Sweet RainTrain

Songwriter: Train

Producer: Brendan O’Brien

“Bodyrock” was the song both of my managers tried to get me to take off the record. They thought it was really tacky. They thought it sounded like a Fatboy Slim ripoff — which I guess it kind of did. I like it because the hip-hop sample was off the first mixtape I ever got, maybe in 1981, off of the Mr. Magic Show on WBLS. The guitar is directly inspired by “What We All Want” by Gang of Four. And I thought it was kind of funny to have an orchestral chorus on what is essentially a hip-hip song”. (c) Moby, RollingStone.com Read more on Last.fm.

[Verse]
I remember when every other day was bad
You were my brother, so tall was all you had
Sireno was dead but we had you instead
Now i remember our precious petting zoo
Our delicate high school and all the things we said we'd do
They all fall like, sweet rain
Wet my memory, sweet rain
Come on down on me
It wasn't hard to look ahead
You wanted to be me instead
I wanted to be you instead but
I fell and you fell back
What is wrong with me, well what is wrong with you, jack?
Everybody knew she was coming, everybody knew she was
Sweet rain, wet my memory, sweet rain, fall down on me
The big screen got in between, what it was and what we've seen
How have you been? What have you been? I think about you
Now and again, i think about you every single day
Well, shit i'm thinking about you now

[Outro]
Sweet rain, wet my memory
Sweet rain, fall down on me

Train

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
