In The Rain (Sol Invictus Album)
In the Rain is an Apocalyptic folk album released by Tony Wakeford's English industrial and Pagan neoclassical group Sol Invictus, in 1995.
On this recording, Wakeford weds trumpet, violin and cello to folk arrangements. Lyrically, he focuses on the fragility of life and the certainty of death. The liner notes include drawings by Tor Lundvall of animated skeletons carrying about with the populace, peeking out of windows and from behind umbrellas.
The instrumentation and orchestration create an elegiac setting that complement Wakeford's lyrical expressions of the tyranny of love, the snuffing out of youth, the beckoning hand of death.

Famous quotes containing the word rain:
“And yet the sun pardons our voices still,
And berries in the hedge
Through all the nights of rain have come to the full,
And death seems like long hills, a range
We ride each day towards, and never reach.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
