Hall & Oates

Songwriter: David A. Stewart

Producer: David A. Stewart Daryl Hall

Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain, when I'm with you
Seems like a thousand years
SInce we both felt free
We've seen a million faces
All staring at you and me
But just like Humphrey Bogart said
Before he passed out on his bed
Here's looking at you kid
And the rocky road ahead

Heavy rain, lightning too
Heavy rain when I'm with you
You know the thunder comes like a lion's roar
But it leaves me now
When you walk out the door
Listen to that northern wind
It's singing a sad old song
A melody so sick and tired
Been blowing much too long
Ain't it time to feel the weather change
You know it's overdue
Love is gone, we can't go on
Pretending old is new

Rain down

And the daylight comes
As a sweet surprise
Heavy rain
Filling up my eyes
Heavy rain

Hall & Oates released the first of their 18 albums in 1972 on Atlantic Records. They would go on to sell 13 million albums and 6 million singles primarily during the 70’s and 80’s when they recorded their most prolific and profound music. They blended rock, jazz, soul, and pop create a genre they titled rock and soul.

While their technical musicianship, innovative songwriting styles, and popular live performances were praised, they also had a fruitful partnership with their manager Tommy Mottola, who was helped Hall & Oates break into music videos before they were popular and made profitable financial deals by helping them get on the ground level of and corporate sponsorship of tours. Hall & Oates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.
