Rainsong by Imago

Imago perhaps a band that was famous for their weird way of expressing themselves in terms of music I first heard of them when I was in Highschool back in hmm.. 95? or 96?. And this song was I think their first hit. They sound really different I thought they were some kind of foreign band since their lyrics were undecipherable.. I wasn't aware and didn't care about music. All I was concerned was hanging out with friends and I was listening to anything pop. I didn't have my own musical identity. :)

The Intro is quite heavy...a lot of percussion and ethnic instruments can be heard and then when Aia De Leon sings, You'd think they were from some indigenous tribe. You won't even think they had electric guitars, drums and a bass. :D Aia sounds a lot different in this song as compared to their current hits. In fact it sounds as if she is chanting some weird spell (I think that was the main concept for the song. Pretty Good if you ask me) :) I guess that's what sets them apart from other bands they are so open to change and embrace it to the point that if you listen to all their albums.. nothing sounds alike. :) talk about getting out of your comfort zone. If you listen to the lyrics you won't understand a word, but buy the album, check out the lyrics and at first you'd think.. WTF?! these are words, She's singing garbage! but eventually I'm hoping you have an IQ higher than 10. You'll soon realize that what Aia did was she sang the song backwards.. with the chorus starting out with "Yreg Seiks.. Yreg Seiks..." you'd actually realize that it's Grey Skies.. CLEVAAA :D Don't you think? :)

This song is what actually prompted me to look up to Imago. :)

Listen to when: You don't wanna go to school..(get it? Praying for Rain?..no classes.. AHH SHARAP!)
