Phish - Petrichor Lyrics






And oh, oh, oh, oh,
And the rain came down and washed it all away
And oh, oh, oh, oh,
And the rain came down and washed it all away
The time is here
The day is new
We'll find a way back home

And oh, oh, oh, oh,
And the rain came down and washed it all away
And oh, oh, oh, oh,
And the rain came down and washed it all away

We'll find a way back home
Home
Home

The clouds will open and the seas will rise
The ladders will come down from the skies
The glaciers will melt and the trees will fall
The trees will fall

There's no more future and no more past
We'll be on our way back home at last

And the rain
And the rain came down
And the rain came down
[x4]

And the rain
And the rain
And the rain came down
And the rain came down

Phish Petrichor Comments
  1. L.... ....

    I want the guys job to pull all of the balloons away from mike and trey haha

  2. D.... T....

    So glad I was here for this!

  3. P.... ....

    Are you kidding? I'm embarrassed and in shock. Geritol overdose anyone? Big Cypress was the end of Phish. Now, THAT show, was beyond words. I'm sorry to say that. So, sorry. Some of the most amazing moments I've ever witnessed, were with these guys. What the hell happened?

  4. R.... ....

    Imagine blowing up all those cats and dogs lol

  5. D.... W....

    After a decade of sometimes Phish listening, anybody wanna explain Jon's dress and, apparently, running around naked a few times?

    'Enquiring minds' and all that...

    D.... W....

    When they first started, he found an old dress and, as a joke,wore it for a show. Kinda just stuck and became part of his image. Being naked is just him. Hes a bit of a weirdo. They all are

  6. A.... D....

    I have a huge connection Petrichor. It is considered my favorite song of all time, (not just of phish but of everything I've ever heard), and I would do anything to see it live. First, let me mention, I am a creative writer. I have found that my true inspiration is through music. Before I heard Petrichor, I was grabbing ideas from all over the place: books, movies, TV, and my own dreams. Although, these things weren't guiding me to write stories that I am proud of. Then, I heard Petrichor for the first time. I believe it was in September or October of 2018, and it took three listens for it to become my favorite song. I tend to listen to individual songs on a loop, and I did this with Petrichor a lot – I still do now, honestly. After I had heard this song a bunch, I began to recognize the feel of it, and the mood it put me through while listening and afterwards: it made me feel warm inside and safe (even though some of the lyrics are otherwise different). I wrote a short story and gave it the same title because it was just WAY TOO FITTING. This story was about a humble old woman named Madeline who loved rain, and that's all I will reveal because there's too much to spoil. Petrichor has its own place in my heart now, and probably will for the years to come. Ever since I wrote that story, in only two hours, I've been paying more attention to their music and only liked it even more than I have before. When I was little, I confused this band and a bunch of others because they all sounded the same to my ten-year-old mind; but now, Phish is it's own music to me and I don't think anyone else can beat their rhythm (see what I did there?) After watching this video, I've come to love them EVEN MORE. Now that phish has made the accomplishment of making me cry, I would like to say: THIS IS MY NEW FAVORITE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!

  7. M.... F....

    My first NYE show and I couldn't have been happier. Trey is HEALTHY and this was the culmination of his work on Broadway and within the symphonic realm of Phish's repertoire. Brings tears to my eyes to think I get to live in this tiny corner of space at this time. Viva El Phish!

  8. R.... R....

    this was the worst nye phish ever played

  9. D.... ....

    SuperPhantastic!

  10. M.... S....

    What if Suzy Greenberg was one of the dancers?

  11. M.... ....

    Cool, except for one irony and that is the fact that those millions of little pieces of plastic will probably find their way, eventually, into the sea - killing the fish. Come on Phish, next time do it without the five metric tons of plastic garbage bought and sprayed all over the place at midnight.

  12. M.... H....

    Gorgeous

  13. n.... g....

    Man what a great experience last ear thank you guys so much!!! Can’t wait to see you guys for the second year come New Years!

  14. B.... L....

    I still have my cat and dog balloons!

