"Chocolate Rain" Original Song by Tay Zonday

[@danbull]

"history quickly crashing through your veins" is such a powerful line

[@BananaMana69]

The fact you wrote a song that was funny to me as a child but extremely deep and moving to me as an adult is incredible. Even moreso is the fact you went with it when eveyone saw your song as a joke and not the deep piece of art it is, and now because of that millions have listened and heard the meaning behind Chocolate Rain. What an incredible artist and song.

I genuinely thought he was probably lying and just didn't want his legacy to be a song that's interpreted as a meme or diarrhoea references, but pretty much all of the lyrics actually back up his claim..
