Rainer Maria

Rainer Maria was an emo band originally from Madison, Wisconsin, later residing in Brooklyn, New York. Named after the German-language poet Rainer Maria Rilke, they formed in the late summer of 1995 and released five full length albums, a live DVD, numerous live recordings, and EPs. In its earlier days, the band had a dual male and female vocal line-up; later, Caithlin De Marrais took over most singing. The gender ambiguity of the name Rainer Maria paralleled this and was one of the reasons it was selected as the band's name.[citation needed] more »

oh the reason the night is long
is very simple.
oh i miss you when i'm at work.
oh and i miss you when we fight, and you leave.
honey, i confess, i stole your heart.
and honey, i confess that it was criminal.
but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed.
and i've been disarmed by your charm.

oh the reason the night is long is very simple.
i imagine, tonight, that we can get along.

that nothing i can do with you is wrong, tonight.
but if i'm careful at sunset, if i'm mindful at dawn,
clouded minds up north could
sometimes produce rain and lightning.

if it's ok to touch you,
it's alright to think "electricity".
maybe it hasn't been so long.
maybe this dim time is just twilight.