  15. b.... ....

    Obvious, ubiquitous, and unifying

  16. A.... ....

    Natalie Cressman <3 <3 <3

  17. P.... B....

    Petrichor is a masterpiece. It's in my top 6 Phish songs. I've been watching this performance joyfully over and over!

  18. T.... ....

    If you like a pop-rock orchestra, the Polyphonic Spree really do this type of thing a lot of justice.

  19. T.... C....

    I need 13 Miracle Tickets for the Bakers dozen... my B-day is July 30th...i live in southern CA and lucky to get 1 or two a year. Plus im Broke.....Please please someone anyone Rock My world.

    T.... C....

    OHHHH WAIT I TAKE IT BACK I DID WATCH THE UMBRELLA ACT>>>TOTALLY FORGOT

  21. K.... Q....

    WOW. speechless. magical.

  22. C.... J....

    One would think that if your charity is for the conservation of water one would avoid using excessive balloons and mylar :(

  23. H.... B....

    hot dog!

  24. M.... G....

    I love the huge cloud of smoke someone in the audience blows out at 7:50.

  25. C.... M....

  26. E.... M....

    Such an epic set.

  27. W.... D....

    Love the horns!

  28. S.... D....

    Hi, I wrote a song about falling in love and what I saw at the Phish fest in 99/2000. Called PHISHIN IN THE SOUTHLAND, you can hear it at Sean Dobson healing Hippie Music on you tube. Peace n love Everybody!

  29. Z.... J....

    Is this how they opened?

    Z.... J....

    nevermind lol didnt get far enough in

  30. R.... S....

    I wonder if, some 30 plus years ago, when they made it to Nectar''s the thought of having something as epic as what 2016 and beyond will bring them ever entered their minds.

  31. J.... D....

    Thank you.

  32. D.... B....

    I can't stop watching this!!! AMAZING!!! 😍😍

  33. J.... C....

    I think the stage performers should have at least been able to smile during this. It's their new year too! I wonder if they weren't allowed to or they are just all biz

  34. a.... 6....

  35. C.... B....

  49. J.... S....

    What a great way to bring in the new year. The fellas killed it as usual.

  50. B.... T....

    I was too busy getting married to watch the show but I watched it in my hotel room at 3 am. Awesome show! Thank you!

  51. J.... B....

    a) Natalie Cressman, you are the stuff of dreams.

    b) Anyone tell what Trey says after ...5...?

    This band is world class.

    J.... B....

    ain't she though?...if I were 10 years younger, not fat, had game, didn't smell weird,  and wasn't married...I might reach out

    J.... B....

    he says "ahhh what the fuck!" because it's a few minutes before midnight but they'd run out of song and started the countdown, so he's like WTF we might as well do this it doesn't really matter anyway (that's also why he says "well it's never to early to get out of 2016). I think they were like 3 or 4 minutes early with the drop

    J.... B....

    Joe Bazeghi ppl

  52. A.... M....

    seeing the fucking guy with the umbrellas is making me want to die. HEY TREY PLAY FUCKING YEM AGAIN YOU NIMROD!

  53. A.... M....

    my least favorite nye gag i ever saw out of 8. my least favorite 3rd set of any nye show too. its ok though because set 2 this night was very good. i honestly just wish at this point that phish would play the same songs every night. yem, bowie, tweezer, sand, mikes. that is what got me into the band not this phony broadway dribble. and i know i know all of you brain washed idiots will tell me to not go anymore and that i am not a real "phan" and that i am jaded. how about you go ahead and bite me?

  54. Y.... ....

    This ain't the Phish I knew.

  55. B.... O....

    simply amazing

  56. M.... N....

    almost 5 fuckin minutes i can't ever get back

  57. M.... N....

    wtf, did i just wast 48 seconds of my life listening to?!?!... thank God for the good ol Grateful Dead, and John Mayer

  58. T.... S....

    trey hasn't played a truly great solo in a long time...

    T.... S....

    it may have taken 3 weeks, but somebody finally smelled your sarcasm. LMAO!

