David Gates - Suite: Clouds and Rain

[@robertocanales4751]

J s bach and all composers and artists since the creation of love for love couldn't not ever come up with the most incredible work of art of all times. David gates must be a tru angel. !!!!!!

[@coversbymark1379]

After all these years, it still blows me away!

[@adolfopalcon1177]

Brilliant composition and rendition. David Gates, you’re a genius!!!

Hermosa canción, me hace llorar al recordar a mi madre

[@carolannemcphee7776]

I heard this song about 15 year ago driving home from a job in South England to Scotland...it made me feel happy that I was going home to see my wife and kids .....it felt never ending and I had to sink the shoe on the accelerator to get home faster..it made me feel love and joy ...how music hits i guess..❤

[@Tobiasborquez]

En éste momento hay lluvia, viento, truenos y relámpagos en Santiago de Chile, es imposible no escuchar ésta maravillosa canción ante tan hermoso espectáculo de la madre naturaleza. Un abrazo con mucho amor para todos.

[@emeliamay6327]

My grandad played this at his funeral &it has the most beautiful message in xxx

[@Mary7Sheyla]

We are just lighting beens in this world ❤

[@michaelbutcher3563]

First released in 1974 and i heard a bit of it on TOTP but they didn't play it all. It's not just track, it's a piece of music, a suite, as people call it. My only wish is that everyone in this whole wide world could hear it, and appreciate it for what it's worth.

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

I remember hearing this on a cassette taped from the radio in 1981 along with other great songs. This is my first time listening to it in over 43 years. It’s “Prog AOR” I take it!

[@grahamcole1539]

I purchased the Single edit of Clouds when it was released in 1973 after hearing it on the radio. Still sounds beautiful today and this long album version expands it....

[@leafarmend]

Era la noche de un 18 de diciembre de 1981, puse la radio y allí tenía un cassette listo para grabar. En la radio Juventud 840, colocaron la versión corta, pero la grabé desde que comenzó presintiendo que era una gran canción. Además pensaba en una chica de quien en ese entonces estaba enamorado a mis 15 años. Luego del año siguiente, ella se mudó y nunca mas supe de su vida. Hasta que en septiembre de 2019 supe de modo casual a través de Facebook que ella había muerto un mes antes. Tooodos esos años que anhelé verla de nuevo, siempre que escuchaba Clouds, la recordaba. Y ahora más

[@jennapuhl596]

I was 13 when this song came out1973

[@marcelosoto1030]

Gran historia y una lástima lo que pasó con ella.

[@michaelre3781]

Back in 1973, the radio only played an abbreviated version of this masterpiece song; and, it never got the airplay it deserved.

[@pattyhaley9594]

Yes, I was 12 and didn't hear this song until two years ago

[@Mary7Sheyla]

Esta canción se publicó cuando yo asistía al 3er grado de junior high school. Nunca la ponían completa en la radio. Apenas vengo a escuchar por completo esta verdadera joya. David Gates me parece un gran ser, en un mundo pequeño para tanta creatividad que el señor Gates junto con su esposa Rita poseen y que aún hoy nos deleita . Gracias por compartir esta maravillosa historia dimensional creada en una canción 🎵❤🎶 🙏

Esta canción me remonta a mi niñez,... cuando grababa canciones de la radio con una radio cassette.

[@joannewright5589]

I first heard this song driving up north to the Laurentiens in Montreal to meet my boyfriend. I was 14….45 years later it still hits me in the gut. So beautiful!

[@realbuster55]

This song...... its breath taking ... its a masterpiace.... It makes me sad... i Wish i could share this whit the world.... i mean.. i know that, taste in music is subjective..... but still... how can you not like this song.... its epic...

It is one of these songs you never forget! Even now, more than forty years after bring me to tears!

Like the instrumental and the effects. So emotional. Close your eyes if you listen this song create emotionally and tears dropped.

Great tune and beautiful video; haven't heard this one in decades--I'd forgotten how gorgeous it is. David Gates has been so underrated as a musician and he's a damn good one...

[@karakorum2007]

Claro, por eso se llama SUITE, una pieza compuesta de varias líneas melódicas y solos de instrumentos.

