Hello everyone,

This months theme comes from mark_h he wrote "Its between 37C and 42C everyday here. 🥵 It’s always a furnace up in the hills and only 30c on the coast. all I can think of is wonderful cool rain! So I suggest that for this months challenge we cover a song with the word ”Rain”, in the title or lyrics."

This challenge ends on the last day of August.  Give us something to listen to. 🌧 ️ 

1) Wim VD1 playing "Black Hole Sun"

 

2) Nutty 1 playing "Have you ever seen the rain"

 

3) Watson43 playing "The story in your eyes"

"Black hole sun won't you come and wash away the rain?"

In my search for songs about rain, I came across Singing in the rain, Purple rain, It's raining men, A hard rain's gonna fall, Have you ever seen the rain,... and ended up with this one from Soundgarden.

After some weeks on acoustic, it was fun to go back to electric and play around with effects.

Thanks for listening.

Wim

Soundgarden is one of the famous grungebands from Seattle, together with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. They got a Grammy for Black Hole Sun in 1995. There is a great acoustic version by their singer Chris Cornell as well.

Thanks, Ian.

Yes, it was fun experimenting with some dissonant slide guitar for the intro and the flanger and distortion effects for the other parts.

Chris Cornell's unplugged version sounds much more harmonic than Soundgarden's original. I want to record an unplugged rendition as well.

Wim.

I have just received a message from mark_h asking me to convey his apologies to the contributors of this thread because due to a technical problem Mark can not navigate to this page (it just times out). Mark will be very busy this next month and will not have the time to work on forum technical problems.

I finished this one today, barely in time for the August challenge.  It contains the lyric "And the sunshine we've been waiting for will turn to rain".

Mandy, I have to give you a shout-out because your rendition of "Nights in White Satin" a few months ago inspired me to do a Moody Blues song.

Thanks for listening.
