Dear friends from New Zeland you have no idea how popular this song was in Peru, 1983-1984. I remember at the parties we danced to this song many times, even on the streets my friends and I used to gather and listen to this song full loud. Thank you for such wonderful music.

I doubt it. People (especially kids my age) are badly brainwashed by music with no heart and actual talent. The mainstream have brainwashed this newer generation and it's a shame.

[@matijajelinic9575]

Mohuckmed Shishkeblob don’t know what that means but anyway, even if they were brainwashed, doesn’t mean they’d have a choice. You can’t choose not to be brainwashed but you can try to find out if you are.

[@matijajelinic9575]

Mohuckmed Shishkeblob or you don’t know its happening. Similar to political opinions for example, if someone lives under communism, their information is hidden and altered in the favour of the mentality of their country, and they could have ‘facts’ that every other country doesn’t. The people who live in that country will have been taught those facts and believe hem because that’s what they’ve been taught. Whether it’s right or wrong, they’ve been brainwashed by their educational system (and their government)

[@sophbee90]

The metaphor of rain is so powerful! It signifies darkness, grief, despair, shame, guilt... every dark emotion that we fear... But then rain can bring growth, hope, new life, new beginning, light and optimism.. This song is a beautiful paradox that allows the listener to draw their own conclusions about what the song truly means.But then evolves over time... you come to understand the deeper meaning of the song, and how it's reflected your life... What does rain truly mean to you?

[@hrvackinavijac7911]

[@PhillipLWilcher]

I worked for the Classical/Educational Division of Alberts from 1976 -1979. My office was on the 5th floor and adjoined the recording studio where Dragon recorded 'April Sun in Cuba.' I was in my late teens. There was a Steinway grand in my office, brought from Boomerang, the Albert Family mansion. Whenever I had a moment free, I would play, even compose at it. One day, I was working on a piece and looked up to see a tall young man standing at my office door listening. He had coloured streaks in his hair and wore a long flowing scarf. I signalled for him to come in. He entered, and sat down on one of the blue leather chairs by the piano. I did not know who he was. He said the music I was working on reminded him of Ravel. We spoke about French classical music. He told me he was recording with his group in the studio, and promised to visit with me again. It was Marc Hunter. At the time, and mostly because my musical interests and work at Alberts centred around classical/educational publications, I had no idea who he was. Neither did he elaborate much on himself. We just spoke as if we were friends and true to his word, whenever he was at Alberts to record, he would always visit with me, and talk about music. I would play for him. If ever we passed in the corridor outside my office, he would bow to me with a flourish and swirl of his scarf. Marc was a gentleman through and through. At one time, I gave to him a small gold crucifix simply to thank him for the times he spent with me. He was a kind and caring soul. And so elegant in how he carried himself. A true stylist. After leaving Alberts in 1979, I never really saw him again. But my memory of him was such that when decades later he died, I cried. I will still shed a tear for him from time to time. He was a good good man! Someone I will never forget.

CanzetYote I probably heard it on the radio prior a bit to warm me up though since 1992 has been in my staple top 10 comfort songs be it an existential / identity crisis, breakup, misc disillusionment even cold /flu & skined knee. A pure classic of composition, tone and delivery as far as I'm concerned. [I'm a 32 y/o Aussie]. Song at least to me has in conext same punch as Bug Audio Dynamite's Rush, Dave Dobbyn's Slice Of Heaven, v Spy v Spy's Harry's Reasons, Tumbleweed's Sundial, Hunter & Gatherers' Do You See What I See... [{( the vast range of 90s rock etc )}] and fast forward to recent era Young Blood, Grapes Upon The Vine, Slow Down {Placeholder}. You can check out these that you don't know, more ther more my own ego trip.

Peruvian here. This song was huge in Peru back in the days. Not sure if the band ever made it to Peru, but I looked up the song because I remembered the guitar riff and now I’m here.

Peaked at No. 2 on the Australian Singles Chart in ‘83 or ‘84, but only as high as No. 88 on the American Billboard Hot 100 Charts in ‘84 (though it did make it as high as No. 43 on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play Charts). Great tune.

First saw this band playing in the main drag at Wollongong on a hot summer night around 80 or 81 .After they were packing I gave the keyboard guy a beer and told him what a great band I thought they were and asked when is there next gig, he told me probably in NZ . He did not hold much hope of cracking it in OZ. Glad they hung around.
