Keep It Together, also known as Rained the Day, is the unofficial title of a Rilo Kiley song appearing on their 1999 self-titled EP, as a hidden track. It is sung by Jenny Lewis, and along with all other songs on the album, it is credited as written by Blake & Jenny. The track was only included on the first pressing of the album, and does not appear anywhere else.
Song[]
As this is a hidden track on the album, with no mention of it on the album notes, there is no known official title for the song.
The track begins with over three minutes of a quiet metronomic mechanical sound, before the song itself starts. Jenny sings in an unusual accent, and people can be heard loudly talking, laughing and making noise in the background for the whole song. When the lyrics repeat, the crowd joins in the singing.

One, two, one, two, three, four
Keep it together, don’t even start with me
’Cause I’m much smarter than you, and you know better
All those nights between us could make for a swell parade
You’re a little bit jaded, but that’s okay
They say it rained the day your mother gave you away
They say it rained the day your mother gave you away
Everybody!
Keep it together, don’t even start with me
’Cause I’m much smarter than you, and you know better
All those nights between us could make for a swell parade
You’re a little bit jaded, but that’s okay
They say it rained the day your mother gave you away
Shh! They say it rained the day your mother gave you away
Keep it together, don’t even start with me
