      Agreed. What I find astonishing is his wikipedia page says he has debilitating hyperacusis. Which is an auditory sensitivity disability. To be able to create music and have this level of talent through that is moving honestly.

      @saltysauce8692 5 ปีที่แล้ว +78

      @Rip privacy Sure, I'll just run down a few lyrics, but once you notice the first few it starts to click.
      "Chocolate Rain, The Bell Curve blames the DNA" The Bell Curve is a book that claimed black people were less intelligent genetically while pretending to be a scientific paper.
      "Chocolate Rain, "Only in the past" is what they say" "Chocolate Rain, School books say it can't come again" "Chocolate Rain build a tent and say the world is dry" these two lyrics are about how schools will often teach about racist periods of history as if it's society doesn't still have racism in every day life, along with the general public sharing that fantasy.
      "Chocolate Rain, cleans the sewers out in Mumbai" is a reference to the caste system in India were you are stuck into the class your born in which shows discrimination outside if African Americans, although the lower castes in India tend to have darker skin.
      "Chocolate Rain, dirty secrets of economy" which is about how alot of businesses and government use racist ideas and class unbalances to make more money, and work to keep those racist policys around to make more money.
      "Chocolate Rain the same crime has a higher price to pay" witch refers to how black people concistantly have worse punishments for crimes.
      I think you get the idea

If you slow it down it feels like he has more soul and piano is more emotional I think for the 20 year anniversary the 0.75x version is going too be what he plays because this song doesn't fit uptempo this song would have a much more emotional impact down tempo

    Found this when I was like 16.
    Didn't understand the song, so thought it was a stupid song.
    26 now, and I am amazed. Some says it's about racism. Some say it's ahout general discrimination against minorities.
    I don't care what it is. The lyrics are deep and in some way speaking the truth.
    Amazing how life experience changes one's perspectives so much.
