Story Behind The Song

KISHA, is the Croatian word for RAIN. I didn't want to have the word Rain in the title and in the lyrics throughout the track. There are way too many songs with rain in the title and lyrics, but Kisha on the other hand sounded like it could at least cover the title of the song, and it did for good or for worse. In this case it was the chord progression that came 1st. The lyrics came later, much later actually. Because the music to this track came so effortlessly, I thought the lyrics were going to follow just as easily. Well, I was wrong about that!!! The song is about that crappy feeling we all get when you notice that someone you are fond of is no longer returning the affection as they once used too. A change has begun to happen. In the case of this song the change began to happen in me. It was time for me to move on. She didn't take it well, and that is putting it lightly!!

Song Description

The track was recorded live as a 3 - all in the same room separated by go-bo's. It is not a song that needed hi volume so the bleed was minimal. I borrowed my friends mid 70's Danelectro & ran it into a Leslie 145 cab along with a dry signal for the rhythm guitar tracks and a 12-string electric guitar to add more depth in the choruses and that is pretty much all I used for the rhythm guitar. The guitar solo was done on my strat through a Musicman..

KISHA
Words & Music by:
Ante Novaselic/ Sam Katacic


Falling to the earth
Falling from the sky
I see raindrops falling
from the corner of my eye

Looking for some shelter
Something warm & dry
But I couldn't escape the cold
and lonely tear she cried.....

Chorus:
But I couldn't run away
from the falling rain
I couldn't run away
from the falling rain.....

Cold winds blowing
Dark sky's all around
I found myself wandering
through the shadows of a doubt

Searching for an answer
Somewhere deep inside
But I couldn't escape the cold
and lonely tear she cried.....

Looking for some shelter
Something warm & dry
But I couldn't escape the cold
and lonely tear she cried.....

Chorus:
And I couldn't run away
from the falling rain
I couldn't run away
from the falling rain....

(Guitar Solo)
(Hammond Organ Solo)

Falling to the earth
Falling from the sky
I see raindrops falling
from the corner of my eye.....

Chorus:
But I couldn't run away
from the falling rain
I couldn't run away
from the falling rain.....

FROM THE FALLING RAIN...YEAH
