Drawing us in with an emotive piano performance, textured percussion and the sound of crashing thunder and rain, Cervi opens Raining On My Head (stylized: Raining on my head) with intricacy and soothing dimensionality. The expansion features a melodic guitar performance and cosmic synths, intertwined with the subtle nature sounds that add a cinematic allure to the piece.
We could imagine Raining On My Head being featured as the score of a TV show like Adults or Euphoria during an emotional scene. We appreciate the repeated motifs of the melody which are engaging and hypnotic, manifesting in a meditative overarching energy.
Speaking on the intention behind their music, Cervi confesses, “My music is meant to accompany moments of creativity, reading, work, or simply taking the time to slow down. Whether you’re studying, reading, working, or simply unwinding, this piece creates a calm atmosphere to help you focus and relax.”
We learn that Raining On My Head forms part of Water Cycle, Cervi‘s lo-fi album that is designed to explore “the beauty of water in all its forms.” Cervi philosophically adds, “Rain has a way of slowing everything down.”
After droughts in Europe, Africa and the Americas, following the hottest summer on record, Raining On My Head feels welcome and zeitgeist, at a time when we, as a society, need it the most. The chilled energy would also make the track perfect for a yin or hatha yoga class, in a studio or outdoors, as it invites us to connect with our inner peace and nature at the same time.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and have added the delicate and precise Raining On My Head to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Cervi, including Gentle Rapids, Dancing Snowflakes, and Pink River.
