Album:
Past Masters
Wiki:
"Rain" is a song by the British rock band The Beatles, credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was first released in June 1966 as the B-side of the "Paperback Writer" single. Both songs were recorded during the sessions for Revolver but neither appears on that album. Written primarily by John Lennon, "Rain" has been called The Beatles' finest B-side, especially notable for its heavy sonic presence and backwards vocals, both of which were a hint of things to come on Revolver, released two months later. A promotional film was made for the song "Rain", starring the Beatles. This video, along with other Beatles videos at the time, sparked George Harrison to say during the Beatles Anthology, "So I suppose, in a way, we invented MTV."
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] If the rain comes They run and hide their heads They might as well be dead If the rain comes If the rain comes When the sun shines They slip into the shade (When the sun shines down) And sip their lemonade (When the sun shines down) When the sun shines When the sun shines (Sun shines) [Chorus] Rain I don't mind Shine The weather's fine [Verse 2] I can show you That when it starts to rain (When the rain comes down) Everything's the same (When the rain comes down) I can show you I can show you (Show you) [Chorus] Rain I don't mind Shine The weather's fine [Verse 3] Can you hear me That when it rains and shines (When it rains and shines) It's just a state of mind (When it rains and shines) Can you hear me Can you hear me (Hear me) [Outro] Sdaeh rieht edih dna nur yeht semoc niar eht fI (Rain) NiaR (Rain) NiaR, enihsnuS
