Clouds move in
From off the horizon
Feels like nighttime
In the middle of the day
And I don't know why
But it's still so suprisin'
How a love grows stronger
Or it just fades away

But you look older today
Than I've ever seen you
I think I know the reason
We might wash all our tears away
But you got to bundle up baby
For the rainy season

I hear you breathing heavy
On the telephone tonight
I can feel the air is thick as thieves
Sometimes I just want to tell you
We'll be all right
At least that's what some part of me believes

But you look older today
Than I've ever seen you
Think I know the reason
We might wash all our tears away
But you got to bundle up, bundle up, bundle up
For the rainy season

Oh, oh I've been holding on so long
Holding on and holding on so long
Oh, oh I've been holding on so long
Won't you bundle up baby
Could you bundle up, bundle up, bundle up
For the rainy season

And still true. We need to do more rain dances.

I'm pretty sure and she's playing the slide as well.

Marc Cohen and Paul Weller should get together and make music. Both sound so similar.

Maybe these rain-theme songs will be the juju we need for some rain here in NorCal. We need it, badly.

Saw Marc play at Union Chapel, Islington North London UK in August 2017 - fantastic performance, superb artist.

Hey Bill!

How about the Howard Devoto song by this title? - it kills!

 
I'll second that - no Devoto, no Magazine no joy.

Wow, I remember this, it's Seattle's theme song, yet, Seattle people cut through rain like a warm knife through butter.
Even in a down-pour, Seattle folks look like they are walking through a light mist...

Such a nice set Bill has going here
Posted 13 years ago by dedawson    [ Reply ]
I love how Bonnie Raitt is able to appear on a track like this and not upstage the main artist.  That's a true pro.

Ha! When I first glanced at this, it looked like you wrote "Wanking in Memphis", and I couldn't agree more. This is much better. A very professional musician with peerless production and wonderful backing. Manufactured and packaged soul, but sometimes a fast food burger really hits the spot.

This is pretty high praise in a land walked by Giants.

Thanks RP for turning me on to this (and many other) song(s).

Oooo Bill, how about some Little Feat....please.   I like this little ditty.

Even if that is true, that doesn't mean it is very good.

I can't past the cheesy pop production. I have a soft spot in my heart for Marc Cohn - I bought his first album and this one too. But it is hard to listen to this song now without wincing a bit.

Sounding almost like Leon Russell - and what do you know - Leon Russell (It's a Hard Rain Gonna Fall) is next in line.   Bill - how do you do that - its just brilliant.{#Whistle}
Posted 15 years ago by ejsamuel    [ Reply ]
Sounds like she's playin' a little slide too. Sounding good it's got that Little Feat feel.

I wouldn't say "puke," but it's sorta ho-hummy bluesy. The music is good, but I think that the vocals are a little melodramatic.

I would recognize Bonnie Raitt's slide guitar anywhere.

EXACTLY. This song is entirely deserving of its luscious production. 90s bluesy pop was never done better. MM13 wrote:

What's wrong with your ears? Sounds nothing like Bolton to me.Bolton never sounded this relaxed and funky.

The only thing more depressing than the rainy season is this song. C'mon. Barf.
