LYRICS
The hardest thing to do
Is hard for me to say
If I only knew
I would take your pain away 
I can’t stand the truth
You knew me all along
I can’t hide from you, girl
‘Cause you’re in every song
 
Take a look around
Tell me what you find
The problems that you have 
Aren’t the ones on your mind
 
You can’t stop the rain
It’s always coming down 
It’s always gonna fall
But you’re not gonna drown 
No no no
 
You’re friends all in the city 
They don’t give a damn
They all think you’re pretty
But they don’t stand a chance 
When you look in the mirror
Do you see someone you know 
Or are you just a stranger
Buried in the snow
 
Take a look around
Tell me what you see
The beauty of the world 
Shines through you and me
 
You can’t stop the rain
It’s always coming down 
It’s always gonna fall
But you’re not gonna drown 
No no no

[skipnick]

Showing your music to everyone all the time keep up the great work

[siscoismyhomey]

Neal with Derek?? My god that's a great pairing. Never would have guessed they would link but I'm so glad they did!

[joehodorowicz]

this sound is like the perfect blend of allen toussaint, leon russell and dr john

[Sylwinka]

I heard that song at the beginning of episode 3.08 of Walker Independence. Such a great music and suits to western! 🙂

[shunikup]

🌼 Have just discovered you with KEXP's, awesome, nice classics feel and tones 🌼

[tomc]

Love it!! Having Derek feature on guitar too 💥💥💥

[fernandaalines]

Can't wait! It was awesome live here in Denver!

He's headlining my hometown's annual music festival, this upcoming weekend. Looking forward to it.

[wspencer]

It is like you read my mind. Two of my favorites together! KEEP IT UP!!!

Just read about this track on Bob Lefsetz's blog. Listened. Fantastic!! Led me to "Changes", which is just as great. Thank you!

[avalondreaming]

Damn, I thought this was some lost artist of the 70's! Lol

[slingerlandiamusicpublishi]

Just heard this song on WEXT (Albany, NY) and had my mind blown. I'm embarrassed to have only just discovered Neal Francis. Wow, such talent!

[mailman]

the music reinds me of Little Feat, this is so freakin good!

[maggiesnyder]

Heard you in Steamboat tonight -- did not know who the artist was, just was drawn in by some fantastic-sounding music/band! Best of luck on your musical journey! Beautiful job!!

[jasonlithgow]

This was the beat thing that's ever interrupted me.... lol. Good shit!

[foreheadlstudios]

Just discovered you today- man, I love this!

[chrisheiner]

Ah! Listened to this first in the rain at 🍑!

[PlayinWithEverythin]

Thanks for letting DT lay down the guitar track - totally changes the tonality of the song for the better. I particularly like the smoothness of your vocals with the bite of the guitar - well done.

[eduardozapata]

Keep it up mate, you're doing better than these new artists. Making real and fresh music!✌☮
