Rain (Status Quo song)
Introduction "'''Rain'''" is a single from British rock band Status Quo's album ''Blue for You''. It was written by Rick Parfitt. "Rain" was intended for ''Blue for You'''s predecessor ''On the Level'' – but, at the time of the recording sessions, Parfitt had not completed the song and so it was held over. It followed guitarist Francis Rossi's introduction to speed; "That's why songs like 'Rain' were so edgy and fast," he explained.The song was reprised in 2014 for the band's thirty-first studio album ''Aquostic (Stripped Bare)''. It was featured in the ninety-minute launch performance for the album at London's ''Roundhouse'' on 22 October, broadcast live by BBC Radio 2 as part of their ''In Concert'' series.
