This song takes me back to tough times in high school. I remember I was coming home from work, and I was crying my eyes out , and my parents were getting divorced, and this song came on, and I just sat in my car and cried and cried. The next day I went out and bought the cassette. I must've listened to it a million times. The bridge is so powerful and haunting as well.. ❤❤❤

A quick thinker in the back took out the tape that was playing through the speakers and put on this song. Almost ten thousand freaks and geeks, goths and punks, skaters and surfers, hardcores and hippies - and everyone in between - started singing and dancing to this song. Hearing this song always brings back that moment.

Tell me about it...this song helped me get through 2019, a year of a rollercoaster of emotions for me. January: started dating for the first time ever March: first professional recording sessions with my band June: discovering ASMR for the first time which helped me through a lot of my struggles with anxiety July-August: got my first job ever, working part time at a grocery store September: nastiest breakup with that same person who I started dating that Jan. Was so emotional as it was my first ever relationship. That hurt so much, being a sensitive person. December: quit my first job thinking I can find another job soon, then COVID would hit three months later. 0:05 The soft, twinkly keyboard notes, synth swells and Stewart Copeland's hi-hat work serve as a reminder of the good times, whilst knowing you're entering the next stage of your journey. 0:21 Tony Levin's bass slide down just adds to the dramatic emotional aspect of the song for me, acknowledging built up anger and frustration. 0:30 The drum fill which marks Gabriel's entrance with the vocals and piano chords is a release of all of that pain. Emotional songs say so much. I totally relate to how you think this is so emotional...

Being a 10 years old boy, "Red Rain" turned me into a musician. Shall be sang at my funeral. I would love to play and meet Peter Gabriel as a bass player he turned me into. Can not be otherwise, thank You Peter.

