Every time I hear this song I am transported back in time. I was around 15 years old with two other kids, my best friend and a sweet girl in the neighborhood. We were goofing off on the banks of the Mississippi River in south Louisiana. It was a warm day, perfectly comfortable. A sudden storm came up, we didn't even try to run home, we just got under a tin roof of an old tree house some other kids had built in the woods. The rain beating on the metal, the water coming down in sheets, the wind, the thunder, the trees swaying. Then it was over, everything was clean and fresh, we were a little wet, but dried out quickly. I feel like, yes, I have seen the rain.
Funny thing, It reminds me of swimming in the Lee River with my best friend and girl .when we were 15 and I'm from Ireland. Wet country , have a nice day
This song reminds me of my grandpa, who passed away last month sadly. He would always play this song and we both really liked it, he was almost like a second father to me. I would go to work with him and help him out and i’ve made amazing memories with him, I miss him everyday ❤🕊️
In 1970, my wife and I listened to this song a lot. Creedence was our favorite band back in those days. We would ride around listening to them in my 68 Chevelle on my eight track tape player. I had all their tapes and still do. That was a different time and actually a different world. We married in October of that year and we have been married ever since. I feel for the young people of today, knowing they will never experience the times we had back then. Finding the love of your life is a once in a lifetime thing. Unfortunately some people never have the opportunity. And to my wife I say that I will always love you ❤
Was told by an elderly next door neighbor when I was a little boy , that when this happened (rain coming down on a sunny day)that if you put a brick on the ground and put your ear to it ,that the devil was beating his wife and you could hear her screaming .
To my baby brother. Marine in Viet Nam. 18 years old. Radioman. Son, brother, husband, father but missed his Granddaughter by 3 months. Mechanic who do anything. His American n his Marine flags still fly. We shall all be together together again one fine day and run an laugh in the rain. Blessings to all! Sorry to say I think we need all blessings possible. Hang on to who we are
Sitting on my cajun grandparents back porch listening to the rain pounding on the tin roof, the thunder booming, the trees swaying, the rain coming down in buckets. we all just sitting there silent out of respect because we know it was God speaking and we needed to listen. and then its all over and the sun comes out. yes I have seen the rain. We did not have the things we have today, but we had such good things. we had each other. I pray to God we will be together again one day listening to the rain.
I know she was my sunshine and rain n I'm sorry I let her down but she better know that I will always love her and I would belly crawl bu6t naked across broken glass just to hear her fart on the phone to prove I love her
Such a so strong flavor of America, of the United States in this song..., I listen to it and the sounds of american words, the faces of men and women who built this Country, who lived and who live, the history of this Country ..., the horizons, the cars... it's as if everything arrived, all together, through rhythm, music, words...... Powerful. From Italy 🙏
This song was played at my Papaws funeral and got me through tougher times. Every time I listen to this song it’s like he still with me. God bless everyone and love you papaw❤❤
Thu song was my brother's all time favorite song. who had autism with grand mall seizures. he passed away September 14, 2006 . He was born September 13, 1984. We all miss you much my one and only brother may we meet again someday❤
Yep. My 65th birthday and I ended up here. Yeah, think we all have seen the rain coming down on a sunny day, but even more strange things since this song was written. Just enjoying myself ❤️
I loved this song the first time I heard it many years before. Now it seems to take on a new meaning with the passage of time and the hurdles that we have to leap over. My “best friends” favourite song. 😢
I'm a Spanish student I want to learn English and our teachers was recommended to us this song he says:this is a beautiful song and When you improve your English skills you are going to know what this song means
One of mine to and songs speak to me and my heart is unmatched and you better believe that and although I don't understand other folks choices I see them for what they are and she isn't who I thought she was and I was sad for years about how my life was not anymore,I'm sad for her life how.miserable must a person be to try and ruin someone who USED to love her , clean or not no matter which zip code it will never be with her and live your life from this moment forward knowing one thing with certainty you have a chance to be happy with anyone on .Gods earth except with one person and it's the one who loved you the most chance life will give you what you give stop being angry and start loving your life and stop hating mine because I will only hurt you more nobody will ever push me around girl I'm a legend
@lindaroper2654 I used to call my husband the "old fart" and he called me "fat @ss", but I only weigh about 100 lbs. Calling a loved one an "unkind" word isn't always an insult. It's having a sense of humor. Robert passed away in 1987 after a stroke. I still miss "the old fart".
You know this song has so much meaning right now to me in my life the way that my life is going, you can't even begin to imagine how this song makes so much sense in my life
It reminds me of my Marine days and my buddies. Those were great times. I enlisted after high school and was proud to serve then and it’s been over 50 years. Loved it then and still love my country as much as ever. Can’t say much for the current administration and their leadership. There is only one America and there are more Americans than what you might see on the news. The majority of Americans want it back like it was when we grew up in the 50s snd60s.
So many things in the world are NOT the same as in the 50s/60s, and the dictatorial countries are more aggressive. US Teenagers are more aggressive and somehow feel justified shooting kids maybe 10 years younger than them- teenage terrorists that somehow go unchecked mentally- but are allowed to possess a firearm- and not just any firearm. It’s a sad sick world .. and one US President can’t solve it all- not without help. We don’t seem so United- anymore- do we. Wish parents had more control over their kids- like they did in the 50s and 60s.
Good days like never memories i will cherish forever when i listen to this it's like im young even for just a moment can't help but have tears in my eyes 💔
When I was Saskatoon camping with family one day , we saw this band and it became my first rock concert. I will always be a great memory. 1st bands are always the best memory
My dad wasn’t in my life and even though he wasn’t a great father whenever i hear this song it reminds of the time i did have with him when i was younger brings back good memories.
Six string finger style guitar has this song on RU-vid and Notes and tap what a beautiful song. I’m gonna learn how to play it because I’ve always loved this song and this is a beautiful finger style version of this song. Thanks so much six strings I appreciate your music, please put more credence Clearwater revival on your list of songs😀🎸👍🏼🎼
Yeah, like bad Moon rising. How about who stop the rain. Green River. Proud Mary born on the Bayou. Those would all be cool songs to put on your channel. Only one thing. Don’t forget the notes on the tab.👍🏼🎸🎸🎼🎶🎵💖
I just love the way the bass guitar is in the same note but playing chops in the opossite octave. Desending the notes at the chorus....And there´s also a nod to the beginning of "Sitting at the dock of the bay", before the verses, fantastic.
This used to be one of my father's favorite songs... I really miss him here, it's a shame he left when I was 3... we're from Brazil, but he always loved this song, And I'm here, to honor him, and remember him...🥺🖤
