If the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
If the rain comes
If the rain comes
When the sun shines
They slip into the shade
(When the sun shines down)
And sip their lemonade
(When the sun shines down)
When the sun shines
When the sun shines
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
I can show you
That when it starts to rain
(When the rain comes down)
Everything's the same
(When the rain comes down)
I can show you
I can show you
Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine
Can you hear me?
That when it rains and shines
(When it rains and shines)
It's just a state of mind
(When it rains and shines)
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

One of those songs that defined the era. And of of Ringo's finest performances.
Brilliant song - group effort that shows the enormous strides they were taking at that time.
They were SO good.
So which is better - John's "Rain" or Paul's "Paperback Writer" ?
I don't recall which was the "A" side.

"Rain" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released on 30 May 1966 as the B-side of their "Paperback Writer" single. Both songs were recorded during the sessions for Revolver, although neither appear on that album.
The song's recording contains a slowed-down rhythm track, a droning bass line and backwards vocals. Its release marked the first time that reversed sounds appeared in a pop song, although the Beatles used the same technique on the Revolver track "Tomorrow Never Knows", recorded days earlier.[4] Ringo Starr considered "Rain" his best recorded drum performance.[5] Three promotional films were created for the song that are considered among the early precursors of music videos.

What were these lads thinking.. 
What a poor imitation of "The Duke's of the Stratosphere".

Ringo has commented that the slightly unusual sound and timing of his drumming stems from the fact that he would use a drum kit that's set up for a right-handed person, but he is left-handed -- so there's just the slightest delay for certain things. It doesn't sound late or wrong, but it is perceptible at some level by nearly everyone, whether they are aware of it or not.
Ringo's drumming on this is exceptional. The time signature is unusual but Ringo nails it.

The Beatles were the best Rock and Roll band ever. That is all.

Wonderful Song!!! 
Definitely a great song to hear after a week of wildfires filling our beautiful city with smoke. Thanks Bill!

Just watched a new movie called Yesterday about an acoustic guitar player that wakes up to find the world had no recollection of the Beatles (but he does) and he plays their songs and everyone thinks he's a genius. Not Oscar worthy but interesting concept and worth a watch.

It's raining in NYC. The perfect rainy late October almost evening beer (not lemonade) sipping soundtrack. 
Another Beatles song that I will hit the next button on
One of the greatest songs ever done by the Beatles for its combination of forward thinking sounds, for its place in time and for its evocative lyrics.
My favorite Beatles song...
Ringo at his best, Paul's amazing bass line, premium guitaring, great vocal harmony, innovative and
lyrically powerful with a profound message.

Perfection
Certainly when the acid first kicked in for them which was much earlier than '69. :)
1969 release?? i thought this was more like 1966. Certainly recorded then. There's a video even and looks like 1966.
Later, in 1980, Lennon claimed:
I got home from the studio and I was stoned out of my mind on marijuana and, as I usually do, I listened to what I'd recorded that day. Somehow I got it on backwards and I sat there, transfixed, with the earphones on, with a big hash joint. I ran in the next day and said, 'I know what to do with it, I know ... Listen to this!' So I made them all play it backwards. The fade is me actually singing backwards with the guitars going backwards. [Singing backwards] Sharethsmnowthsmeaness ... [Laughter] That one was the gift of God, of Jah, actually, the god of marijuana, right? So Jah gave me that one.[20]

Absolutely love this song!
This was probably the first song of the new avant-garde era in Beatles music when they transitioned out of pop and cover songs into their own unique style. Innovative and creative, Rain showcases the band's true talent beyond any other good band of the time—lyrically, musically. Very complex. First use of backward music (at the end). Paul's bass line is really incredible and Ringo's drums are really great, not to mention the awesome vocal harmony that they had already mastered together.

Sounds just splendid in my work headphones. I wish playing this louder would/could send some rain to the parched forests of British Columbia. We could use some RAIN now. Until then, we dance!
This record never leaves my jukebox.
Not only did the track feature the "famous" backward-lyrics, the backgroud sound is also very interesting. During the recording of the song’s backing track the tape speed was increased. John wanted “Rain” to have an exaggerated slow and heavy sound. So by having the tape run faster during recording and then played back at normal speed, the desired effect of a plodding and lethargic rhythm was achieved.
Awesome song. One of their first to use the backwards masking lyrics. I don't remember if it was this song in particular but I remember John talking about coming home one night and putting the studio tape on backwards by mistake. "I'm sitting there with a big hash joint going what the hell is this?"
Their best. Still sounds fresh. A gem from John. Paul's bass playing on this ain't bad either. Great effort all around.
Absolutely love this song!

In the U.S. it was on the "Hey Jude" album, which was more-or-less a compilation of singles and B-sides which were not on any previous studio albums.

As a dopey kid in the 60's I found the song lyrics in the Chicago Tribune and memorized them. Why?! Cause I could!
I gave it a 10 because 11 wasn't available
And de Beatles, again, and again, and again!!!
Saw Robyn Hitchcock do this live many years ago and I started laughing uncontrollably when he sang the backwards parts.

"Rain" was first released in June, 1966, as the B-side of "Paperback Writer", which is another contender for my all-time fave... I think that is the best 45 ever released...

Yes, by then they were not doing very many live performances, and the Sullivan Show had fewer and fewer rock acts performing 'live' by that time. The Beatles simply submitted the films to the network.

This is my favourite Beatles single track - flipside of 'Paperback Writer' if my memory is correct from buying the single as a teenager when it was first released. Paul's great base playing and Ringo's great drumming.
All Paul's base are belong to us?
I don't know what it is about this song... I loved it the minute it came out. Maybe it's Paul's Base. or John's Vocals... It just has always been my #1 Beatle song from the begining... Thanks for playing...
They were not the only band experimenting with the recording studio in 1966 but.......they were the only one that was already the most popular band on the planet when they started doing so. They opened up the doors to so many.

I guess I'm in a minority here. This is not one of my faves of theirs. I still like it. Just not as much as many here.
They were and are without equal...... all the more amazing as a humble b side to Paperback Writer.

My favorite Beatles tune.
The sound is special indeed because the tapes were actually played a bit faster than normal while recording. Played at normal speeds this is what made this special 'sloopy' sound, it's what you hear with the bass and drums. So even the bass was being played faster (and higher)

This song is just an example of the genius that The Beatles showed they were way beyond anyone else in 1966. The base and the drums were excellent, and the backword lyrics at the end of the song made the psychedelic era begin

Here's Ringo rubbing it in again, twice in one day, reminding all of us naysayers how wrong we were about his talent as a drummer.

Agree—perhaps the most astonishing performance ever by a rhythm section. As a—pretty bad—bass player, I can tell, when you heard this one the first time, sorta like John Entwhistle's on "My Generation," you simply stopped and listened. Ringo's playing speaks for itself.
I know the drums are the big news in this tune but I always LOVED the bass part.