Peter Gabriel's song is an existential and spiritual allegory that explores the heartache and suffering that people experience throughout their lives. The red rain symbolizes the pain and trials that each individual endures in their lives, and the chorus speaks of the inevitability of that pain - it is coming down and there is nothing you can do to stop it. In the stanzas, the narrator stands on the edge of the "water" of this pain, unable to interact or do anything other than feel its power, like a storm that cannot be stopped or denied. The bridge is then about the letter actually finding the strength to face the rain and accept it, to understand that it is part of life and to trust it like a child. The final chorus prays for strength and acceptance in these times so that the narrator can emerge on the other side of the ordeal. It is an emotional and powerful track that addresses the dark side of life and encourages the listener to have hope and be resilient in the face of adversity. The song is a combination of multiple inspirations. The lyrics directly reference a recurring dream Gabriel had in which he was swimming in his backyard pool and drinking cold red wine. In another version of the dream, bottles shaped like people were seen falling off a cliff. Inside, a stream of red liquid oozed from the human-shaped bottles as they hit the ground upon impact, and was usually followed by a heavy downpour of the same red liquid. At the beginning of his solo career, Gabriel had an idea for a film that he called “Mozo.” In it, the villagers were punished for their sins with blood-red rain. “Red Rain” was supposed to be the theme song. This idea was eventually scrapped, although Mozo was mentioned in the song "On the Air" in Peter Gabriel (1978). “Down the Dolce Vita”, “Here Comes the Flood” and “Exposure” also refer to the Mozo story. The heavily percussive song features two notable American drummers: Police's Stewart Copeland played the hi-hat for the rain-like background sound and was requested by Gabriel due to his mastery of the instrument, while the rest of the drumming was provided by Gabriel's regular drummer Jerry Marotta. A very well done pop song. It has a fantastic sound density and lots of sound collages...! Truly great from Sir Peter Gabriel. One of the best musicians. (Der Song von Peter Gabriel ist eine existenzielle und spirituelle Allegorie, die den Kummer und das Leid erforscht, das Menschen im Laufe ihres Lebens erfahren. Der rote Regen symbolisiert den Schmerz und die Prüfungen, die jeder Einzelne in seinem Leben erduldet, und der Refrain spricht von der Unvermeidlichkeit dieses Schmerzes - er kommt herunter und es gibt nichts, was man tun kann, um ihn aufzuhalten. In den Strophen steht der Erzähler am Rande des "Wassers" dieses Schmerzes, unfähig zu interagieren oder etwas anderes zu tun, als seine Macht zu spüren, wie ein Sturm, der nicht aufgehalten oder verleugnet werden kann. In der Bridge geht es dann darum, dass man tatsächlich die Kraft findet, sich dem Regen zu stellen und ihn zu akzeptieren, zu begreifen, dass er zum Leben gehört, und ihm zu vertrauen wie ein Kind. Im Schlusschor wird um Kraft und Akzeptanz in diesen Zeiten gebetet, damit der Erzähler auf der anderen Seite der Tortur wieder herauskommt. Es ist ein emotionaler und kraftvoller Track, der die dunklen Seiten des Lebens anspricht und den Hörer ermutigt, Hoffnung zu haben und im Angesicht der Not unverwüstlich zu sein. Das Lied ist eine Kombination aus mehreren Inspirationen. Der Text bezieht sich direkt auf einen wiederkehrenden Traum, den Gabriel hatte, in dem er in seinem Hinterhofpool schwamm und kalten Rotwein trank. In einer anderen Version des Traums waren Flaschen in Form von Menschen zu sehen, die von einer Klippe fielen. Darin sickerte ein Strom roter Flüssigkeit aus den menschenförmigen Flaschen, wenn sie beim Aufprall auf den Boden prallten, und es folgte normalerweise ein heftiger Regenguss derselben roten Flüssigkeit. Zu Beginn seiner Solokarriere hatte Gabriel eine Idee für einen Film, den er „Mozo“ nannte. Darin wurden die Dorfbewohner mit blutrotem Regen für ihre Sünden bestraft. „Red Rain“ sollte der Titelsong sein. Diese Idee wurde schließlich verworfen, obwohl Mozo in dem Lied „On the Air“ in Peter Gabriel (1978) erwähnt wurde. Auch „Down the Dolce Vita“, „Here Comes the Flood“ und „Exposure“ beziehen sich auf die Mozo-Geschichte. Der stark perkussive Song ist von zwei bemerkenswerten amerikanischen Schlagzeugern geprägt: Stewart Copeland (The Police) spielte die Hi-Hat für den regenähnlichen Hintergrundsound und wurde von Gabriel aufgrund seiner Beherrschung des Instruments angefordert, während der Rest des Schlagzeugspiels dies tat bereitgestellt von Gabriels Stammschlagzeuger Jerry Marotta. Ein sehr gut gemachter PopSong. Er hat eine fantastische Sounddichte und viele KlangKollagen...! Wirklich großartig von Sir Peter Gabriel.​ Einem der besten Musiker.)

