"Should The Rain Fall" is a reflective and introspective song by Morten Harket, the lead singer of the Norwegian band A-ha. The song is about moving on from a past love and finding freedom in the present. The first verse talks about how rain won't leave any color on the things he misses, implying that those things are now colorless and no longer hold the same significance to him. The clouds inside him are now empty, indicating that he has let go of the emotions that once weighed him down. He feels free in a way, as if he has climbed a mountain and left behind the parts of himself that were holding him back. The chorus repeats the phrase "It takes no color," emphasizing the idea that the past no longer affects him in the same way. The things that once had meaning now hold no weight. He says goodbye to his past love, acknowledging that it almost broke his wings and prevented him from moving forward. The second verse continues with the idea that the past has no effect on him anymore. Winter snow, sunshine, stones, and long roads have no impact on him. He also mentions that the things that once brought him joy, like wine and greenery in spring, now hold no significance. The past love has no face, indicating that it is no longer a tangible or important part of his life. Overall, "Should The Rain Fall" is a song about releasing the past and finding freedom in the present. It is a reminder that we are not defined by our past experiences and that we can move on and find joy in the present moment.
