Composed and produced by Unfolded Sounds
Some love leaves scars you can’t see, only feel when it rains.
About this track
She’s gone.
But not really.
Ashes in the Rain is the quiet unraveling that follows a love too deep to fully lose, the kind that stays in the room after you’ve cleared it, in the silence after every goodbye.
It’s not about holding on. It’s about trying to live with what still lingers. A photograph in a coat pocket. A name that drifts like smoke through memory.
Creative Process
This track was built around the feeling of emptiness that doesn’t shout.
A stillness heavy enough to bend time.
Every verse was written like a page from a journal you don’t want to read again, but can’t throw away.
It’s a song where every image had to whisper, not scream.
Creative Tools
This song is Made with AI : its voice and instrumentation were generated using creative audio technologies.
But the emotion, the imagery, the tone of restrained heartbreak, all come from UnfoldedSounds’s vision.
This is songwriting rooted in human experience, shaped with new tools.
Do you know what it feels like to lose someone slowly?
Let us know what ghosts this song brings back.

Lyrics :
I burned your letters in a coffee can
Watched the smoke rise like a broken plan
Said your name with a mouth full of dust
But the wind just blew and it never asked trust
There’s a picture folded in my coat
Half your smile, and the words you wrote
“Love don’t leave, it just changes shape”
Now I trace those lines like a prison escape
ASHES IN THE RAIN,
can’t hold the flame
Lost it slow,
but I still feel the name
You’re gone but not gone,
you remain
Like ASHES IN THE RAIN...
driftin’ through my veins
I tried new towns, I tried the road
Tried to sleep where your ghost don’t go
But you’re carved in the air, carved in the light
Like thunder waitin’ on a silent night
There’s a woman now, she don’t ask much
And she don’t flinch when I pull away from touch
She knows I talk like a man ashamed
Who still sees your face in the summer rain
ASHES IN THE RAIN,
can't hold the flame
I let go slow,
but I still feel the name
You’re gone but not gone,
you remain
Like ASHES IN THE RAIN...
burnin’ soft with pain
If I could forget,
I’d be half a man
But your love don’t wash
like dirt from hands
ASHES IN THE RAIN,
fallin’ slow and plain
I keep movin’,
but you still remain
Somewhere in the smoke,
somewhere in my name
ASHES IN THE RAIN...
ashes in the rain
