Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
This land, abandoned and dried out
Listen, no one hears you shout
In my hand, see the love in life
But in this land they fear the silent eyes
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us? Higher
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us?
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
One love carried by the wind
One love glowing on our skin
Join us when the sun is high
It only takes one love to open up the sky
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us? Higher
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us?
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
Oh I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
Oh I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh (make it rain)
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Listen, no one hears you shout
In my hand, see the love in life
But in this land they fear the silent eyes
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us? Higher
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us?
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
One love carried by the wind
One love glowing on our skin
Join us when the sun is high
It only takes one love to open up the sky
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us? Higher
Over the mountains, higher
Where will you find us?
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
Oh I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Oh, I hear
Hear the echo of your drums
It's in your hands, let the rain dance
Oh I feel
Feel the power of your song
It's in your call, let the rain fall
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh (make it rain)
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh
Make it rain, make it rain, rainmaker
Oh oh

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Emmelie said the song is about a tribe joining together to call upon the rainmaker to make their land blossom again. But on a more general level the rainmaker can be anything or anyone – it is about coming together and helping each other out. The song is used as the JoinUs song for the Eurovision Songfestival.
My interpretation of the lines:
First couplet: The land of the tribes is dried out, so they need rain to make the seeds come out.
Refrain: "Over the mountains, higher Where would you find us? Higher Over the mountains, higher Where would you find us?
Oh, I hear, hear the echo of your drums It’s in your hands, let the rain dance I feel, feel the power of your song It’s in your call, let the rain fall"
Refrain: The tribes meet each other on the mountains and sing a song for the rainmaker. The rainmaker hears the song and indicates that it is in their hands.
Second couplet:
"One love carried by the wind One love glowing on our skin Join us when the sun is high It only takes one love to open up the sky"
This part is about unity and coming together to build something together. In the case of these tribes they need to work together to make the rainmaker come, and make it rain. Just as Emmelie said.
And this part of the refrain; "Make it rain, make it rain Rainmaker, oh oh, oh oh Make it rain, make it rain Rainmaker, oh oh, oh oh"
I would like to believe it is the actual song the tribes sing to call the rainmaker.
I like the symbolism in the song, and the (sort of) parable of tribes calling a rainmaker. Just as Emmelie said, it could be about anything, where joining and make or build something together is important/the goal.
