I wrote this song when I was thinking about the times when it just seemed to keep on raining and I was just wishing for it to stop. I'm sure many of you have felt the same way.
My laptop with BIAB is being repaired so I can't put in the information about the style. I'm singing and adding a little guitar. Hope you like it.


I HEAR THE RAIN UP ON MY ROOF, IT'S ANOTHER RAINY DAY
BEEN RAINING ALL WEEK LONG,
I'M GETTING CABIN FEVER, ST6AYING INSIDE MOST THE TIME
ENOUGH'S ENOUGH, HOW LONG WILL THIS BE GOING ON

BEEN READING BOOKS, WATCHING TV, MAKING CALLS TO FRIENDS
BEEN DOING CROSSWORDS, CATCHING UP ON BILLS
AND WHEN I RUN AN ERRAND...NEED AN UMBRELLA IN MY HAND
I KNOW THE RAIN WILL STOP BUT SEEMS IT NEVER WILL

I THINK I KNOW HOW NOAH FELT
TO HAVE THE RAIN GO ON AND ON AND ON
I KNOW THE SUN WILL SHINE AGAIN, BUT SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHEN
IT'S BEEN WET AND COLD AND GLOOMY..... FAR TOO LONG

EVEN THE WEATHERMAN SAYS HE DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA STOP
SEEMS ANOTHER FRONT'S ALREADY ON THE WAY
NO SENSE COMPLAINING, DOESN'T DO MUCH GOOD
JUST GOTTA HOLD ON AND BELIEVE THE SUN'LL COMES OUT ONE DAY

Cool, Sol. Rain. Good write. Strong vocal and stronger harmony. Man, your lyrics include all facets of rain, including Noah. Good feeling song in spite of the confinement it suggests.


As a photographer I'd say, "When it rains, shoot rain." I enjoy the rain --even thunder storms-- with no umbrella.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Sol!
The topic of 'rain' has inspired a few songs, hasn't it! I've been interstate on a holiday and apparently it bucketed down here in Adelaide while I was gone - missed it by *that* much!
My mind immediately went to Boz Scaggs when playing your song. Love those BVs as well.

Another beautiful song. Living in Normandy, I preferred making music to getting a natural tan. It was safer, and cows prefer green grass to cacti.

Good song, good vocal, good use of BIAB. Like Marty, I don't mind the rain one bit. It's good for things.
