"Nobody cares if I'm happy, why would you want to write about that?" Gary Allen states. "I don't want to hear songs about how sunshiny things are. I like the songs that are cutting edge and real heart-wrenchers."
So why then, is Gary's single, "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)," a song about hope?
"I wrote the song with Hillary Lindsey and Matt Warren, and Matt was kind of going through a hard time," Gary tells The Boot. "He was going through a dry spell, like all writers do, and he hadn't been writing many songs. He was doing yard work one day, weed eating, and he hit a rock and it hit the house and then bounced back and hit him in the forehead. He was pissed, and he called me and talked to me about it ... He had the line, 'Every storm runs out of rain."
