Andrew White - Here Comes the Rain - www.candyrat.com

[MadMicas]

You sir, Andrew White, just sold yourself a CD

[crazytrain03]

I would put his voice up there with Peter Gabriel 

[Hye5oul]

You do it better than Bruce Springtein

[tgotthestuffx13]

This song is based entirely on the Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. it has changed my view on the book =)

[staciems21]

anyone know the chords to this?

[TCB12453]

@staciems21 Just buy the song, the tabs come along with it.

[Guit4rma]

Oh my god...that was amazing.

[ace201206]

i love this song can hear it again and again

[ace201206]

[ace201206]

שיר יפהפה

[ace201206]

beautifull a real artist



[thefudgefairy]

Once upon a time I was 16, I had the privilege of not only performing this song in harmony with Andy, but again to perform a rather interesting song, involving a chicken, 18 years later at the Waipara Folk Festival, North Canterbury.He is a New Zealander, who spent many years in the UK, then many more travelling the world. A talented singer/songwriter, original and unique....

[LunaticAssnGotzGame]

I had the pleasure of seeing Andrew play twice, once I got to talk to him and he's a true blue magnificent person. I don't think he really took a shine to me though, as I said I had almost downloaded his album (without specifying I meant 'buying' on Itunes, I realized as I walked away)... but hey, what can you do.

Bought his Power & White CD then though :)

[Artthas3]

here comes the rain dudududuuu, here comes the rain and i say, irs AAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW RIGHT

[TheReighnart]

Inspiring.

[kwasik06]

i just wana have his CD!!!!!

[2405Loli]

he's amazing.I love that song and his voice

[TheSkepticMystic]

sooooo tasty.

[tjuci87]

is there a nice man, who can write me the text? sorry, i don't understand all of the lyrics but it would be so great to know, what he sings exactly. thank u very much!

[rops2101]

Is it in standard tuning?

If not then what tuning is it?

[MartaineJr]

@rops2101 I didn't really try to understand what he plays, but by the looks of the chords it seems it's standard.

[Ramanizzler]

If this guy could get together a killer backing band he would be an awesome frontman and I can totally hear this song orchestrated and Transcribed for a whole band. It would be Sweet, But no disrespect to the genius above, and his solo talent

[sebastian6385]

if any other famous "shit" singer would sing the same song as this one im sure the views right now would be more than few millions..thats the pity in the music life..

they hear music because of a name & not because of the quality..

thanks god they r few people that still r listening with their heart..

[MadMicas]

@sebastian6385 it would matter to Andrew White, because he's a lot less rich than he deserves to be.. but I couldn't care less how many people listen to that other trash as long as I can find the good stuff

[Kendogge]

A sad mexican with a guitar, a spectacular sight indeed.

[xXConfuocoXx]

@Kendogge pretty sure he's not mexican...

[Kendogge]

@xXConfuocoXx But he's got the moustache an everything...Plus he's singing about unemployment and poverty, refering to what I assume is his son as "Hocico" or something. Regardless, this song is audibly erotic.

[jacapooo]

those 9 people who disliked... must have dyslexia or some sort of illness to flip those thumb positions...

[ThePorritZ]

can anyone tell me what he's singing at the beginning of verse 2?

i cant quite hear it

[richyrich589]

its good to see the chords i use alot can sound this wonderful. it must be nice to be able to inspire and help people progress in music, its what this song has done for me. thanks for sharing your music, it really is class A material

[DMagich]

wow cool song!love it!

[djaxup]

does anyone have lyrics for that song? it´s kind of hard to understand for me =/

[djaxup]

marvelous...so touching...

[1giuliano1]

superb voice , superb guitar play !

[ermhm]

[assepoesje]

[Crashhboy]

[Luziepuzie1992]

[ewindsor10]

Does anyone know where I can get the lyrics? I checked candyrat and I didnt see them.

[espectaculardavidrcq]

Muy bien!! me a gustado mucho, porque se nota, que vive la música!

