The single, “What Color is the Rain,” by The smallest Creature begins its dynamic alt rock journey with a simple and subtle drum beat, which prepares the listener for the intensity of the thrilling experience that is yet to come. This single is a perfect blend of the hard rock, alternative, and grunge genres. The production is polished while not sacrificing the rawness that exudes what is unique about this style of song.

The song is inspired by the first lockdown of 2020, which pointed the song’s focus towards nature. The band found that both nature and music are what is constant in the world and the song reflects this epiphany. This vulnerable message about humanity is hidden within the pulsating drum beat and relentless guitar chords, creating a paradox of both strength and sensitivity.

The band sings, “I’ll scream my lungs out, Till I’m gone, Till I’m gone.” This is referring to the everlasting nature of music. It outlives all and remains strong in a world where so little is guaranteed. 

The Radiohead/Beatles type song has an end that can only be described as a gentle decay. The thundering drums and brooding melody fades away as if it were never there to begin with.
