In part 1 of this series we went over the catch phrase “Rain Man”, there are others used like “Rainy Day”, “Umbrella”, “Ella”, “Eh”, “Chips” and “Stacks”, that all refer to the same thing. For us to fully understand the meaning behind “Rain Man”, we have to know what the definitions of them are first. “Rain” is a noun, meaning water that is condensed from the aqueous vapor in the atmosphere and falls to the earth in drops, a rainfall, rainstorm, or shower, rains, the rainy season, weather marked by steady or frequent rainfall or a heavy and continuous descent of inflicting of anything..WHEW. Ok now. It can also be used as a verb, meaning to send down in great quantities, as small pieces or objects, to offer, bestow, or give in great quantity: to rain favors up a person, or to deal, hurl, fire repeatedly.
But if the word “Rain” is used as an individual’s name, it will take on another meaning of abundant blessings from above. It can be used in a male or female manner. However in the music industry artists use it as “Rain Man”, that does not always mean it is attached to a male. Combining all the definitions of the term “Rain” we can possibly decipher what it means when used as “Rain Man” by artists.
1.Someone who offers abundant blessings from above.
2.Somone who likes to make it rain (throwing money over people)
3.Someone who can give you any woman or man you desire.4.Someone who can make you rich and famous

There are many other examples of the symbolism of “Rain Man”, most are from the pop, hip-hop genres. It is the devil or “controller” that the artist is referring to when they say that they have sold their souls. There are only a few artist that will actually admit that they have committed this act, others use symbolism or their lyrics to show their commitment. There is no open selling that is seen but we do have evidence of how an artist might be tempted to do so. They may be lured into a comfortable surroundings and presented with drugs of their choice. Shown how the other side lives, meaning the highly famous celebrities to further entice them. Next they may be shown some escort s and told to choose one they like. Anything to get the artist to lean toward what they want them to do, so they can control the artist. These are just a few of the methods, each person is enticed in different ways.
They want the artist to believe that their way of believing is wrong and that the artist needs to believe like everyone else in the industry to “fit in”. Some refer to this as demonic possession. We are all born with conscience, one side of use is angelic and the other is satanic in nature. This is basically the good angel and bad angel on your shoulders. We are always tempted, its is the fight between good and evil within oneself. If one chooses evil, they will always be tempted to be evil, because of what they received in response to that action.
Thank you for the information. Over 40 years ago, my(Japanese)brother used to say, "Don't listen to Rock music especially music which listeners shake their heads back and forth heavily. The move would make them be possessed by a demonic energy." My brother has passed away. I have never said this to anyone. If I could ask your opinion, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteI only now understand what it means when one's Soul weeps...especially for the blasphemous and heinous beliefs and behaviour of those who have lost their connection to the Divine. So truly truly sad. They need our prayers.
ReplyDeleteI have been taught all my life not to listen to rock and roll music, I have been taught backward masking since I was a child. As a child I was afraid of it. They called it head banging music in my time.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see this kind of information finally all these years coming out so we can understand what our parents was trying to teach us back then. You are right. I believe in all of this and I feel for the ones that can't get out of the clutches of the evil ones. It is so sad it just breaks my heart to see each and everyone that has been deceived as they have. Thank you.
