Rain or Ruin – An Emotional 90s Rock Ballad About Holding On | Echoes of Time (Official Music Video)

The lights went out on Seventh Street, and all he had was a candle, a pair of working hands and one promise. Rain or Ruin is an emotional 90s rock ballad about the love that stays when everything else falls apart. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ THE STORY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ On a winter night, a blackout swallows Seventh Street and Jason holds Riley close by the light of a single candle. Then he loses his job, she takes the bakery night shift, and they sell his father's pocket watch to keep the heater on. Years later, gray and slow, they still reach for each other in the dark, rain or ruin. Rain or Ruin is an original song written and performed by Echoes of Time. Original lyrics, melody and arrangement, in the spirit of the 90s rock ballads and classic love songs we grew up with. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CHAPTERS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 0:00 Lights Went Out on Seventh Street 0:16 A Candle on the Sink 1:06 Whatever's Coming, Love 1:32 Rain or Ruin, I'll Be Here 2:00 Guitar Reply 2:13 Winter Took My Job Away 3:03 Let the Landlord Pound the Door 3:21 Let the Walls Come Crashing Down 3:46 I'm Holding On 4:07 Guitar Solo 4:18 Someday When We're Gray and Slow 4:51 Let the Thunder Have Its Say 5:05 Final Chorus 5:30 Right Here Till the Night Is Gone 5:48 Morning Came to Seventh Street ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ CREDITS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Echoes of Time Jason — lead vocals Devon — guitars Jeremy — drums Riley — the woman in the story Music, lyrics and video: Echoes of Time (original composition) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STAY WITH US ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ If this song found you on a hard night, stay with us.
