Rusted from the Rain

About Rusted from the Rain

"Rusted from the Rain" is the first official single by Billy Talent off their album, Billy Talent III. It was released on May 19, 2009. Lead singer Ben Kowalewicz has said that the song is very "tin man-esque" and evolved from an "epic Soundgarden-like riff". The lyrics are about marital breakdown, Kowalewicz told Kerrang!: "Nowadays, I'm seeing a lot of people who got married young are now getting divorced. It seems to be a new fad. Divorce is the new black." The song was nominated for Single of the Year at the 2010 Juno Awards, but lost to Michael Bublé's "Haven't Met You Yet". The band's cover of John Lennon's classic song "Cold Turkey", was released on the CD single, on June 30, 2009. more »
