Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

Ok, were I am getting at with my previous statement is this song is going to be a hit on the pop chats that will bring people to show and Rain will be the only song they know. A few years back I was able to attend John Mayers Austin City Limits filming one of the best shows I have seen of him. Well thew out the show half of the crowd was talking and not paying any attention to the show then his big hit at the time No Such Thing was played all the sudden all the people who were just talking are now singing every verse to that song. Well when it was over a few people left and the others went back to there conversation. Those who only know the hits of bands miss out on most bands best works. To me it seems they just like the song just because its popular at the moment and 6 months later they wont even remember a groups name.

Incredible tune...it's forever stuck in my head.

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

I like it. For a released song it hits the mark not to heavy not slow the type of song that can be played a heap of places much like WAWO (Some of the weird places I have heard that)

I rarely think the best song on the album's get released the only 1 i can think of is Offspring's last cd (Your Gonna Go Far). The most part they are the slowest song with the catchest lamest beat. The trick is get new people into liking creed they buy the album and hear the "real" creed.

Compared to the rubbish on the radio it's heaps better. Damn sight beeter than Coldplay or Kings of Leon

This song could still be perfected. the bridge and guitar solo (which is awesome anyway) could be longer. Scott sounds great. There are some good vibes.

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

That was my first thought.

The main difference is that Overcome is actually good. This song blows.

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

I'm hoping it's a shorter single version and the album version is longer.

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

Like I said in another Rain thread, this song sounds more like an Alter Bridge song as far as lyrics go. AB never really had the deep and meaningful lyrics that Creed had, and neither does this song. I like the sound overall, but I prefer a little more depth for lyrics.

its truly a master piece :rockon: foreva stuck in mine as well

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

Can you be more specific about song structure?

Most song structures even in different genre's of music are the same if you're talking about arrangement of verses to choruses to bridge.

What the heck is "Before I Die"?

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

It's a song that Creed sang back in their Tallahassee bar days before even recording My Own Prison on their own Blue Collar Records. It was a song that (according to a radio interview clip) Mark wrote completely by himself. It's about smoking pot and getting high. The radio interview clip is fairly easy to find but the complete song is near impossible. I've only heard it once.

for the record Ben Grosse Produced "One day Remains" not Kurzweig and Michael Baskette produced "Blackbird"

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

I agree, Krisoz26, this song is much better than what's on the radio. I heard the Kings of Leon song, and didn't think it was all that much. Kris Allen's first single, Live like your Dying, is actually a cover song by Script! Not even done that well, with rap chorus in it that doesn't fit! So Rain I think is as good in it's own way as Overcome. It's just awesome.

Re: What's everyone's opionion on 'Rain'?
 

At first listen, I wasn't sure what to think of the song. After the second listen, I was hooked.

I think this song will be a big hit on radio because it is catchy and also because a lot of people are stuck in a rut nowadays. Think about it, thousands of people have lost their jobs, are feeling hopeless, several people have lost their homes due to floods and fires and this song pretty much says tomorrow will be a better day "with every tomorrow comes another life" etc . Songs like this one brings out the emotion in people and I am feeling this song. Great job Creed!
