Coloured Rain by Eric Burdon and The Animals

Coloured Rain by Eric Burden and The Animals

Yesterday I was a young man
Searching for my way
Not knowing what I wanted
Living life from day to day, yeah

Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain
Tastes like colored rain
Bring down colored rain
Rain, oh yeah

I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah

Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain, baby
Tastes like colored rain
Bring down colored rain
Rain, oh yeah

Bring it on down baby

(SOLO)

I can feel those colored changes
Going through my mind
United with a feeling
Bringing love into my eyes, yeah

Till she came along
There was nothing but an empty space
Not a trace
Feels like colored rain, baby
Don't you know it feels
like colored rain
Don't you know baby
Its not all the time
That the sun won't shine, baby, yeah
If you love me and you
want me to be your man,
yeah yeah
Theres one thing baby
Every woman should understand, hmmm
Without rain babe
Our love will never come to be
And if you want my sunshine
You've got to accept my
hail rain and snow
There's one thing baby
That I want you to do for me yeah
I want you to take our body close
I want you to work that up I know
Take that colored rain
Bring it down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah
Bring it on down yeah

Bring down colored rain

Can you please correct the name,, Burdon..??.thx for posting this...

[anabri08]

Thanks for catching that, embarrassing error.

Nope. Andy Summers was in the band at that point. He talks about this solo in his awesome (and hilarious) book One Train Later.

I love the original by Traffic, but i must say that this version is ok!

[lastrada52]

This is one incredible classic rock track. As big as anything The Beatles, The Stones, The Doors or The Kinks did. This is Eric Burdon's masterpiece with The Animals. This with the "Ring of Fire" intro from the same LP "Love Is." Also -- the track "I'm An Animal" from this LP -- has to be heard to be believed. Rock radio? You missed out on some big ones you idiots.

Great cover. First time ever heard this. Hard to tell whose version I like more.

[daven58100]

Probably better guitar work here than anything Andy Summers did with the Police.

that fukin bus rape my brain

[hedgerow215]

the guitar solo to match with Mike Oldfield's solo in Kevin Ayers' "Lunatics Lament".. never heard such an awesome piece of music in quite a long time. Astounding!
