The Alarm - Rain In The Summertime

[musikgal17]

I saw them when they came over to Toronto directly from Wales, in a little dive called "Larry's Hideaway". I was entranced by them. They all stood at the front of the stage in unison and had such a presence!!!!

[dannypmc2001]

Unfortunately their U2 associattion failed as Joshua Tree went mega and there seen as imposters...eye of the hurricane is a good lp

[rockfreak611]

got to perform with mike last september. very humbling and all around great guy!

[brucedanton]

This is a wonderful song-the only pity here though, is that this version is too short and cuts off too soon at the end!

There is a longer version on You Tube, check that out-it is much better!

Thank you for the posting though-well done!

[dreampolice65]

this is a great song ..indeed

[tubellarbells]

What a great song. An all-time classic.

[JackieP1978]

They were decent,a good band.

[Jabbafumi]

The Alarm, The Welsh answer to U2. The CD was Electric Folklore Live - best CD ever.

[Filmation77]

a really great forgotten band..

[rynocool23]

Love this song...reminds me of good times!

[SearchedForTheTruth]

i was like dropping in my dad's car and sometimes i steal his older cds and he was listening this and i was like I WANNA LISTEN THIS WHOLE CD luckily it was the live edition... this band is amazing :P

[deathbladez13]

I remember first hearing this on an old cassette tape my mom had. Love it.

[msannomalley]

Loved this song then, still love it now. Timeless song.

[bcage44]

The vocals are very similar to bonovox...takes you back...

[PleaseGoAway1000]

[Absolutemusica1]

[jcdixon97]

@listenheredc

Yep. They say he wrote the lyrics down with nothing but a piece of paper, and a pen, in the summertime, while it was raining.

[listenheredc]

is that MacGyver?

[1cullylfc]

Check my buddy out singing with them 'dave west the alarm' he's quality fair play

[dutchvideochannel]

[JOLENE2008]

[ZoraHalo]

Aww! Mike was SUCH the uber-alterna-hottie of our day!! Soaking wet = even nicer. <3

I miss & love the hair, too-- but just wait, the spiked style will be back in 2 years or less. All fashion is recycled.

[randombobtoo]

Bloody hell i'd forgotten about this.... killed my walkman playing this when i was in 6th form.....

reminds me of being optimistic...

top banana....

[RockSpiritTV]

Amazing, beautiful band. Thank God for The Alarm.

[skeleman1963]

they don't make music like this anymore......thank god i grew up in the 80's!!!!!

[rowdymax1]

"Sold Me Down The River" is another great rave-up by The Alarm...good stuff from 1986.

[rowdymax1]

McGyver???? wow....

[stoneyxp]

i <3 their hair, it's so awesome =)

[absdabs2000]

Mike Peters is an an amazing man. He has survived leukaemia twice and carries on doing loads of work for charity/ I am so pleased to have met him. What a guy.

[spikelive]

Great song great band.....a mix of Simple minds and U2....the video remind me to Simple minds video ,Alive& kicking!

[Skyhawkandre]

I don't care what your english peoples say's i just love this when i was younger and happy someone put it on utube

[kameelionmusic]

What a tune....

[Ekis86]

His voice sounds like a mix between bono and sting

[say1161]

@Ekis86

Mike Peters does an acoustic gig every year on summit ofSnowdon (mountain in North Wales for non-UK folks) which is well recieved.

[jbaumhauer]

MULLETS!!!

[TheSanityInspector]

@jbaumhauer  Fear the mullet.

[jtmichaels]

yes...and i LOVE the look! one of my favorite songs ever!

[autocook16]

3 people don't like rain in the summertime 8-/

[autocook16]

Everyone says the lead singer looks like MacGyver. And what about the guitar player...isn't he the kid from the movie 'Iron Eagle'?

[DeeCeeCT]

An absolute SCORCHING vocal by Mike Peters! Highly under appreciated band.

[TheFarSideOfParadise]

Anni stupendi, gli '80... Amazing era, the '80's...

[tonlas70]

indeed, it's a great song.... nothing compares the new wave songs...