[Guitarfreek77]

awesome song!!

[kimzarra]

I think it sounds pretty good,guitar and vocals.Dont listen to the rude comments i am sure they dont sing or play guitar.lol;

[jeroenguitar]

im sorry don't really like the singing ur guitar playing is beautifull but don't like ur voice

[r1msh0t]

[HerrMartinelli]

@r1msh0t:

greets!

[Tyr360]

The album is called Traces of Silver.

[MrJawbreaker83]

intense. really intense.

[PanterchikJul]

Какая умничка!!! )

Я просто наслушаться не могу!!! )

...балдею.... ))))))))))))))))

[i1killed2god3]

Why is the screen quality so bad Θ-Θ

[IMRKJMSBITCH]

who really cares when the music is so good

[DeathCubeK400]

because you touch yourself at night

[GodsentHellraiser]

Damn you D:

I didn't see your comment before I posted mine.

[GodsentHellraiser]

Because you touch yourself at night.

Close your eyes and listen to the music.

[HerrMartinelli]

love it....

[aaajon1994]

i havn't heard a great guitarist sing b4... awesome :) this is what the world needs not that pop shit

[bluesacoustics]

"i havn't heard a great guitarist sing b4"

obviously never heard of stevie ray vaughan

[redfender1]

indeed! He has a great voice! :o

[qqwweas]

HELL YEAH !!!

[alerevolver]

my inglish is so poor and i want to know wath this amazing artist said because i can understand all the lirics, i really love if someone sendme the lirics of this song

[milleniumsamurai]

what language do you speak?

[MartaineJr]

did something happen during his childhood that made him a story with this theme? don't get me wrong, it's an awesome song and i love it, just wondering what drove him to write it

[irafazar]

It´s my song of the last week, probably heard it 50 times minimum! And always will be hearing! No doubt, this is great, and i´m so sorry for people that don´t see that! Oh, how boring and sad their life must be, i don´t even want to imagine! What a great guy, great voice, great lyrics! Good luck, man!

[terrorstinkt]

i just can't understand why people like him didn't get famous and most of the humanity listen to shit like 50 cent and madonna or spears -.-

[cryzen]

Because people are idiots and wait to be spoon fed their pop music then when a genius comes around they either take him or her for granted or ignore them.

[sanbenja]

@cryzen I totally agree with you, eventhoug I think there's another explanation. You should ask to ''the man''! If you know what I mean

[sum41Rck]

@cryzen no, they just don;t have enough publicity. that's the sad part.

[REYCATRACHO1]

@terrorstinkt It's a matter of choice and taste friend. I hate main stream music as well, not because it's main stream and i'm an indie snob, but because it sucks. But at the end of the day people will listen to whatever makes them feel good.

[MartaineJr]

@terrorstinkt look..

i like his music. i really do, but his songs(meaning w/ lyrics) are not so very different from that of mainstream artists. he uses rather simply chords most of the time,and pretty much the same combination of chords in every song. the only things different is the lyrics, which i do like more than anything here. i can see why he doesn't get REALLY famous.

his instrumental pieces are on a whole different level though.

[12abzy12]

dont think your so spot on there: victory road, holy island, st patricks day and a few more are not standard chord songs, he finger picks largely in those ones. he's got a great ear for music and puts great compositions together. he's pretty much a folk musician, and last time i checked, most of them dont get so famous

[12abzy12]

sorry, st patricks parade........and if you aint heard greenstone waters, then check it out, aint no standard chords in that song!

[DrrTrevis]

@terrorstinkt He doesn't do it for fame or money, he does it because he loves it. Money and Fame carrys alot of difficulties/expectations/papr­azzi etc.

I'm just happy Candy Rat lets us see it through Youtube.

