Have You Ever Seen The Rain - Rod Stewart ( Cover )

"Have You Ever Seen the Rain" is a song by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival, written by John Fogerty and released as a single in 1971 from the album Pendulum (1970). The song charted highest in Canada, reaching number one on the RPM 100 national singles chart in March 1971.[3] In the U.S., in the same year it peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.[4] On the Cash Box pop chart, it peaked at number three. In the UK, it reached number 36. It was the group's eighth gold-selling single.[5] Cash Box called the song "as close to a ballad as anything from CCR."[6] In March 2023, the song surpassed one billion streams on Spotify.[7] Fogerty released a live version of the song on his The Long Road Home - In Concert DVD which was recorded at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on September 15, 2005. On the 2013 John Fogerty album Wrote a Song for Everyone, a new recording of the song featuring Alan Jackson was included.[8] For the band's 50th anniversary, Craft Recordings released an official music video to the song. Directed by Laurence Harlan Jacobs and filmed entirely in Montana, the video stars Sasha Frolova, Jack Quaid, and Erin Moriarty. In his review of the song for AllMusic, Mark Deming suggests that "Have You Ever Seen the Rain" is about the decline of the countercultural political idealism of the 1960s during the Nixon administration, in light of events such as the Altamont Free Concert and the Kent State shootings.[9] However, John Fogerty has said in interviews and prior to playing the song in concert that it concerns tensions within Creedence Clearwater Revival themselves and the imminent departure of his brother Tom Fogerty from the band. "That song is really about the impending breakup of Creedence. The imagery is, you can have a bright, beautiful, sunny day, and it can be raining at the same time," Fogerty told Rolling Stone magazine in 1993. In a 2020 interview with American Songwriter, Fogerty stated that the line "Have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day?" was inspired by the band's feelings of unease and depression at the height of their fame and commercial success. The band would ultimately split in October 1972, following the release of the album Mardi Gras.[10] In a literal sense, the song describes a sunshower, such as in the lyric "It'll rain a sunny day" and the chorus, "Have you ever seen the rain, comin' down on a sunny day?" These events are particularly common in the Deep South due to localized atmospheric wind shear effects.[11]
