Candle In The Rain

"Candle in the Rain" is Giuseppe’s raw, emotional ballad—a desperate cry from a man lost in the fog of his own life. Framed in poetic metaphor, the song tells the story of a fragile flame flickering in a storm, symbolizing Giuseppe’s fading sense of hope, purpose, and identity. The candle represents his inner light—small, stubborn, but still burning—while the relentless rain mirrors the constant disappointments and emotional neglect he endures.

In verse after verse, Giuseppe sings of being overlooked, unheard, and misunderstood. His lyrics touch on everything: a love grown cold (his wife), dreams that never took off (his failed streaming career), and the loneliness of shouting into the void (both online and off). Even his dogs seem woven into the chorus—chaotic forces that won't be tamed, much like life itself.

Yet despite the bleakness, the song isn’t entirely hopeless. The final verse shifts subtly—acknowledging that while the rain may never stop, the candle still burns. Faint. Pathetic. But alive.

It's tragic. It's earnest. It's unintentionally funny in places—but to Giuseppe, "Candle in the Rain" is his soul on display. His magnum opus. The one thing he truly believes in… even if it only has 13 plays on SoundCloud.
