Morning Rain by Eaves Wilder

One of her most melancholic works to date, ‘Morning Rain’ finds the 19 year old toying with the struggle of returning to a place where she no longer felt safe, school. Growing up, she found lessons boring, spending more time doodling pianos in her workbooks than paying attention to her teachers. Frustrated with having to allow another person to take control of her day, she’d long to be at home, writing music in her bedroom.

“For me, school was something that postponed life from starting,” tells Eaves Wilder. “I spent the entire time trying to get out of it. You spend 18 years memorising so much information and then they turn around and expect you to know who you are and what you want, but you're not given a chance to really figure that out.

This song is kind of the fallout of ‘I Stole Your Jumper’. I wrote it at a time when I was having to see a certain boy every day, which filled my walk from the station with dread. I felt like I was walking toward a place that didn’t feel safe.”
