KLEM FM

Just now was one of those moments: bright sun shining day and rain started coming down from a distant raincloud. I thought of John Fogerty.


The song is a metaphor for something but I'm not sure what.

Lyrics after the jump.

Someone told me long ago there's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been comin' for some time
When it's over, so they say, it'll rain a sunny day
I know, shinin' down like water

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yesterday and days before, sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder

I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Yeah, I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

I think the song foreshadowed his future struggles with CCR, control of his songs, the death of his brother, the concomitant depression, and all that.

Oh yeah.

I have, and I'll bet everyone on this blog gets a little wet sometimes.
