about

The third track of the album takes a way less serious tone from the deep personal subject matter of the first two. Translated from Portuguese, 'Dia de Praia (Chuvoso)' means Beach Day (Rainy). Last time I was in Brazil with Natasha, on my first full day we decided to go to Ipanema Beach. Ipanema is a gorgeous mile long stectch of sand with thousand foot granite spires, a beautifully designed stone boardwalk and one step out of a metropolis. When we got to the beach, it was a cold rainy day. Our beach day was ruined. So, the song is about making the best of a crappy situation.
I like using odd instrument pairings. So, here I called in Sean Gaskell to play the West African Kora. Its starts with solo Kora, moves into dirty electric guitar and ends with a fun little recording Josh and I made one night of him trying to be optimistically creepy.

lyrics

Dia de praia
chuvoso
nothing ever goes as planned.

We'll make the best
of this rainy day,
Ipanema cold and grey.

As the rain fell hard
the sun shined through
we knew this too would pass.

Circumstances
never go exactly like we hope they will.
In the end
we all will die,
no use complaining about the rain.

As the rain fell hard
the sun shined though
we knew this too would pass.

this too would pass.
