Five String Serenade

about this song

“Five String Serenade” is a cover of an Arthur Lee song. It’s a mournful song about a lover who has gone away. The relationship may have ended and she moved on, the girl may have died, or something else ended up separating them: it’s not clear, but the point is that they are not together now. He says, “It could be raining there too,” so he doesn’t know where she is, as evidenced by the suppositional “could be” phrase. If he knew where she was, then he would know if it’s raining in her location.
