I'm a die hard country fan, 64 years old and a fan from age 7, but when I heard the Mavericks, I was blown away. I could not stop listening to them, got all of their CDs, and still want more. I love the mixture of country with the Latino sound. Hey, Johny Cash had horns on one of his records, and Bob Wills had a 16 piece band with lots of horns, so its not so unheard of.
I remember on Friday July 21, of 95 it was my 11 Birthday. I remember I was upstairs in my room at Mom and Dad's and that afternoon I saw this video on CMT.
They're still great, but I miss Nick Kane... Jesse is good but few players can rival Nick. Reason for him going away is pretty messed up. Google it. It's a short but good read!
A melody that stays in your head. I only heard this a couple of times when it came out. Yet for years and years I’ve whistled it when the weather is changing at work. A delight to hear it again in it’s full glory.
This song was always a big part of my life! So much emotion and everything I have lived thru.. like so many others!! Yet we find the strength to move on!!
One of my favorite songs of theirs that brings back some great memories for me. I used to hear this on the radio a lot throughout the mid 90's. Miss the days when bands with this kind of sound could get on country radio.
I was laid-up in Frankfurt Germany nursing a self inflicted sore head when i first heard this on 'American Forces Radio'.Must be 25 years ago now and still love it
I also remember that Iowa's Best Country Kix 101 radio played this song back in the Summer of 95. The lead singer Raul Malo sings and sounds like Roy Obison. I miss The Mavericks. Whatever happened 2 them?
Fantastic. I've seen Mavericks , a couple of months ago in Vancouver. They are amazing and Raul Malo........I don't know how many of so called rock or pop stars can do what this guys does with his voice. Just amazing. I love you guys. Music for the soul.
I saw the Mavs in Glasgow, Scotland a couple of times in the late 90s: they were absolutely superb, highly entertaining, musical. These guys ought to be millionaires.
Mavericks are what Country music should be, Dwight Yoakam would back it up. Real Mans country. And that turns Women on. Bakersfield forever. Buck Owens Forever.
This is the music business... the most evil business (argueably) that is, has been, and ever shall be. No one knows what truly ended the Mavericks run, but my guess is, it was all about popularity.
Thanks for posting-- this goes straight into my playlists. Only got into him recently by accident -wished I had discovered him earlier- What can this guy NOT sing well?
Love this version. Guitarist makes such a difference. Don't get me wrong, today's, Eddie Perez is great and I love his playing, but to me, this guitarist made the song.
I love, love, love the Mavericks. Raul has a voice like none other. I loved Robert Reynolds but he was fired‐--- sad, they were a great group and the only one that is as great now is Midland, for me at least. I don't mind the change in the musicians as Raul has the voice and somehow, it always works if he's in it! 💕 💋 🌹 rosita
@@rositachadronet6187 I think there may still be legal stuff (i.e., rights, ownership, residuals, etc.) going on between the Mavericks and Robert Reynolds. I say this, as he has never been replaced and Ed Friedland has been listed as the "touring bassist" for the past 9 years.
@@michaelquillen2679 I think Robert Reynolds, (sadly) passed away. I don't remember the song, but Raul was singing and all of a sudden turned to Robert Reynolds and said, "Get your wife out here!" and out came a young Trisha Yearwood, kissed and hugged Robert and began to sing with Raul. I loved it when they had impromptu moments and I loved Trisha then--- not so much now. I don't think Robert was the same, even though he had a drug problem, when she divorced him and got with Garth Brooks. I am almost sure that he remarried but it wasn't like with Trisha.
I'm really glad I found this vid. I haven't heard this song since I was probably still in middle school or elementary school and I never forgot it. I always liked it. Hmm...why didn't I search for this before? >.>
Here comes the night as dark as my soul One of the Raul and the Mavericks very best and that really is saying something.Raul's voice is made in heaven.Great band
This song reminds me of how I feel inside since my wife left me for a younger and richer guy. Perhaps The Mavericks felt my pain and this song is what they came up with.
This song is so well written it's just amazing. The production and performance are right on the mark. And for pity's sake, the video has a Dano Longhorn doubleneck. What's not to love?
@loverofcountry506070 I loved their mixture of old country and old rock. Raul's spannish flavored voice, Pete's cutting edge drumming, and the guitar work of Nick and Raul playing harmony. One thing that made the Mavericks sound was, since they did not have a steel guitar player, the use of horns, piano, and electric guitar two - part harmony in the place of the fiddle and steel guitar.
I remember buying my first Mavericks album back in... '91, maybe? And driving around, listening, thinking "This guy can sound like Orbison, like Dean Martin, like Elvis, like Dwight Yoakam, and still sound entirely like himself." I knew instantly he was one in a million. One in ten million. The best voice of his generation.
Your love's a heartache That's torn me apart You've watched my heart break Right from the start You took everything you wanted And now that you are gone Here comes the rain Falling down on me I'm showered in pain Nothing remains Of what used to be Here comes the night Dark as my soul There's no end in sight No shining light No love to hold Here comes the rain I must have been dreaming I must have been blind But I never thought you Could be so unkind Tomorrow I'll forget you But I can't forget you now Here comes the rain Falling down on me I'm showered in pain Nothing remains Of what used to be Here comes the night Dark as my soul There's no end in sight No shining light No love to hold Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Falling down on me I'm showered in pain Nothing remains Of what used to be Here comes the night Dark as my soul There's no end in sight No shining light No love to hold Here comes the rain
Your love's a heartache That's torn me apart You've watched my heart break Right from the start You took everything you wanted And now that you are gone (Chorus 1) Here comes the rain Falling down on me I'm showered in pain Nothing remains Of what used to be
This is terrific to do a rumba to, I've danced it many times to the record, next Sat28th Feb they are coming here to Glasgow- pity it won't be a dance hall!
+Jay Igaboo ... and they were terrific! They're a really tight band no stray notes AT ALL in the entire performance. I need to keep my ear to the ground for their next gig here.
@loverofcountry506070 I too have "fallen" for their style and talent, lovely. Only saw and heard of them the first time here on RU-vid about a month ago...
(Chorus 2) Here comes the night Dark as my soul There's no end in sight No shining light No love to hold Here comes the rain I must have been dreaming I must have been blind But I never thought you Could be so unkind Tomorrow I'll forget you But I can't forget you now
Reminds me of Heartaches by The Numbers & Lonesome Me. Darkest souls ever to be night. Ever to be destitute on lonely street. Street nice lovely of ladies swaying to the music. love is like heaven to hold.
As a rule, country music labels, country music radio and country music fans fear change. Heck, a lot of them still haven't gotten over General Lee's surrender in 1865, so God forbid anybody breaks out a trumpet to interfere with their twang.
My ears have been drowned by country music by family members :) for so long I needed a break from it. Much later now though, i'm looking back in it for specific styles. I like Dwight, and recently heard a Mavericks song 'dance the night away' on a college radio station. Brought me here looking for their other songs. :)
Esteban ElGuapo yea I love the mavericks, it's really like tex mex stuff. Really good album there best is MUSIC FOR ALL OCCASIONS but hard to find anywhere. his music with Flaco Jimenez is really awesome.
Buddy, no truer words have been spoken! I've got tickets to Dwight in May and then tickets to him and Willie in June. The single thing that could make that better is Raul Malo in concert with either one of them.
