Rain - Marcela Carmona (Original Song)

This week’s track was released on my first album 12 years ago. I just found it and thought it’d be fun to share. It was written for a poet/barista at the coffeehouse I performed at oh so many years ago. He was my first real crush and the subject of several songs on this record.

Music & Lyrics by: Marcela Carmona
Recorded by: Mark Zabala
From the album: Virgins Die in Flowerbeds. Independently released March, 1999.
