This colorized version was released in June of 1966.

(348 posts)By my all-time favorite band, The Sweet! They should've been up there with Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple in the pantheon of heavy British rockers, but their earlier genesis as a bubblegum hit factory for Chinn and Chapman obscured many from seeing what phenomenal musicians they really were.

The live recording titled "The Hollies Live at the BBC," captures the band during a vibrant phase of their career in the 1960s. The band's harmonies and catchy melodies were showcased through their dynamic stage presence, and this concert showcases their ability to engage with live audiences, further demonstrating their versatility and appeal. Their enduring influence is reflected not only in their records but also in how their live shows captivated fans across generations.

Originally written for Donna Summer. She said no because by that time she had become a born-again Christian and thought the song blasphemous. Seems tame by comparison to today's lyrics. I always thought it was about empowerment. Plus it's joyful and catchy.

(12,044 posts)Long as I remember the rain been coming down.
Clouds of myst'ry pouring confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, trying to find the sun;
and I wonder, still I wonder, who'll stop the rain.
I went down Virginia, seeking shelter from the storm.
Caught up in the fable, I watched the tower grow.
Five year plans and new deals, wrapped in golden chains.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.
Heard the singers playing, how we cheered for more.
The crowd had rushed together, trying to keep warm.
Still the rain kept pouring, falling on my ears.
And I wonder, still I wonder who'll stop the rain.

(4,512 posts)I'm only happy when it rains
I'm only happy when it's complicated
And though I know you can't appreciate it
I'm only happy when it rains
You know I love it when the news is bad
Why it feels so good to feel so sad?
I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
Pour your misery down
Pour your misery down on me
I'm only happy when it rains
I feel good when things are goin' wrong
I only listen to the sad, sad songs
I'm only happy when it rains
I only smile in the dark
My only comfort is the night gone black
I didn't accidentally tell you that
I'm only happy when it rains
You'll get the message by the time I'm through
When I complain about me and you
I'm only happy when it rains
Chorus
Pour your misery down
You can keep me company
As long as you don't care
I'm only happy when it rains
You wanna hear about my new obsession?
I'm riding high upon a deep depression
I'm only happy when it rains
Chorus

(997 posts)Well, they'll stone you when you're tryin' to be so good
They'll stone you just like they said they would
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to go home
Then they'll stone you when you're there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you when you're walkin' 'long the street
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to keep your seat
They'll stone you when you're walkin' on the floor
They'll stone you when you're walkin' to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
They'll stone you when you're at the breakfast table
They'll stone you when you are young and able
They'll stone you when you're tryin' to make a buck
They'll stone you and then they'll say, "Good luck"
There, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Well, they'll stone you and say that it's the end
Then they'll stone you and then they'll come back again
They'll stone you when you're riding in your car
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned, alright!
Well, they'll stone you when you walk all alone
They'll stone you when you are walkin' home
They'll stone you and then say, "You are brave"
They'll stone you when you're set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
