K. Walsh

Forest Rain was originally written in 1995, in recognition of the growing global awareness of the environmental impact of global deforestation, with a focus on the world's rainforests. In 2026 when the song was re-recorded, the world's rainforests are still seriously threatened. K. Walsh released the new recording and announced that all direct sales proceeds would go to the Rainforest Trust Fund. Ranked by Charity Navigator as "100% / 4-star rating", with approximately 94% of funds going directly to conservation programs, including the purchase and protection of land, The Rainforest Trust has helped protect 60+ million acres of rainforest and countless plants and animals.

The track features Walsh on lead vocals, lead guitar, keyboard, and acoustic rhythm guitar, with the talents of Musiversal studio musicians on acoustic guitar, bass, flute, and a variety of percussion instruments often associated with the lands where rainforests are found. Birdsong, rain, and thunder bring nature into the piece, which celebrates the beauty and mystique of the rainforest while also lamenting the challenges faced due to human encroachment, and the need to work together to recognize the issue and act on it.
