“The moment the main motif of HOUSE OF RAIN poured out, I knew we had something special. It’s not the kind of theme you stumble upon every day. It’s an instant sing-along and had to be handled with special care if we didn’t want it to go to waste on a two-bit tune. That’s why we decided to put extra effort into putting this track together. Once it was done, I felt it needed another vocal line an octave higher to go along with mine. That’s where the idea of female vocals came in. Luckily, one of my all-time favourite singers, Ann-Mari Edvardsen, ex-singer of the Norwegian legends The 3rd and the Mortal—with whom we had already collaborated years ago on the album Novembrine Waltz—had just moved to my hometown in Sicily. It only felt natural to give her a call and suggest a second collaboration, which, to my surprise, she happily accepted. So I flew back to Sicily to meet her in a studio, and that’s where the magic happened.
Then the band was phenomenal, the rhythm section thundering ahead like a train, and the central solo lifted the piece to soaring heights.
And like something out of a fate-driven novel, it all came together—Ann-Mari, my return to the old country—and the lyrics could only be about an old house, the houses we leave behind, and the silence they must have carried all those years without us kids tearing through its rooms. Do they miss us? Do they feel lonely?”

HOUSE OF RAIN LYRICS
In a Fall through the grass and the grain
Up the routes of the senses again
An attempt to ensure heart to the words
This is the sound of the rain
And a wind brushed the crown of the bell
asked its way to the halls, and the stairs
said it missed me a lot
Where have you gone
This is the house of rain
Listen, it sings the calm
And I longed for it to come
As the noises quit and die
And I watched you
Slipping through the night
like the ghost of a fleeting Sun
As the morning’s yet to come
Waiving a leaf of light
I am walking through the door, this night
Just as the candles die
I am thrown against the dawn, unharmed, unhurt
As the waves bring new life to the land
To my heart you’re the sound of the rain
Hey I missed you a lot
Where do we go now
This is the house of rain
In this train to the stars with no rails
watch the world through this sky-painted glass
as the seas meet the shore
love’s often war
This is the house of rain
(solo: Alessio)
Wearing a leaf of light
I am walking through the door, this night
as our youth withers and dies
I am thrown against your dawn, harmed, and hurt
As the darkness is drawing nearer
And the thunder’s scaring the dogs
I won’t leave you alone
In the nightmare of this season
when our love has nowhere to run
This is the house of rain
