I let it fall, my heart,
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you’re here forever
You and me together
Nothing gets better

But I set fire to the rain,
Watched it pour as I touched your face,
Well, it burned while I cried
‘Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I set fire to the rain
And I threw us into the flames
Well, I felt something died
‘Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught, must be waiting for you
Even now when we’re already over
I can’t help myself from looking for you.

Something birthed inside of me.  An idea.  A concept.  It came from music and ideas.  Conceived in lyrics and emotion.  I wanted to bring it to light and capture:  Fire and water.  Joy and sorrow.  Love and loss.  Passion and longing.   Feeding the creative inside is not only a good idea, sometimes it’s a necessary one.  Adele’s song Set Fire to the Rain was the inspiration, lyrically for the shoot.  The first time I heard it, it translated into visual images in my brain.

Hopefully this effort in some way tells truths about relationships and the doors within them.