[tonlas70]

indeed, it's a great song....

[bigguedo]

Great song...

[lurch321]

I love The Alarm.....................and I also love to feel the rain in the summertime.

[karrongeiger]

Lead singer has an incredible voice...

[lopro091]

BAD ASS TUNE!!

[FOXRIDERCHEVROLET]

sounds like u2 to me

[mcmattp]

The singer looks like a young George W. Bush. Seriously... I can see a lot of u2 similarities with this band too...

[loopingstaruk]

Great song but my God ......... That hair !!!!! :-) Mike Peters is a great frontman - he's been doing a great job singing for Big Country too

[thelangoliers]

Darn that MacGyver. He can sing, too.

[CeciliaNicoletti1]

No todo es mierda en esta mundo...

[survivorproject]

New Wave will always be NEW : )

[seattlejayde]

Does anyone know where this video was filmed? What an absolutely awesome song!

[BerlinFan82]

His voice is spot on, the live version is incredible.

[sasinihsani]

We hit it off so well after another visit busizz4me.info



[SkankExpose]

[yamunaperara]

I wish to thank you so much in your help in this matte busizz4me.info

[Bunzypoo]

Louder please!

[fermix72]

Song age 88

[Geo69xr]

Remember seeing them at the Orpheum in 87 or was it 85 ?? LOL Im showing my age

[adam1mc]

Thumbs up if anyone else heard this on Warren Millers Black Diamond '93

[mikeanelson]

Great song. Hey Bieber...Why don't you carry these guy's suit cases for a few years and learn something? Great band, and one of the best lead singers ever.

[gillo69]

@mikeanelson Indeed FANTASTIC!!! Mike's Singin with Big Country now for their new tour, check em out!!

[jbaumhauer]

@mikeanelson

Maybe you should ask Bieber how he became widely popular, rich and successful. I'm guessing it wasn't through mad critic skills.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you are not any of these things, not even a suitcase carry person for The Alarm.

[mikeanelson]

@jbaumhauer A suitcase carry person? I think you mean't to say sky-cap, bell hop, or door man. Be sure to write me back when Bieber is 22 years old, burnt out, and a bunch line to an endless parade of jokes.

[jbaumhauer]

@mikeanelson No. I meant suitcase carry person. As in a person whose sole function is to carry suitcases (non-gender specific.) Justin Bieber has enough money that he doesn't need to have stereotypically named servants. By the way, why the irrational hatred of J. Bieber? Not that I have any love of Bieber. I just think you are missing the point that Bieber is doing a fine job of providing his form of entertainment which has little to do with the Alarm and their fans. And what's a "bunch line?"

[MegaDucky26]

@mikeanelson You are so right. :-)

[brucedanton]

Many thanks for the posting-a great song indeed! This is one of the Alarm's best songs without doubt I feel.

[Snoopydude13]

Justin Baby ad before the song? WTF Talk about a huge slap in the face to McGyver !!

[Gary280276]

for years I was trying to remember this Song and who sang it, over 15 years worth the wait, and it was played on a local Radio out of the blue, Awesome then and still is, and will never sound out dated

[FStewartIII]

awesome song brings me back to the 80's

[aarcudaman]

one of the best songs frm the Alarm!! problem is i can't turn it up any louder.needs more volume

[triplecrownquest]

Amazing 

[budmanfl69]

still better sound than u2 don't care what anyone says

[schlabresfan]

more like George W

[ItMustBtheBunnies]

I miss good music, I mean really good music like we used to here on the radio, like the music The Alarm us to make.

[Haasenpad]

"I was watching the video thinking MCGYVER!" exactly....

[davidvalen]

Great Song and Great Video...10

[4810xmarks99]

I was watching the video thinking MCGYVER.....and looked down and the single post reads Mcgyver. This smells a lot like the doings of MacGruber? Great song by one of TVs greatest By-the- seat- of -his -pants,jury -rigging action heros.

[mgmmcdowell]

@4810xmarks99 I was thinking McGyver as well. Great song!

[U2RULZ]

mcgyver ??
