Howard Devoto - Rainy Season

There's a version of this on youtube already, but it's kind of crappy. Hopefully this one will look better.
Of course, I don't own the copyright to this music video. I'm just putting it on youtube for the sake of posterity.

[@franniegolightly1]

Loved making this video! I am the girlfriend thats leaving. In real life I was best friends with his then girlfriend Laura. Howard is a great writer...what a tune.

[@peacepalestinesyria424]

you really made that video something special. I hadn't watched it in years, and remembered (every frame!.. my eyes.... remember!)

[@lordswindon104]

I often lie awake wondering how this only got to 97 in the UK chart. Fetch me the 96 better singles that week

[@WS102]

This song is an 80's masterpiece.

[@Agressiviste]

Most underrated 80's artist...

[@doosht]

What a great song and WHAT a fabulous frontman Howard is. He was really good at the Apollo in Manchester 2012 when he came on for The Buzzcocks. I was in the very front row - he was great!

[@dawntiffin9894]

I love this man, and have always done. Great song and video.

[@phellipemendes]

Always always...

[@christophemeasson5190]

So good !!

[@PaulDicks-r6e]

Heard it years ago on CFNY in Toronto, just thought I look it up and here I am. Love this song.

[@nickchristian2506]

Just found this even though I am a great admirer of Howard and Magazine since the late 70s. This is a great pop song of the times. Good on you Howard for always being original.

[@MarcLibrescu]

Please fix the aspect ratio. This is all stretched out horizontally.

[@NicBunnymen]

The entire album is awesome. Love this song. Great clip thanks for posting.

[@marcia.escritora]

I think the same

[@i-a-g-r-e-e-----f-----jo--b]

How cool is that video? Especially for the time when 90% of the videos were shit. Great tune also, I never realized he was with Magazine but then again I never heard of Magazine before just a year or so, lol. I remember this song though, loved it. Rare instance when the video does a great song justice.

[@chadbot0129]

He was also the original frontman of Buzzcocks

[@tafmanlen]

The man is a legend

[@alvinandanar7559]

This is a better version of the one that was previously uploaded. Better video and audio. Good job!

[@hughbetcha436]

That shrubbery was made to injure Howard!😆

[@angiejaxx5]

41 years and I still know all the words 😄 Who’s listening in 2024?

[@EndingSummerwithRalph]

This video gets better each time I watch it, making me cry, lol.

[@phellipemendes]

Don't cry. You are strong!

[@simonmoore2380]

Trust VH1 to get it slightly wrong. "Jerky Versions of THE dream" not "A dream". But despite that, one of my all time favourite tracks.

[@nodroGnotlrahC]

Beautiful song, beautiful video, but AAAAAAAAARGH!!!! The Aspect Ratio Is Wrong. Please, please, please, add yt:stretch=4:3 to the tags for the video. That will fix it. :-)

[@IsaacAtterbury-pz4bb]

I like this song

[@charlesmcwilliam5785]

thank you for the memories.Great album too, cheers for the post

[@steveglazer4966]

KROQ Again!

[@alexisgomez3015]

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

Odd seeing Howard with so much hair. Is this is essential as his work with Magazine? No - but - it's quite a good pop song.

[@gorflunk]

Thanks. This one's a classic.

[@NicBunnymen]

FANTASTIC

[@paulbeardsley4095]

Does anyone in the world apart from me think of Kevin Landwaster from the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant when they hear this song?

[@TheMediaHoarder]

"Hopefully this one will look better"? Uh, no, it doesn't, because it has an annoying VH1 Classic logo on it, it's stretched out to 16x9, and the sound is in MONO! Try again!

[@SoulStylistJukeBox]

What an unnecessarily shitty comment.

[@johnstevengoodlad7260]

one of your weakest songs. but hey, who can argue with you.. Back to Nature , Burst , because ur frightened, parade... the list goes on. oh, and give me everything .... love the Tony Wilson nuts beginning.

[@c.i.z.recordings8325]

Artists in love. Always captivating, even when it's over.

[@phellipemendes]

I listened to this song on WXB 102 radio and since then I have not stopped listening. Sensational. It reminds me of my father and my mother.

[@aurik9726]

They just don't make music like this anymore. I want the 80's back, that decade had some of the best music!

[@rubyemanuel9902]

cool umbrella

[@johnstevengoodlad7260]

sorry howard I love you, but you look like alan partridge x x x

[@javiert4663]

80 s = belle epoque

[@martinquarton184]

Great album. Saw him live at The Blue Note club in Derby.

[@ColdKonigsdorff]

hahahaha kurwa swietna jakosc !!! :D

[@alanollier9683]

Howard , responsible for two of My favourite bands, not to say I dont' love the direction Pete took Buzzcocks in, this is from a brilliant album.

[@markcolonna6874]

Alan Ollier Only 2?? Buzzcocks Magazine And the best till last- Luxuria!

[@ebort100]

This song takes me back to my loved eighties..

[@FoivosLoxias]
