This song is not about comfort. It is about the night when there is no one there. I thought I was supposed to sing “I’m here.” But Aida said — no. Sing the voice that asks if anyone is. “Who will be right here” — that line has no answer. No one comes at the end. I sing this song because I want the person standing in the rain alone to know — someone heard her ask. Even if no one answered.
