tower of power (some days were meant for rain. (full version)

[@mykeonthemove]

Google the lyrics of this song and follow along with the recording. The poetry of the words is timeless. "Some days were meant for rain" feels like he's saying that even in the pain of love, some things are necessary to wash away the hurt that results from it including the honest feeling and actions of those who do not truly share in the love we feel for another. This is songwriting as it should be: meaningful and human. I often revisit this song if only to remind myself of a time when even in the hurt that can sometimes result from loving another, indeed, "somedays were meant for the rain" when we discover that love may not be love after all. No matter the circumstances, always find room in your heart to love again; on days of rain or otherwise. Peace my brothas and sistahs.

Ellis Hall complete performer, songwriter and musical magician!!! Richard Elliot’s soulful sax solo….really brings it on!!! Some days were rain, some nights were meant for pain, I’m caught up in your change!!!

[@danielolson5378]

This is one of those songs that you can't ever get enough of and it's definetely one of their most beautiful songs and what about Ellis...yes he sings with such passion and soul wow!! Totally wonderful solo by Richard Elliot anyone who knows Emilio should suggest they pick this one...

When this album came out in '87 it was the first album the band had released in 9 years and those were some dark times for them, although they still toured and brought it every night. I will never forget the day I saw this in the record store when it first came out. I bought 3 of them, drove like a maniac to get home as soon as I could, put it on and cried with tears of joy. Especially when I heard this song.

[@anthonywilliams232]

I remember hearing this song as a kid I've always loved it bit couldn't find it

[@bird872mitc3]

I love this song! The first time that I heard it I fell in love( Quiet Storm with Von Harper).

[@DMenny]

I just added the lyrics just in case you wanna fall deeper in love lol!

[@DMenny]

Here's the lyrics...since I couldn't find them officially: Raindrops on my window, completing my day of dread. Tears stream softly from raw eyes, these words running through my head. Like - some days were meant for rain, some nights were meant for pain. And I'm caught up in your change. (Ooh Ooh Ooh...Ooh Ooh Ooohhh...) Sitting alone in my tear-filled room, feeling deep the words she said. "My love for you was just a game in time." Cold words crashing through my head! (Some days were meant for rain) Yes they were... (Some nights were meant for pain) I know they were (I'm caught up in your change) OH please...Sing my sooong.... Hoo hoo oo (Some days were meant for rain) Here's to loving you baby. (Some nights were meant for pain) Your love - your love is driving me crazy (I'm caught up in your change) And there's something else I gotta say... Baby love - I need you baby love. Baby love - I'm callin' Baby love oh whoa oh ah uh. Here me callin' baby - BABY-ay-ay-ay! Some days! Oh yeah Listen... I'm I just another storm in your life that you wanna get through?! Cause I'm caught up in... your change - yes some days were meant for rain! Rain Rain Rain Rain.......!!!

[@Chiffona]

D. Menny thank you

[@seancollins7582]

I think it is "I'm caught up in your chains", not "change"

[@ethelstevenslove2957]

[@gadgetgirl99ds]

Love this song.❤️❤️

[@johnpaakkari4808]

I agree with all that this is one of the best ever. I know Rocco and Emilio would have to agree! Mind you they have a shit load of great songs some with Tom Bowes fantastic but Ellis wow, rick was and is bad ass still! But Ellis, Tom , rick wow don’t get much better. If you read this Rocco I hope it finds you well. You were the one that got me into bass, my first lessons from you in ole Fremont days ( Linda Preston) I was just a kid when you turned me on to great bass playing you even gave me a VHS tape from you teaching finger funk. I’ve practiced it since thanks T.O.P. Still love T.O.P. Always will.

[@ethelstevenslove2957]

Classic song that had major airplay on WBLS back in the day. They just don't make music like this anymore. I can't find it anywhere either. Would love to be able to download.

[@bossbirdonstack22]

[@QueenUglyDuckling]

Musical Definition of torch ballad...

[@JosephLopez-l5w]

Nice TOP jam, never heard it, but no comparison to Rick Steven's Sparkling in the Sand...East Bay Grease

[@naichehunter126]

Champagne at WBLS in NYC used to play this as a late night request until management "forbid" it. As per Champagne herself.

[@bird872mitc3]

[@MrAjohnson58]

Richard Elliot was in this group, might be him on the horn

[@BILLLO08]

this song is off the Tower of Power album Power 1987 there must be some sort of legal issue going on with this album you can't even find it ......what a waste cause its a great album What up Emilio? ...and yes that's richard elliot on the solo

[@BayAreaBerk]

First heard this song over the P.A. while Tower of Power was setting up to play at Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA. We'd brought our blanket to sit on the grass, and we were like meercats; "Wait!, whats that?!" (Back in those days I lived right up the street in Addams Park.) Long live Tower of Power - Posted from 2021

[@ethelstevenslove2957]

Great classic......

[@DMenny]
