March 31, 2016 - The Beatles - Rain (1966)


As my friend Dave sings it, 'cause I'm a Beatle and with the help of George Martin I can make it sound cooolll...' during the 'when the rain comes' part. This song has some really cool moments from Ringo and Paul; Ringo's quick rolls at :33 on 'into the shade' and at :45 in the way he extends the drum fill beyond the end of 'when the sun shines', and Paul's bass line at 1:18 during the 'I can show you' verse. And then at the end we get the 'let's play stuff backwards' moment. I always think John's vocals sound like 'still drippin on memory...' Bring on the April showers.
