A reflection on grief so profound and existential that all flow of life essence and time seems to stop, “… I can no longer feel the wind of the future upon my face…” – RW
Soprano, Minkyung Lee beautifully captures the emotional essence of this song in her stunning performance on the Lux Musicae “Soloists” April 4, 2017 concert program at the Palmetto Center for the Arts.

Reviews of These Days
“In These Days, with words and music by Rain Worthington, the texture is woven inseparably with the color – a most unusual and fascinating technique that allows for subtle, almost spectral shifts and emotional intensity. It is an extraordinary work.” – Mark Greenfest, Journal of International Alliance of Women in Music, Vol. 10, No. 2, 2004
