Savatage - Handful Of Rain (Official Video Clip)

Official Video Clip - Handful of Rain - Savatage
Lyrics:
The night is growing dark
From somewhere deep within
It shelters like an ark
That always takes you in
The barmaid walks on over
And pours another round
For a lost soul at the corner
Who prays he's never found
And the mind goes numb
Until it's feeling no pain
And the soul cries out
For a handful of rain
Wash your women
In your Whiskey
When your future's
In the past
And your staring
Up at heaven
From the bottom
Of a glass
And you need some insulation
From the years you've
Had and lost
And you feel the perspiration
As you're adding up the cost
And the night rolls on
Like a slow moving train
And the soul cries out
There's a land beyond the living
There's a land beyond the dead
If it's true that God's forgiving
Of the lives that we had led
In the distance there's a thunder
And the air is thick and warm
And the patrons watch with wonder
The approaching of the storm
And the night rolls on
Like a slow moving train
And the soul cries out
For a handful of rain
There's an old man in the corner
And he's smoking all the time
An the smoke is drifting upward and it's
Twisting in my
Twisting in my
Mind
In my mind
The whiskey's getting deeper
And I use it like a moat
There's a blues man in the distance and he's
Lost inside his
Note
His note
The night is growing dark
From somewhere deep within
It shelters like an ark
That always takes you in
And the night rolls on
Like a slow moving train
And the soul cries out
For an handful of rain

Anyone Who Disses Savatage Isn't a True Metal Fan. These Guys Are Geniuses. They Don't Just Write and Record, They Put Thought into their Work.

[@alexsaucedo8032]

Amen TO that 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

so anyone who disses this mediocre pretty boy band is not a true metahead?fuck off.fucking poser

Anyone who disses Savatage has never really listened to them. Best band ever. Extremely underrated but it’s kinda nice having them all to myself. Muhuhuhahahahahaha!!!!

[@drew65sep]

Yup... revisiting these dudes for the um-teenth time lol. Loved these guys since the eighties when I got my hands on an "illegal as hell" import LP...good stuff. (I guess that this was their required ballad the recording companies bitched about before they'd talk to em)

[@jeffs4760]

I'm 56 and growing up with 80's metal through high school it took me this long to listen to these guys?!! This song rocks! I went down a rabbit hole actually and Skolnick led me here after watching some live Testament! I'm going to have to listen to the whole album now.

[@ronhenry2025]

53 And while I have been a long term fan of Savatages radio played stuff and TSO, I never looked down into the rabbit hole until today. Seriously WTF is wrong with the Radio Stations to not have been playing vast amounts of Savatage since their inception and choking us with everything else? Really? We suffered Grunge in place of this exquisite sound from these Metal Masters and that really pisses me TF off. RIP Criss and Dawn.

[@tyharris9994]

Another band a lot of people missed was Warlock. Didn't get radio play or MTV but Triumph and Agony was one of the best metal albums of the 80's.

[@MyParaGuide]

You probably know Gutter Ballet but didn't notice that it is from Savatage. Epic song.

Saw him, some years ago, playing an intimate jazz concert in a little church in my city with 2 others great musicians. Of all the shows I’ve seen in my life, this one was by far the best! Alex is an extraordinary person, both human and musical.

[@obrand690]

One of the only band where moving to a new singer was actually a great move. Not only Jon was able to focus on his genius writing but also singing on albums with Zach, so it is the only band I know where you can find 2 insane singers.

[@andreim.5324]

Survivor is another very good band that had two very good singers in Dave Bicker and Jimi Jamison. Also, AC/DC had Bon Scott and Brian Johnson. They are not metal bands necessarily, but you know what i mean :) Also, i totally agree with what you said regarding Zak and Jon Oliva. My fav Savatage albums are Hall Of The Mountain King and Edge Of Thorns.

Marketing, sadly. Back in the day, my friends & I listened to some of the main stream stuff, but mostly stuff few people had heard of. People in my high school were always like, who the fuk is this band your listening to, lol.

[@s4lroachclip]

These are the real masters of metal. Thankfully, I have been listening to Savatage since Hall of the Mountain King, where, even then, I was late to discover them. TsO is great too, but i wish they had not ended Savatage for it. But it made John happy to move on so I guess it is what they needed to do. I should mention circle to circle as well... This singer performs so great in live shows. RIP Chris Oliva. Friend of mine let Alex play his guitar one time, pretty cool. Bay area. What is Jon doing after leaving TSO?
