Rain
By VoiceOver
Directed by Keith McCauley, Annie Roberts, Josh Starita

From Broadway superstar Ben Platt, who played Evan Hansen in Dear Evan Hansen, comes this peppy ballad about tossing out the baggage from past experiences and approaching new relationships with optimism and hope. VoiceOver takes a slightly different interpretation with our music video and features vocalist Hailey Carroll how she takes some bad news and turns it into a dance party in the rain.

Lyrics
You say you’ve been through this before
You gave away all your secrets
To someone who up and left you in pieces
I know the feeling, believe me
I know the prices you’ve gotta pay
I’m sacrificing my freedom
And all just to get somebody to see me
Nobody said it was easy
My heart’s been broken and broken and broken and broken
But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
Them one day it’ll open and open and open and open and open for you
Hey!
I know we’ve both been afraid
But we can’t run from the wind and the thunder
When we’re dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
Hey!
I know we got what it takes
Ain’t gonna run from the wind and the thunder
When we’re dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
We’re dancing under the rain
Breathe deep, let it wash over you
We’re slowly becoming lovers
I promise you we won’t be like the others
We won’t go running for cover
My heart is broken and broken and broken and broken
But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
Then one day it’ll open and open and open and open and open for you
Hey!
I know we’ve both been afraid
But we can’t run from the wind and the thunder
When we’re dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
Hey!
I know we got what it takes
Ain’t gonna run from the wind and the thunder
When we’re dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
We’re dancing under the rain
Broken and broken and broken and broken
But I keep, keep on hoping and hoping and hoping and hoping
That if it keeps on breaking and breaking and breaking and breaking
Then one day it’ll open and open and open and open and open for you
Hey!
I know we’ve both been afraid
But we can’t run from the wind and the thunder
When we’re dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
Hey!
I know we got what it takes
Ain’t gonna run from the wind and the thunder
When we’re dancing under the rain, the rain, the rain
We’re dancing under the rain
