"Click to listen to Susanna Hoffs&amp;apos; &amp;apos;Raining&amp;apos;\r\nSusanna Hoffs&amp;apos; new single has all the elements of a feel-good ballad: the simple, comforting strums of an acoustic guitar, the steady beat of a tambourine and a delicate, sweet lament in the melody that ties it all together. Sure enough, the song stems from a different era. &amp;quot;&amp;apos;Raining&amp;apos; is a song I wrote with Mike Campbell (Tom Petty and the&amp;#xA0;Heartbreakers) back in 1989,&amp;quot; Hoffs tells Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;I rediscovered the song when I was sorting&amp;#xA0;through a box of old demos and decided to update it with my writing&amp;#xA0;partner, Andrew Brassell.&amp;quot;\r\nHoffs, who is also a member of the Bangles, acknowledges the bittersweet nature of the song, as it recounts an experience that, for many, is all too familiar. &amp;quot;The song tells the story of an intense&amp;#xA0;relationship that has just ended,&amp;quot; said Hoffs. &amp;quot;Feelings of disbelief, confusion,&amp;#xA0;desperation, longing and loneliness are revealed in the wake of the breakup. In the final refrain, the stormy emotions have calmed, and though&amp;#xA0;acceptance comes, there is still the lingering sadness of missing someone.&amp;quot;\r\nAs a taste of Hoffs&amp;apos; upcoming solo album, Someday, &amp;quot;Raining&amp;quot; is indicative of the Sixties vibe the singer is known for, from a female vocalist who isn&amp;apos;t afraid to pour out her heart."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
