The world feels so different now and familiarity provides care and love,\u201d Runga said of that song.<\/p>\n<p>That was followed by \u201cParis in the Rain\u201d, a cinematic anthem inspired by the titular French city. Written on the last night of a winter trip, the song came to life while Runga watched the Louvre Pyramid be battered by torrential rain. Its distinctive sound was captured on a historic 1807 French Pleyel piano.<\/p>\n<div class=\"observer-sub-form justify-content-center my-3 p-0 d-flex align-items-stretch bg-dark text-white\">\n<div class=\"observer-sub-form-info p-3\" style=\"justify-content: start;\">\n<h2 class=\"h5 mb-0 observer-title\">Love Music?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"observer-desc mb-2\"> Get your daily dose of everything happening in Australian\/New Zealand music and globally.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"spinner d-none\"> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"op-interactive\"><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Red Sunset\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"400\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/7xp4WMkjX9w1cWg4qJaScM?si=LB9MdNBATNaSVId2Motrdg&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<p>In other Runga news, it was revealed yesterday that the Kiwi singer-songwriter is <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/au.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bic-runga-and-more-to-receive-support-from-new-touring-fund-87231\/\" target=\"_blank\">one of the first recipients<\/a> of NZ On Air\u2019s inaugural New Music Project Touring (NMPT) pilot.<\/p>\n<p>NZ On Air, with support from the NZ Music Commission, designed the fund to help local artists take their music on the road, connecting with audiences up and down the country through live performances to promote their album or EP release.<\/p>\n<p>At the 2023 Rolling Stone Aotearoa Awards, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/au.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/bic-runga-receives-icon-status-at-2023-panhead-rolling-stone-aotearoa-awards-50043\/\" target=\"_blank\">Runga was presented<\/a> with the prestigious Rolling Stone Icon Award.
