Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand the Rain

[Intro]
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories

[Verse 1]
Hey, window pane
Do you remember
How sweet it used to be?
When we was together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound
That I just can't stand

[Chorus]
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
'Cause he's not here with me

[Verse 2]
Woah, empty pillow where his head used to lay
I know you've got some sweet memory
But like the window, you ain't got nothin' to say

[Chorus]
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Just keeps on haunting me
Hey rain
Get off my window
'Cause he's not here with me

Songwriters: Ann Peebles - Don Bryant - Bernard "Bernie" Miller

According to what is said, the song has an interesting story; One evening in Memphis in 1973, Ann Peebles met friends, including Don Bryant, to go to a concert, and as they were about to set off, the heavens opened and Ann Peebles shouted: " I Can't Stand the Rain". Based on the resonant phrases, Don Bryant sat down at the piano and began riffing on the theme, weaving the ideas of Ann Peebles and Bernie Miller. The song was completed that night and presented to Willie Mitchell the next morning. Willie Mitchell used a brand new gadget, the electric timbale, to create the song's distinctive raindrop riff. In just one day, they created the song that would leave its mark on the years.

To be honest, I first heard the song from Tina Turner, but later I listened to the original version from Ann Peebles and I can say that I liked both of their performances very much. When I first heard the opening riff of "I Can't Stand the Rain", it blew my mind and it sounded so eerie, it still sounds eerie.

If you want to listen to it, Tina Turner's version;

Enjoy the music and stay with Love

"I Can't Stand the Rain" by Ann Peebles is a soulful classic that captures the heartbreak of lost love. With emotionally resonant lyrics and Peebles' powerful vocal performance, the song poignantly uses rain as a metaphor for lingering sadness. The innovative production, featuring a unique electric timbale sound, adds to its timeless appeal. This song's emotional depth and memorable sound have made it a favorite for covers by many artists.

@henruc

It's a timeless R&B classic that I think really showcases the raw power and expressiveness of the genre.

Congratulations @henruc! Count me in for another round, please! Thank you so very much!

While it does have a pretty cool beat and sound, and Ann Peeble's voice is great (Tina Turner's too), I'm not so much into this sound. It might be because my given middle name is literally Rain, so I do rather like like the rain from the sky. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I never heard this song, but I love the beat from the beginning. Very 80s vibe with pop'n'lockin dance style. I listened to it a 2nd time because I liked it so much :)
