In Their Words: “’Walk Between the Raindrops’ was an evocative expression I heard on a talk show once. So I always wanted to explore the phenomenon it suggests … of miraculously dodging the random bad things that life throws at you. It seemed fitting to place it in a tropical/nautical setting where nature comes at you hard, just as life does, in general. In the end, it made for a nice, danceable metaphor. Tropical in rhythm as it is, too.” — JD Wilkes
