Happy when it rains

Long time ago, maybe twenty years (yeah!), I discovered this song from a band I didn´t know. I saw the video on the tv, when you could find programs like "Plastic", and alternative bands had a nice place to show their feelings to the young people in our old-fashioned country. Now it´s almost impossible to hear or see anything decent on tv, where shit camps free.

Anyway, today we´ve got the Internet, and alternative music has a messy place to stay. Here you´ve got the video, live in Oslo (2007)

This is how I´ve felt today, two hours ago when I was in french class and I could see the rain fallin´ in the evening... over the courtyard of the high school I studied long ago... I has been like a love letter in the clearness and purity of the early years...

And here you´ve got the lyrics...enjoy poetry

The Jesus and Mary Chain

Happy when it rains

Step back and watch the sweet thing

Breaking everything she sees

She can take my darkest feeling

Tear it up till Im on me knees

Plug into her electric cool

Where things bend and break

And shake to the rule

Talking fast couldnt tell me something

I would shed my skin for you

Talking fast on the edge of nothing

I would break my back for you

Dont know why, dont know why

Things vaporise and rise to the sky

And we tried so hard

And we looked so good

And we lived our lives in black

But something about you felt like pain

You were my sunny day rain

You were the clouds in the sky

You were the darkest sky

But your lips spoke gold and honey

Thats why Im happy when it rains

Im happy when it pours

Looking at me enjoying something

That feels like feels like pain

To my brain

And if I tell you something

You take me back to nothing

Im on the edge of something

You take me back

And Im happy when it rains
