Rain Lyrics
They might as well be dead,
If the rain comes, if the rain comes.
When the sun shines they slip into the shade,
And sip their lemonade,
When the sun shines, when the sun shines.
Rain, I don’t mind,
Shine, the weather’s fine.
I can show you that when it starts to rain,
Everything’s the same,
I can show you, I can show you.
Rain, I don’t mind,
Shine, the weather’s fine.
Can you hear me that when it rains and shines,
It’s just a state of mind,
Can you hear me, can you hear me?
I LOVE THIS SONG. Why arent there more comments? The story about the backwards track is that john came home from the studio after recording it and was stoned out of his mind. so, he accidentally put the tape in backwards and realized it sounded cool.
even though delyla's and anyone else who wrote something like it interpretation's is good and creative, and for those who haven't read it, it basically said that rain is a bad point in their lives and they're overreacting, and when sun shines (a good point in their life) they don't take advantage of it.
But john lennon said that "Rain" was "about people moaning about the weather all the time"
so the song is to be taken literally. and i personally love the literal meaning. i hate it when people are like "no it's raining its such a depressing day i can't wait for sun!" and i'm thinking, im gonna go frolic in the rain later and have myself a damn good time. and when its sunny, people say "ugh its too sunny and i;m gonna under a tree. sun please go away" and don't like what they wanted the whole time. i love rain, and winter, and it annoys me when people complain.
One of The Beatles' best songs, too bad it was a bside that many people never heard.
Ringo's favorite. He's most proud of his drum playing. The little drum solo in "The End" was't his idea. In fact, he did'nt want to do it because he doesn't like drum solos. And here's his favorite drums. Discreet. Subtle. Yet, cool. A very important lesson to learn by all the young rock drummers who think that playing drums is all about playing fast and loud. Guitar players too for that matter
i had never heard this song until very recently and its amazing such a good song
John casting a cynical eye over straight society. A anthem for the rebellious sixties youth, a la street fighting man.
I think "Rain" symbolizes a bad point in life. And how people just "run and hide" instead of facing it. And then when the sun shines, a good point in life, "they slip into the shade", they don't go enjoy the sun. It's like they can never be happy with anything. But in reality, a person's ability to a difficult situation will determine how they feel and I think that's what John means when he sings "can you hear me, that when it rains or shines, it's just a state of mind". just how we see it. Rain can be beauiftul. Rain, i don't mind.
That's seems right interpretation.
That's seems right interpretation.
That's seems right interpretation.
That's seems right interpretation.
Why is it the lyrics for Don't Let Me Down?
The music is great, the mix was bad. The song was the first blast of real acid rock that ever hit the airwaves. It is very underrated.
The first use of a tape played backwards.