[@fabiolaalvarez5793]

Como no recordar a mi amor aquella mañana camino a la playa en donde sentimos que el mundo era nuestro bailando éste tema en una mañana nublada de playa,fue el mejor recuerdo que me dejaste, aún recuerdo cuan felices nos sentíamos.

I love this song. Ken Bruce played it sometime ago on Radio 2. It's so dreamy, takes me back to my younger days. David Gates is such a great artist.

[@johno4521]

That's where I first heard it !!! I can remember exactly where I was at the time.... I always wonder if this is where Jeff Lynne got the idea for 'Concerto For A Rainy Day'...

que lindo tema y musica, recuerdos de mi juventud por allá por el año 1990.........

[@genevieve1963]

I was 14 in 1977 when one of my classmates died in a hunting accident. It was the first time I heard this amazing heart wrenching song. I always wonder what David was feeling and thinking when he wrote it.

[@pattyhaley9594]

It is about his time away from home and spending so much time on airplanes.

[@RobertJohnson-zg6bc]

When I want to collect my thoughts from time to time I think of this song and how beautiful it is. David Gates voice perfectly compliments the orchestral arrangement along with the piano that has a melancholy feel to it. Indeed Clouds and Rain is a masterpiece as it neither dates and after 40 years still sounds relevant.

[@saturnsongs]

I have played this Masterpiece endlessly for more than 40yrs. It has always been my favorite song. You should listen to "The Chosen One". It's a beauty as well.

[@johnpaulsulabo]

THERE SO MANY SONG THAT REALLY GOOD THAT I NEVER DISCOVER. HOPE I WILL HEAR THOSE. IF I COULD BACK IN TIME. THOSE DAYS ARE GOLDEN.

[@crokobos]

I try not to listen too much to this because I never want to loose the feelings, right now it still makes me shivver and cry

[@LuisLopez-xx2db]

Definitely I haven't any doubt , this song is his major success.

[@frugihoyi]

How is it possible that I never heard this song before or even heard of this artist? I guess it's slightly before my time, but still I've lived 37 years in ignorance.

i sooo love this song! i feel am adrift the clouds when listening to it.. one of the best of david gates.. he sings with his heart.

[@Zeppolino100]

The section that is so mesmerizing for me comes from 4:54 to 5:36. One of those moments I'll never forget is flying back from upstate New York to Gainesville, Florida after interviewing for my first full time teaching job, humming this song to myself as we made our landing approach, coming back to my then girlfriend (now deceased). That was 1977.....

[@larryshackley8074]

That's one of my favorite spots too, but the song has so many great sections. I think this is his masterpiece.

this song ..no wait it's not a song its a musical orgasm reminds when i was a young kid who listens to a fairytale told by my father or mother... that feeling i had when i first listened this beautiful piece of music

[@mannuelvergara7618]

See the clouds adrift so far below Everchanging as they come and go Makes me wonder why I'm up so high When really I am down so low Of all the wonders I was one allowed I think that I would always choose a cloud Always brings my feelings right out loud Whether I'm ashamed or proud On this airplane comin' home to you Sometimes I think I've flown my whole life through My whole life... through As I wing my way to you See the clouds they're giving life below In colors that the canvas cannot show Keeping secrets no one else could know For I'm the one who told them so Now and then I get up close to you I'd like to stay but I'm just passing through So I'll have to say goodbye... Until next time I fly. (interlude) Make my bed-light the light Comin' in on the midnight flight Touch the ground and soon you will be Safe inside reality Change your mind-change your name Still the music it sounds the same Rainfall don't bother me at all You see the world reflected on the highway Come on rainbow-I can't let you go Before I reach the end of you someway So the next time raindrops fall If it makes you climb the walls just think of green.

[@stchan7061]

[@guillermoquezada6900]

Quien la escucha en estas estaciones de Julio.esta canción transmite todas tus emociones,de la lluvia, la calma y la tempestad… cosas tan inexplicables para sentirla en un oído … sientes que ya todo está mal. Pero sientes el levantón de decir,vas a volar a otra nube sintiéndote en ella, piensas y reconoces cómo se llama, la entiendes. Y dices lluvia tonta por qué lo hiciste. Pero después te abraza con esa tonalidad de tranquilidad… y te llega algo que te hace sacar todo de ti. De seguir adelante y seguir tu camino apesar de todo.sientas calma y seguir escuchando las gotas…
