Under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh You can stand under my umbrella, ella, ella, eh, eh, eh While they will hold each other’s hands in dark times, both of them will shine together. This is what Rihanna promises to bring to this relationship. They say only the people who were there by your side in your darkest times deserve to stand by you in your best days. Took an oath, I’ma stick it out to the end So, it is important to have hope and even more so surround yourself with people who can guide you through the dark times. When times get dark, you usually lose sight of the brighter things in your life as darkness overshadows light. She promises that she will do her best to shelter them from all the dark times that life usually throws at them. Rihanna knows the life of celebrities like herself can be difficult on her relationships. Rihanna begins the romantic aspect of “Umbrella,” singing about how she can be the protector of her lover from what ‘rain’ stands for.

Listen to the Acoustic Cover of “Umbrella” by Rihanna In the hip-hop game, rain man usually refers to someone with excellent lyrical skills.Īt the end of his verse, Jay-Z introduces Rihanna as Little Miss Sunshine–a play on the ongoing weather theme and a contrast to the rain which represents difficult times, and sunshine representing good times. He calls himself the ‘rain man,’ a popular reference to a person with bountiful gifts. Umbrella (Acoustic) Lyrics: Uh huh, uh huh / Uh huh, uh huh / Uh huh, uh huh / Uh huh, uh huh / You have my heart / And well never be worlds apart / May be in magazines / But youll still be my. However, Jay also says that he likes to build up a cache for a rainy day. But, Jay-Z says that his life is so easy, and without struggle, thanks to the wealth he built up over the years. ‘Hydroplaning’ is drifting on a thin layer of water, which reduces traction, and causes many deadly vehicle accidents. ‘Clouds’ is also a tie-in with the ongoing rainy theme. Jay-Z flexes that he owns the best of the best diamonds that his money bought. While ‘stones’ refer to diamonds, clouds refer to impurities in these precious gems that diminish their value. Jay-Z jumps hoops with the themes of the actual rain, the metaphor rain stands for, difficult times, and the fact that he is not impacted by any hardships other mortals endure.

You don’t see the guitarist reading sheet music. Reading lyrics is lame, and you can’t make a top list when you are reading from a piece of paper. Would not be surpirsed if there is a reggaeton cover of a Yes song ( I took a look. Just like with the club-house beats, the reggaeton beat has the ability to emulate any song. I cut it up into pages since some people can’t handle more than two embedded videos at a time. I only re-scored a song if I felt I didn’t give it enough time and listened to it again. Keeping the progression the same as the other choruses is fine because it blends right into the ending chorus, but it doesn’t hit as hard. I understand the triviality ( sounding like the architect from the Matrix ), but it defines the impact of the song.

Just a note: Very few covers hit the final chord of the chorus chord progression right before ( It’s raining ).
