In The Rain (Sol Invictus Album)
In the Rain is an Apocalyptic folk album released by Tony Wakeford's English industrial and Pagan neoclassical group Sol Invictus, in 1995.
On this recording, Wakeford weds trumpet, violin and cello to folk arrangements. Lyrically, he focuses on the fragility of life and the certainty of death. The liner notes include drawings by Tor Lundvall of animated skeletons carrying about with the populace, peeking out of windows and from behind umbrellas.
The instrumentation and orchestration create an elegiac setting that complement Wakeford's lyrical expressions of the tyranny of love, the snuffing out of youth, the beckoning hand of death.

Famous quotes containing the word rain:
“Ah, but to play man number one,

Its wings spread wide to rain and snow,
To strike his living hi and ho....”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
