This was playing over the house stereo the first time I walked on the stage at Tipitina's in new Orleans. I'd lost my mom a few months before and that night was like redemtion. To hear this song in that moment, it was like a vessel for all my emotions of loss and renewal. I fucking LOVE rbbs.

I first heard this song in 1997. I've been searching for it ever since. 14 years. searched for "I remember the rain coming down." when it should have been "I remember seeing the rain coming down." Search engines kept giving me Creadence Clearwater. Finally... here in 2011, Google became sophisticated enought to give me this link. And the song is as good as I remember. Thanks Google

I know the original band split up. Does anybody know what side projects they went on to do? Just curious. I have all of Robert's albums but his one - was the best! I wish the whole gang was together..they had a terrific sound.

great song; great in concert!

[mrrybread]

Still one of my all time Fav's. Wish they were still together - great records and great live show.

Reminds of the first time I flew into LA, seeing all of those lights, and taking the bus all the way across downtown all the way to Hermosa Beach. Love this tune.