  59. j.... d....

  64. c.... ....

    walls of the cave jam was unbelievable at this show, I really hope it gets posted.

  65. M.... V....

    Man, that looks like it was a good time.
    Also... the booty on the young lady dancing at 22:21 - 22:29.

  66. J.... N....

    7:09 for a quick glimpse of the 'caged' animals and white umbrellas

  67. r.... ....

    Simply amazing!! I can't help but keep watching this! Epic!

  68. P.... W....

    I can't believe how many balloons there were. This is unbelievable.

  69. E.... W....

    How can one band, ONE BAND, create so many masterpiece moments?!?!? Think about it... the Tower Jam, Big Cypress, Halloween 2014, so many more??? I know this does not rank with those, but it certainly stands out as another MOMENT when Phish dials just the right numbers in. "And the rain came down and washed it all away..!" with inflatable DOGS! Of course. I love this band.

  70. J.... ....

    This was my first time at MSG and NYE with Phish. Can't say thank you enough for a very memorable evening. Happy new year to everyone!

  71. k.... ....

    Fans: no Petrichor Me: yeah I love Petrichor!

  72. X.... S....

    I LOVE PETRICHOR. Thank you Phish for your creative energy. Keep flowing.

  73. a.... ....

    Such a beautiful version of this new masterpiece.

    a.... ....

    Petrichor, that is. 👍🏽

  74. e.... ....

    this is great fun. as usual the audio is super crispy and excellent, thanks for including Jen and Natalie ♥

  75. T.... G....

    Petrichor (/ˈpɛtrᵻkɔər/) is the earthy scent produced when rain falls on dry soil. ,,,,,,I learned a new word......I've been edumacated....thanks PHISH......More trombone please LOL

  76. f.... ....

    Cheesy broadway dancers with raincoats? Fuck that, bring on the psychedelic dancing girls. I have always considered Phish to be a pretty dorky band but this is ridiculous.

  77. S.... C....

    the petrichor from halloween was tighter, but still my favorite song from the recent album. Gotta love the production on this one though

  78. M.... S....

    They should have thrown in some Chim Chim Cheree

  79. A.... P....

    and one know where is possibel download webcast new years run?

  80. K.... B....

    Props to the MSG clean up crew!!

  81. C.... W....

    This is incredible!!!

  82. J.... E....

    What other band can still be this creative, play as inspired, and be as relevant 30+ years into their career? Incredible run. Thank you Phish.

    J.... E....

    Josh E most bands dont have retarded brainwashed fans that pander to them. that is why phish gets away with this crap.

    J.... E....

    Andrew Martin why are you so angry and agressive? Try to figure out what and where were wrong in your life, that now makes you fill so sad. Than you ll probably release your heavy load and don t care any more if differnt people from you enjoy their lifes getting high when they drop out in this magic creazy atmosphere

    J.... E....

    Andrew Martin did you even watch this performance? you have no clue what you are saying, sir.

    J.... E....

    I was there. I have been to 8 Phish new years shows. This was by far the worst.

    J.... E....

    @Andrew Martin Yes!! It's like the Dead right before Jerry died, the fans were ok with Jerry playing like shit and encouraged it..... This recent New Years looked HORRIBLE!! The free ones we got on the tube was VERY uninspired! Wish they'd get back into more and throw away a bit of the newer songs they play!

  83. D.... M....

    way to go!

  84. H.... R....

    suerte a todo aquellos que pueden ver a esta gran banda, desde el culo del mundo Argentina.... snif ...snif...snif....

  85. w.... ....

    That was amazing and completely out of the control. A NYE's celebration that only Phish can pull off. Wish I was there. Thanx for posting this.

  86. H.... ....

    Great production. Keep them coming!

  87. P.... A....

    HA! This is too coo. Buried in balloons!

  88. P.... ....

    There's no dogs allowed on the subway today! Brilliant. Sweet new rig Trey. Lovin' it!

  89. K.... K....

    So Awesome

  90. E.... D....
