‘The sun and the rainfall’ is the opening song of the latest album ‘Under Cover, part 2’ by Me & Melancholy. Originally released by the legendary Depeche Mode in 1982, this iconic song has been reworked by Me & Melancholy, which is the brainchild of musician and producer, Peter Ehrling. Even as the original melody remains untouched, Me & Melancholy has introduced its signature electronic and synth influences. The song starts by contrasting the original by incorporating electronic beats and synth layers, giving a futuristic vibe to this old classic. When the vocal line begins over the catchy electro beats, the overall vibe of the original song becomes apparent. The artist has incorporated additional harmonies in the song’s cover, which enhances the music by making it much more upbeat than the original. This is done by creating a soundscape with contrasting elements. As the fresh beats and synth layers have transformed the song, making it sound fresh and radiant like the sun, the artist has also managed to rope in the melancholy of rainfall through the vocal samples and lyrical brilliance.

Me & Melancholy have done a phenomenal job of producing the track, making a unique blend of retro and contemporary elements to create their signature sound. The album ‘Under Cover, part 2’ is a unique project by Me & Melancholy, to pay tribute to their inspirations. Songs of Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Bloc Party and other such Synthpop bands from the 80s and 90s have been reimagined by the artist. ‘The sun and the rainfall’ set the standard for the entire album and each song showcases the artists’ introspection of these age-old classics. Undoubtedly, this song will be a treat for all the Depeche Mode fans.
