TWO SIDES OF THE SAME STORY
Drowning & I Was The Rain
Drowning and I Was The Rain are companion tracks that tell the same story from opposite sides. Drowning captures the devastation of betrayal—the moment you realise the person you trusted most has broken your heart, and the impossible weight of being expected to forgive and stay. I Was The Rain is the confession from the other side—the voice of the one who caused the pain, living with regret and accepting that some mistakes can never be undone.
Together, they form a complete narrative of love, loss, guilt, and consequence. One tells the story of the person left drowning beneath the weight of broken trust. The other belongs to the one standing in the storm, knowing they created the rain. Neither song offers a happy ending. Instead, they explore how the same moment can leave two people carrying very different kinds of pain.
