TITLE: Feel the Rain ARTIST: Natasha Iver WRITERS: Natasha Iver, Reza Vranitzky, Michael R. Young, Edie Washington LENGTH: 3:05 GENRE: Pop, R&B PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky "Feel the Rain" was written by Natasha Iver herself, along with the producer, Reza Vranitzky, and two co-writers Michael R. Young and Edie Washington. The four of them have written several songs together, usually with the theme of partying/going on/getting crazy, while Reza Vranitzky and Natasha Iver alone have written most of the more low-key songs, like the love songs and relaxed numbers. Reza Vranitzky also produced this track, as she has the rest of the tracks, although this is one of the few that Natasha Iver doesn't co-produce as well. The song focuses on a girl going out, partying, "feeling the rain" - which she uses as a metaphor for tonight being the night that she's "washed clean," so she doesn't care what she does tonight, because tomorrow she'll feel brand new.
The song starts off with Natasha speaking, which is an element that hasn't been introduced in her album before, but is a classic move for songs that are heavily sexually influenced. In this speaking portion, Natasha says that she can see rain clouds forming before she leaves to go out that night, but she doesn't care. In fact, she doesn't give a fuck. But "fuck" is self-censored, and instead, a echo-y scream is in it's place. In the first verse, Natasha sings that she doesn't need to get an umbrella because she doesn't have the time. Tonight, she's going out in style and in the prime of her life - the metaphor of rain washing her clean not quite being worked in yet, but being alluded to here as she says that she's "going out in her prime." In the pre-chorus, she explains that she's never been the type of girl who likes it when it's sunny and hot outside. She's always loved rainy weather. The stereotypical darkness of that statement is almost humorous to Natasha, but not enough to actually make her laugh. Finally, in the chorus, we get the full set up of the scene, where Natasha sings that she's dressed "like a vision" and that she's going to make them bad decisions, and is going to do things that'll start rumors about her, but she doesn't care because outside, it's raining. She repeats twice that tonight she's going to feel the rain, so don't try to save her. The rain is going to save her tonight.
The next verse is more focused on presenting more of the scene of that night: Natasha is being flirty with both men and women that night (she seems to be leaning more towards the bisexual orientation during the course of this album, as she explored that idea in the song "Girls at the Bar (Going For It)" as well) as she's buying drinks for all of the girls, and kissing all the guys, and just generally drawing attention to herself. She knows that she's drawing attention to herself however - it's exactly what she wants to do, because tonight, she wants to go home with somebody and feel the rain with them. In the bridge, she sings that even when the rain stops and the streets have all dried up, she'll still be soaked, trying to cleanse herself of all the mistakes and bad decisions she's made over her life. She knows there's no help for it, but it's fine, because she'll just wait for the next rain shower to come. At the end of the song, it's obvious that she has continued to make ill-advised decisions, because she goes home with the guy she just met at the bar, and the end of the song is filled with what can be construed as sexual sounds. You know, I can see the rain clouds forming before I leave. Do I care? You fucking bet I don't. Hunny, I don't give a *scream*
Don't need an umbrella Don't have the time I'm going out in style Going out in my prime
I'm not the type of girl that likes when it's sunny I need the wet weather, honey We'd laugh, but it's not that funny
I am looking like a vision Tonight I'm gonna make some bad decisions I'm gonna start some rumors And not care because it's raining
I'm gonna feel the rain Don't try to save me tonight, tonight
I'm gonna feel the rain Don't try to save me tonight, tonight
I'm buying girls drinks and I'm kissing guys, and I'm living loud I'm probably going home with him 'Cause tonight I'm gonna stand out from the crowd
I'm not the type of girl that likes when it's sunny I need the wet weather, honey We'd laugh, but it's not that funny
I am looking like a vision Tonight I'm gonna make some bad decisions I'm gonna start some rumors And not care because it's raining
I'm gonna feel the rain Don't try to save me tonight, tonight
I'm gonna feel the rain Don't try to save me tonight, tonight
