It Rains - Archie Faulkes

LCM #SongOfTheDay: ‘It Rains’ - Archie Faulkes

‘It Rains’ is the debut single from London singer-songwriter Archie Faulkes, who first rose to prominence under the moniker ‘Tenterhook’ in 2014. Archie will be headlining at the historic St. Pancras Old Church, London on the 12th November.

As ‘Tenterhook’ he enjoyed tearaway success over the course of two EPs, which spawned radio hits that led him to be featured as Zane Lowe’s Next Hype on Radio 1, while also receiving support from BBC 6Music and Radio X. He became a worldwide No.1 on Hype Machine, clocked up millions of plays on Spotify and completed a number of tours across the UK and Europe playing with the likes of Asgeir and Rhodes.

Regarding the new single Archie says, “I wrote ‘It Rains’ about a dying but once great relationship. All we do now is fight and get back together again; with the memories of the glory days being the only thing bringing us back to each other. The love is still there but I realise its no longer helping either of us, but rather taking over our days and nights with worry, anger and fear. It’s a love for things we did together and the feeling we gave each other, but not for the other person themselves. The song is the realisation of this but wanting to retreat to ‘our place’ and cling on for a few more days in the vague hope that we can regain an element of the past and not let us be washed away by the flood.”
