"Rain" is one of the first songs I ever wrote, back in the late 1990s. It was the first of my songs to make it into the setlist of the band I was playing in at the time. I wrote it as a way to process the loss of a family member, and even

Growing up in Austria, I founded my first band in 1994 playing bass, which has remained my main instrument ever since. From early on, I was the kind of musician who composed the music around existing lyrics. Over the years, a lot has changed: from my very first recordings on cassette tapes, to the first steps with Cool Edit Pro, and eventually moving on to Logic each stage shaped my sound and approach. With the internet, it became easier to connect with lyricists and musicians from all over the world and turn ideas into full productions. I was never the strongest lyricist myself, but I developed my own style as a songwriter and composer. The Martin Gustav Project is where I present these collaborations a collection of songs shaped by friendship, creativity, and the joy of making music together.

Lyrics
Rain He cant sleep when doors are closed And when the rain covers his nose He dreams about the end of fears Reality brings raining tears He cant sleep when his girl cries And when he laughs, he hides inside And I cant explain What he saw in the rain He remembers all his luck That heaven gives when heaven wants Hes a dreamer but cant feel The rain thats falling on his knees He looks up and shuts the door Doesnt want to live anymore And I dont know why Rain is falling from the sky Refrain Rain is falling, falling from the sky Rain is falling, falling from the sky Rain is falling, falling from the sky Rain is falling down from the sky He looks up into the sky Sees the birds and sees them fly He doesnt breathe in steady time Hes holding on, then breathing blind He remembers all his life Thinks that its no paradise And I cant explain What he saw in the rain And he just falls out of luck He is falling on his knees He thinks back to his life He just looks for heavens guide He goes onto the floor Takes his gun, he shoots, he falls And I dont know why Rain is falling from the sky Refrain Rain is falling, falling from the sky Rain is falling, falling from the sky Rain is falling, falling from the sky Rain is falling down from the sky Then he looks back again Sees a world thats full of rain Takes the gun against his head Closes eyes and fires again He doesnt want to live anymore Fires the gun, he falls once more And I cant explain Rain cries tears in his name