[Leakim0o]

@DrrTrevis but ppl like him,that gave ALL what they have to music, and get this music. Needs to get rewarded with something I think. But if he's happy or if he doenst need nothing right now..its k. The thing is that im sure much ppl like him(good ppl at music) are poors or something so.. It's a pitty

[jedikkeoma]

@terrorstinkt Dude, I think that's quite alright. If a gem like this guy gets to the mainstream people his music will get fucked. Let him work a 9 to 5 job and play gigs in the weekend. He swings the scepter in a way he does. We don't need this guy on MTV

[w00kieb0i]

@terrorstinkt i feel like they are becoming more an more popular. The candyrat group in general that is.

[kfcchicken12]

@terrorstinkt because most of humanity dont actually like music its just what they here in the car or at a club, they would never dream of listening to music as something to do

[xarzithas]

@terrorstinkt Its because people that can shape feeling and talent into a song as beautiful as this aren't willing to whore out their gift to corporations whose primary interest is making money. These artists understand that making music is about capturing human emotion wether it be love, sadness or even happiness and then convey this to other humans.

[bluesacoustics]

anyone asking for tabs should not be playing guitar. one watch of the video and you can see everything he plays. c'mon people

[dominicluke]

bit harsh.....but fair play hahhahahhaa

[metalguitar123]

word

[kennyz6979]

Respect ;D Love your Courage and Inspiration!!!!!!!!!

[Ehrerig]

from where is he?

[wylde0guitarist]

Antigonish, Nova Scotia

[eanderson89]

He's originally from Newcastle upon Tyne. Loads of Northumbrian influence in his work. Beautiful.

[danlyons45]

New Zealand at the moment, he wants to come to Oz..smart man.

[utkarobot]

nice performance

[gangsterspatula]

Does any one know if there is tabs for this song?

[Joao92]

You can buy it from the site in the description

[chillVibes]

ive been listening to candyrat artists for like 2 years now, but never bothered listening to you, i have been missing out

[dantheman151151]

Very touching messages and some beautiful metaphors. Nice work fella.

[GreatTaste]

Its so sad :[

[salvadoredelle]

Dude! great song i really like it and you have a nice rough voice that is cool...

yea! good song !

[MemphisMaiden]

Wow ! Definate a good performance ! Nice strong half sort of rough voice, good guitarwork and everything under control. 5 stars from me ! Regards, Anna.

[bballerphil]

[britneeirenebenson]

[Butcherguitars]

..."the only messiah is a handful of grain..." politicians; "dont take away our hunger, take away your greed."

[victoriaonevictoria]

[elborio]

[Imzagg]

This song just made tears run down my cheeks...... What more is there to say?

Fucking breath taking!

[Regicide1990]

an antithesis of 'here comes the sun'?

[misterno45]

mr White j'aime beaucoup moins quand vous "gueuler"c'est inutile

un fan quand meme

[ClocloTheKillerClone]

y gueule meme pas.

c pour ajouter de l'emotion.

[aurynnyrua]

[Orpheusdawn]

"There is no messiah but a handful of grain"

...I'm awestruck.

[aeast17]

Instant fan here... Thanks Youtube!

[spywere27]

Very, very, amazing song....

..."Here comes, here comes the rain!"

[abhi1289]

[0Tucker]

wow i didnt know he sings but he is really good at singing too!

[prsshred39]

one word: emotion

thats what makes this song so much better than almost all other on here

the chorus is just awe inspiring

[dragunovasta]

no more word needed for this song except one 'GODSENT'..

[Myko1411]

I like his voice und how he is playing guitar. fantastic emotions ... great!

[musicmick87]

amazing! So much emotion in his voice. Here comes the raaaiiin!

[supermans4l]

candyrat records is like the justice league of music....

andrew white, nicholas barron, andy mckee, antoine dufour, craig d'andrea, dean magraw, steffen schakinger....there all so amazing

[LoafofCat]

Ahem, Don Ross.

[supermans4l]

of course the Don himself, i didnt realize he even needed a mention

[BigBroMike]

Hey! This is about Grapes of Wrath! I just had to do a huge freakin school report on that book. Haha thats kinda cool, very good song.

