injurious drummer in town..."
L.A. Weekly

"Ferocious as an AK-47, loving as a prayer." -- Lance Loud, Exposure Magazine

"Arresting, heartfelt...a lyrical and literate set...should not be missed" -- Tomm Carroll, Copley Newspapers; Santa Monica Evening Outlook

"Touching...written and performed with vibrancy." -- Goldmine Magazine

"Passionate and fiercely original rock" --Santa Monica Bay News

"Thought provoking lyrics, hard driving...intense and intelligent" -- LA Weekly

"Smart, catchy...works like gangbusters." -- Tony Peyser, Santa Monica Mirror

"...Sweet and open and heartfelt and lovely. Pastoral lyrics..." --
Hank Rosenfeld, Santa Monica Sun.
(Hank is 'Henry Rosebuds,' on-air personality for KSAN, San Francisco, and WXRK in NYC)

"Incendiary and emotional rock."
Ruta Fox - Exposure Magazine

"Tuneful and intelligent rock...look for a light-hearted then intensely dramatic set...a rave recommendation."
Dave Zimmer - Bam Magazine

"...Becker has been tagged by the press for his writing and recordings as well as live solo appearances on both coasts, and a long series of crowded L.A. shows with The Mayflower Slaves garnering excellent reviews for their intense lyrics and Becker's vocals." -- Music Connection

"Becker takes on the oh-so-common malaise of contemporary life - dysfunctional relationships, shrinking civil rights, hostile takeovers - with savagery, wisdom and wit. The tall, dark and intense Becker hails from the spiritual space of New Hampshire where the state's motto jives with his own: 'Live Free Or Die.'" -- Hunter Drohojowska Philp: Author, Educator, Contemporary Art Critic & Host or KCRW Art Talk

Times was tough times was hard
Trouble on the dock spreading out to the yard
She came back round here to live
But you can't call living what this is

They took her in, broke her down
She says she thinks she's gonna have to
Leave this town
She's going back to the rain...

Going back to the rain
Cause that's the way she came
Like a house of cards in a hurricane
She's going back to the rain

Like sheets blowing in the wind
The sails that set this world to spin
It's planets on a laundry line
Like some holy Valentine

She goes up to the ionsophere
Where the condensation goes
And she washes her feet in the gathering sleet
And comes down again as snow

Going back to the rain....
...
She said I'm waiting still on Sugar Hill
Where we'll always be twice ten
And someday soon some shining June
I'm gonna ride with her again...
