Early Morning Rain (sometimes Early Mornin' Rain) is a song composed and recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot. The song appears on his debut album Lightfoot! (1966) and in a re-recorded version on the 1975 compilation Gord's Gold. It has also been covered by other noted artists.
Lightfoot composed the song in 1964, supposedly inspired by seeing off a friend at the Los Angeles airport some years previous. The lyrics suggest someone down on his luck, standing by an airport fence and observing the thunderous takeoff of a Boeing 707 jetliner. The general narrative of the song can be taken as a sort of jet-age musical allegory to a hobo of yesteryear lurking around a railroad yard, attempting to surreptitiously board and ride a freight train.
Covers
The Canadian husband and wife duo Ian & Sylvia were the first artists to release the song—there would be over a year's time lag between Lightfoot's recording and its release. Other versions were recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary, Harry Belafonte, Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, the Grateful Dead, Judy Collins and more recently Eva Cassidy, Paul Weller, and Moxy Früvous.
This cover has been arranged and performed by Massy in the "Panoramic Studio" in Ancona (Italy).