Songfacts: This was inspired by a recurring dream where Gabriel was swimming in a sea of red water. Gabriel explained to Mojo magazine September 2013: "'Red Rain' was written after a dream I'd had about the sea being parted by two walls. There were these glass-like figures that would screw themselves into each wall, fill up with red blood and then be lowered across the sand, as it were to the next wall, where they'd unload the blood on the other side. I used to have these extremely vivid dreams that scared the hell out of me." Gabriel explained: "If feelings of pain do not get brought out, not only do they fester and grow stronger but they manifest themselves in the external world." Hi-hat cymbals played by Stewart Copeland were combined with a Linn drum machine programmed by Chris Hughes to form a backing rhythm that simulates rain. Other personnel on the track are: Daniel Lanois - guitar David Rhodes - guitar, backing vocals Tony Levin - bass Jerry Marotta - drums Gabriel added piano and two different synthesizers: a Fairlight CMI and Prophet 5. At one point, Gabriel wanted this song to tell the story of Mozo, a character he developed who alters the lives of those he encounters - a very prog rock concept akin to his work in Genesis. Gabriel envisioned a movie or play based on the Mozo character, but it never happened. This was used in the TV series Miami Vice ("Stone's War" - 1986) and CSI: NY ("Dead Inside" - 2008). Daniel Lanois also co-produced the album with Gabriel. The pair had worked together on the soundtrack to the 1984 film Birdy, starring Nicolas Cage and Matthew Modine. After So wrapped, Lanois moved on to co-produce U2's hit album The Joshua Tree. (Songfacts: Inspiriert wurde dies durch einen wiederkehrenden Traum, in dem Gabriel in einem Meer aus rotem Wasser schwamm. Gabriel erklärte dem Mojo-Magazin im September 2013: „‚Red Rain‘ wurde nach einem Traum geschrieben, den ich hatte, in dem es um das Meer ging, das durch zwei Wände geteilt wurde. Da waren diese glasähnlichen Figuren, die sich in jede Wand schraubten und sich mit Rot füllten.“ Blut und dann über den Sand abgesenkt, sozusagen zur nächsten Wand, wo sie das Blut auf der anderen Seite abladen würden. Ich hatte immer diese äußerst lebhaften Träume, die mir eine Heidenangst einjagten. Gabriel erklärte: „Wenn Schmerzgefühle nicht zum Ausdruck gebracht werden, eitern sie nicht nur und werden stärker, sondern manifestieren sich auch in der Außenwelt.“ Von Stewart Copeland gespielte Hi-Hat-Becken wurden mit einer von Chris Hughes programmierten Linn-Drum-Maschine kombiniert, um einen Hintergrundrhythmus zu bilden, der Regen simuliert. Weiteres Personal auf der Strecke sind: Daniel Lanois - Gitarre David Rhodes - Gitarre, Hintergrundgesang Tony Levin - Bass Jerry Marotta - Schlagzeug Gabriel fügte Klavier und zwei verschiedene Synthesizer hinzu: einen Fairlight CMI und einen Prophet 5. Einst wollte Gabriel, dass dieses Lied die Geschichte von Mozo erzählt, einer von ihm entwickelten Figur, die das Leben derer, denen er begegnet, verändert - ein sehr Prog-Rock-Konzept, das seiner Arbeit in Genesis ähnelt. Gabriel hatte sich einen Film oder ein Theaterstück vorgestellt, das auf der Mozo-Figur basiert, aber daraus wurde nie etwas. Dies wurde in den Fernsehserien Miami Vice („Stone’s War“ - 1986) und CSI: NY („Dead Inside“ - 2008) verwendet. Daniel Lanois war außerdem Co-Produzent des Albums mit Gabriel. Das Paar hatte gemeinsam am Soundtrack zum Film Birdy aus dem Jahr 1984 mit Nicolas Cage und Matthew Modine gearbeitet. Nachdem „So“ fertig war, übernahm Lanois die Co-Produktion des U2-Hitalbums „The Joshua Tree“.)

Masterpiece

June 30th, 1986. My best friend, Jeff, RIP, and I were in Cincinnati to see the Grateful Dead. We had scored some LSD in the parking lot, and gone inside the ampitheater to wait for the show to start. It was a beautiful, sunny day. As I laid down on the grass, enjoying the sunshine, this music began playing on the PA system. I remember thinking, " cool, this must be Peter Gabriel's new album, coming out today. What a treat. It just doesn't get better than this!" Still an awesome memory to this day.

IMHO, 'So' is Peter Gabriel's best album and definitely one of the greatest albums of all time.

What an amazing production. The rhytm section with Jerry Marotta on drums and Tony Levin on bass is out of this world. Peter Gabriel stands out as one of the most talented artists of the last 50 years

Hopefully I'll see him in Philly this year. He's one of my favorite musicians.

I remember watching this music video on DVD about several times when I was a teenager. It's one of my favourite Peter Gabriel songs of all time. I absolutely love that song. It never gets old and it will always be a timeless masterpiece. It's probably one of the best Peter Gabriel songs of all time. I still have that DVD 📀 called Peter Gabriel: Play The Videos (2004, Warner Music Vision which is now known as Warner Music Entertainment). Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

Just saw this live this past Saturday at the united center in Chicago. There aren't many words to describe how good the show was. When this song came on as others have said when Tony's base and Manu's drums hit WOW! If you've never been around a grenade or bomb when it goes off (your very lucky) its the only thing that comes close to what I felt I was dead center sec 106 seat 10 and POW! This song live that night just indescribably incredible. I had the same feeling at his show at Poplar Creek back in 83' and every show in between' what an artist.

un autre chef d'oeuvre du maitre...