[Vtx73]

great job

[DaDooM88]

these 28k views are just a terrible insult for this performance.cheers

[jhurstirish]

I Don't undestand why people like you waste time posting garbage like that?And I don't understand why I'm responding.But what I do know is,you need to go back to watching your high school musical video's and save the text space for an intelligent comment.Stop following trends and use youtube for something good like educating yourself not spaming.OPEN YOU MIND QUADE !!!!! OPEN YOUR MIIIIIND!!!

[jhurstirish]

tagraz, what kinda fuckin asshole are you?

[soderstrompeter]

allmost all of his song is in the same chords and melody but he make something who do the songs so diffrent , thats what I call talent!

[Tagraz]

Hey, lets spam all his videos with the same sentences!

[zeppelinrain07]

one of the best voices ive heard in a while... great songs

[caylin689]

love it

[brownString]

as i sayed. i jusyt got little probs at some small parts.

[brownString]

i really love this song and heard it bout 100 times now :)

now i wantet to try it on my own.. i already found the chords on my own, it wasn´t too difficult, but i got some probs with the lyrics.. and also cant find them anywhere... need help!!!

[RileyBrady]

either buy his tab or listen to the video and write down the lyrics :/

[brownString]

i just got some problems with his pronounciation in some parts of the song.. on 2:02 for example

[ElSombreroNegro]

sharon, she's in labor, no milk to keep her strong

[thehoeser]

Can you honestly not understand the lyrics? I've been preforming this song myself for a while now and didn't find it hard at all to just get the lyrics from watching this video.

[andrewwhitemagic]

Ruthy go get your brother go and get some wood we got to build a fire get some warmth god if only we could find a place to settle a place that's warm and dry maybe we got a chance children don't you cry. Well pa and the boys are restless they'd do any work they could but there's 50 to do the work of 10 and the money it aint no good 20 cent an hour won't buy a loaf of bread if the winds of fortune don't change in a week we'll all be dead. here comes the rain etc etc..

[0212c]

first time hearing this guy was on the radio in my old 85 caprice. i was captivated.

amazing man he is.

[clodalmighty]

what a song! go goddamn epic!

[rugermkiii]

Everytime this song builds up, it forces me to inhale and clench my teeth. So much emotion!

[DaDooM88]

i watched this about 20 times and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaah i reaaalllllllllllly want to be able to perform this song like him... its just so impressing and amazing and touching and pure perfection.

[kerozenix]

Here Comes the Rain, amazing :D Too bad I can't buy your CD here in sweden :(

[FunkerPunkerJunker]

@ kerozenix:

you can. you can buy the download version on the candyrat homepage.

[zeldasbiggestfan]

This fucking song. It's so amazing. Anytime it rains here (which has been alot lately) I yell "HERE COMES! HERE COMES THE RAIN!!" lol

[JohnsonGetDown]

I was listening to this song when it started raining...was great, the feelings tumbling in me

[maspmdw]

wow... all i have to say.

[benhust]

great song and great vioce, i feel alot of Bob Dylan influence?

[K1LL14N]

He's just a man with a hat, no offence, I think the man AND the hat are super awesome :P but he plays and he sings so fierce in this song!

and with Traces Of Silver he sings so soft and delicate..

Love it!

[797763]

Some Beatles influency? Great!

[MikeDevaney]

I can't stop watching this and running major scales over it. It just feels so right. Mr. White, I absolutely love it.

[96melliott]

im doing the exact same mate, brilliant!

your spot on, its sounds so right!

[zeevnah]

this is so beautiful!

[MikeDevaney]

(looking around, finger wandering aimlessly over controls......)damn, no repeat button so I have to do it manually. Awesome tune.

[reggeafairy1337]

google it

[HungarianGuitarist]

I want to understand the lyric but sometimes it hard to me.... my english not too good... can I find somewhere andrew's lyrics??? :S

[conamilla]

Andrew White you're great and I like your hat like it is. from New Zealand, that is if I can speak 4 all 3 of us :-)

[MrJT1990]
