The eclectic
singer-songwriter known as Genio has released his newest official
single, titled, “It’s Raining Every Day.” The song is a
remarkable mix of chord progressions and movements that invite a more
full understanding of the nature of life, which Genio reminds us is
not always sunshine.
The heart of the track is a general
tone of stoic malaise, one which is not melodramatic, but rather
philosophical in mood and intelligence. Genio's chords are mostly
minors for a dark, rainy sound – appropriately so – and his voice
is a surprising, shadowy intonation from somewhere far away, or
perhaps lurking above. The overall experience is like a Socratic
seminar crossed with a haunted mansion.
In his own words, Genio explains that
the point of his song is to remind the world of the darker side of
life.
“The title 'It’s Raining Every Day'
tells about what we all are going through,” he writes, “sometimes
or more than sometimes, in our lives. It tells about having
resistance, and feeling down-and-out within. It tells that life is
not just a piece of cake, that ups and downs are a part of life for
all of us.”
Genio reminds that simply acting
positive doesn't necessarily equate to being positive, nor having
positive effects on the rest of the world, neither.
“Convulsive positivism does not bring
cash-in-hand and happiness within. Better to be balanced and look at
negativity as a part of life we have to go through and learn from.”
“It’s
Raining Every Day” is also a song about humanism, though, about how
one can do another wrong for shortsighted reasons.
“Unfortunately, we too often act
[badly] towards each other because of our fear and pain, or wounds
within,” says the recording artist.
“It's Raining Every Day” is not all
clouds, however, and it does not need to culminate in depression
following a listen-through. The music is quite beautiful, and Genio's
vocals are richly mysterious. The entertainment factor is in its
relentlessness. Genio accedes that his song is brutally honest, but
also says that this is where all the fun is.
“The song may be an [eye-opener]”
he says, “but it's fun to listen to because there's no sign of
release or joy in it. It's just terrible to understand the reality of
the crooked road we all stumble on. It is too real, but – ” and
one can imagine the songwriter smiling here – “it wouldn't be
right to sweep it under the carpet.”
“It's Raining Every Day” by Genio
is available online worldwide in spring, 2013.
