Between The Raindrops

The first single from Lifehouse's sixth studio album features the British pop singer and songwriter Natasha Bedingfield, who is a good friend of the band. Produced by long time collaborator Jude Cole, the pop-rock ballad is the first duet Lifehouse ever recorded. The song was released on September 9, 2012 via iTunes.

Speaking about the tune, lead singer Jason Wade said: "'Between the Raindrops' is a confluence of all these different musical styles coming together. There is this cinematic spaghetti western undercurrent breathing and moving in the confines of a pop rock song. The track started as a complete experiment, a sort of stream of consciousness. Over the next few ensuing months Jude and I rewrote the song at least half a dozen times. We brought our friend Jacob Kasher in to help us finish the lyrics. I feel like the song really was solidified and came to life when Natasha came down to the studio and sang on the track."

According to press materials, Wade "stumbled into" the song. Its genesis occurred on a day when he had family in town and limited time to work. Nevertheless, the singer "had this melody reverberating in my head," so he made a short detour into the studio, "threw all these different instruments down on tape" and a half-hour later had "the bare bones of the track." Working with Jude Cole and Jacob Kasher, Wade and the rest of the band further developed the song over the next three and a half months.