The streets dry up But I'll stay soaked There can be no help for me, but that's fine The rain is coming down
I'm gonna feel the rain Don't try to save me tonight, tonight
I'm gonna feel the rain Don't try to save me tonight, tonight
Yeah, get crazy I'm not stopping Feeling good That's right Come on All night I'm feeling it now, so wetSOUNDS LIKE: Christina Aguilera - Not Myself Tonight
TITLE: Tashi ARTIST: Natasha Iver WRITERS: Natasha Iver, Reza Vranitzky, Michael R. Young, Edie Washington LENGTH: 3:37 GENRE: Dance-pop, electropop, pop PRODUCER: Reza Vranitzky Most people remember in late May when Las Vegas-native Natasha Iver hit the big time in internet fame when she released her song "My Boyfriend Will Hate This Song (Dirty Metal Music Fan)" through her website, and gained a huge mass following literally overnight. The song hit the Top 10, and Natasha was signed to indie label Songs to Love and Die By a couple weeks later. The twenty-two year old - who used to blog about how annoying her parents and boyfriends were on the very website she became famous through - was now a pop star, and was getting ready to record her first album. So with such a sudden change in position, many people had to be treating Natasha differently now, right? Maybe not friends and family, but what about acquaintances? Or even strangers? What about... ex-boyfriends? In Natasha Iver's new song, 'Tashi,' she discusses the way that she exes treat her now that she's had a hit song.
The song starts with Natasha singing "la la la's," her voice sounding almost child-like - but definitely carefree. When the first verse starts, Natasha launches right into attacking her exes. It's not clear if she's talking to one specific ex in each verse, or if so many of them treated her the same way that she's just addressing all of them at once, but it seems more likely that she's addressing all of them at once. She reminds them that when they were together before, they treated her like nothing. To some of them, she was even the side chick, which made them treat her even worse. She continues to say that none of them ever gave her a chance when it came to her music career, saying that her music was too boring for them. In the pre-chorus, she reveals that now that she's famous, the guys that she couldn't ever get to call her are trying to reach her all the time now. She references "My Boyfriend Will Hate This Song (Dirty Metal Music Fan" in the next time, singing, "That 'Dirty Metal' song made you guys sing along," which is her poking fun at the fact that they always told her her music is bad, but now they're listening to her all the time - alone, she adds. And they she musically laughs at them for being alone.
In the chorus, Natasha sets up the scene of all of her past boyfriends, new boyfriends, and the boyfriends that forgot all about are her suddenly noticing her again, and wanting to get her attention. They ask each other, "Hey, isn't that Tashi?," using her nickname to try to make them seem more approachable and friendly. But Natasha remembers how they all treated her before, and isn't going to give them the time of day this time. When the chorus is over, Natasha begins singing her carefree "la la la's" again, and now we know why they're so carefree: Because she literally couldn't give a fuck less about the guys who treated her badly before, because now she's on top and they're still at the bottom.
In the second verse, she asked her exes what they thought about when they saw that Natasha had been signed on to Songs to Love and Die By (Natasha mentions the label owner Amy Meyer by name in the song, referring to her as a "babe"). Natasha goes on to ask her exes if they thought and regretted all the times that they blew her off, or if they just went and bragged to their friends that they had seen her naked before. Knowing her exes, most people would be willing to say that they probably did the latter, but it's Natasha's hope that they maybe did the former as well. She sings the chorus again, which turns into the bridge, where she tells her exes not to bother trying to call her because she doesn't care about them anymore, and if they really want to see her face again, then they can just look her up on the internet. She proclaims that she's finally won, and now the battle is over. Natasha's reward for victory? Getting to hear her exes yell her name all night, and then never having to see them again. The song ends with her repeating the chorus a couple more times, adding in some very passionate, happy victory riffs before it comes to a complete stop, with Natasha's voice being the last things that's heard. La la la la-la la la la La la la la-la la la la La la la la-la la la la La la la la-la la la la
