This reference is much older than Rain Man, and the movie itself is about this being. Artists sell their souls to this devil in trade for money, status, and more. Rain manis a demon who is described by some celebrities, for example Jay Z, as a being who whispers beautiful numbers to him when he writes lyrics. This is not a direct reference to the movie Rain Man (1988), artists who refer to Rain Man, admit he’s a devil. You’re part of my entity, here for infinity.”Īll-seeing-eye symbolism, and the presence of water, symbolic to the rain associated with Rain man, just like in Umbrella. These fancy things, will never come in between. Baby cause in the dark, you can’t see shiny cars, and that’s when you need me there. May be in magazines, but you’ll still be my star. Rihanna in “Umbrella” sings similar lyrics, “Cause baby we aint’ got nothing without love.” “As Above So Below” is thrown when she sings the word ‘got’ meaning they don’t have the power of God in heaven below (hell) so they literally have nothing without love. The video opens off with Beyoncé shimmering with oil, light reflecting off her body, even though the background is complete darkness. These lyrics containing the words: "When the world’s at war, when the world is through, guns, dying, and fighting” are not directed at any human, but rather the devil, they sold their souls to. When the war has took it’s part, When the world has dealt it’s cards. Now that it’s raining more than ever, know that we’ll still have each other.
” You have my heart. Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end. The lyrics are very similar to Rihanna’s song: Hey, and I don’t know when I’m gonna die but I hope, that I’m gonna die by you." “And it's me, and you. That’s all we’ll have when the world is through.
Upon hearing both songs, one can assume that both are talking about a person who means a lot to them, but the music videos tell a different story. Beyoncé Knowles’s recent music video for her song “1+1” is filled with symbolism that is very similar to Rihanna’s “Umbrella” music video.