I first heard this track when I was a student developing an interest in composition and found Tony Levin’s bass playing simply mesmerizing. YEARS later, I had the pleasure of meeting him at a trade show where both of us were demonstrating instruments for the same manufacturer. Well, you can imagine what a thrill it was for me to see him give me a thumbs up during my performance segment. A great song performed and produced by great artists.

Peter Gabriels' music is actual art.

Masterpiece. This song is truly a storm, as soon as the bassline kicks in, the drums rumble, and then Gabriel's voice hits, it's like thunder and lightning and rain. And this video is just perfection, the way Peter's lit and the dancing, it's filled with so much despair and a sadness that can't be expressed through spoken words. Did I mention this is a masterpiece?

Desperately underated talent.. how can a song this technically brilliant and beautiful and powerful with Peters amazing vocals only reach number 46 in the UK charts. Absolutely unbelievable. I brought the 12 inch Peter..

The "So" album and the consequential tour, were a masterpiece.

This is a song you just can't play loud enough. One of my favorites.

Peter Weller said one of his favorite memories of his film career was filming the drug bust sequence. While filming the sequence, Weller was listening to Peter Gabriel's song "Red Rain" on his Walkman inside the RoboCop helmet as he exchanged gunfire with various bad guys.

Gabriel is such a great vocalist, what a distinctive tone he has. Then he casually brings lyrics of pure poetry to the table, and adds a little musical brilliance for good measure, the cheeky fucking genius!

Can’t stop listening to this song he’s such a great artist. Saw him in concert twice both great shows. Thank you Peter Gabriel

I am just another Avid music fan, but I'm convinced this is one of the most emotional and heartfelt vocals I've ever heard. This album So is one of the most completely satisfying albums I've ever listened to.

Somehow, Gabriel's solo work has transcended the era of music it also helped to define. You listen today and his soundscape, themes, expression are just as full, rich, and present as they were then. There is no defining or categorizing his music, it's not {rock}, it is not {symphonic}, it is not...it is him, iconoclastic.

Yes that's true all of of the former Genesis artist had truly great careers very talented musicians indeed

All I know is that I had the privilege of seeing Genesis perform The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in Houston, Texas, in 1974. The performance left me and my good friend Mike totally abuzz. Of all concerts I have attended, I would have to say this was the singular best and most memorable concert of my life!!

I bought up all their previous works and fell in love with Genesis and subsequently both Peter and Phil's solo endeavors ----BTW ---It was probably in my top three of best concerts of my life---perhaps even no 1

This man's music has moved my soul like no other. Peter Gabriel is by far in my top 5 of all times

Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch We touch, this place is so quiet, sensing that storm Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town They tell you that this rain can sting, and look down There is no blood around, see no sign of pain Hay ay ay no pain Seeing no red at all, see no rain Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Red rain Ohhhh Putting the pressure on much harder now To return again and again Just let the red rain splash you Let the rain fall on your skin I come to you defenses down With the trust of a child Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me And I can't watch any more No more denial It's so hard to lay down in all of this Red rain coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down I'm bathing in Red rain coming down Red rain is falling down Red rain is coming down all over me I'm begging you Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Over me in the red red sea Over me Over me Red rain

One of my favorite lines, "I come to you, defenses down, with the trust of a child."

This album was released in the 80s. I saw it in Houston when I was 19, now I'm 55. It will forever be in the top 5 of my favorite concerts. I've seen so so many Hall Of Fame bands. Best part of being 55 lol. It was 1986 when I saw him. Maybe 87? Epic and unforgettable. I love Peter!!! ❤️

im gonna tell my kids this is SLAYER - reign in blood

Man , I am lost for freaking words , when it comes to this man , he is beyond a musical genius. I am 34 and really grew up in the 90's , he is still awesome to me. A fantastic voice and a beautiful but sad song , LOVE IT SO !

Yes, Peter Gabriel is a satanist, out for your soul. Good intuition.!

This album was huge for me. I've loved it every since it was released. It is my favorite PG album ever, followed by Us. King Edward Van Halen famously stated this was the last commercial CD he ever bought. Speaking to Classic Rock in January 2022, Eddie’s son Wolfgang revealed that So held a special place in his father’s heart and that the song ‘Red Rain’ meant a lot to both of them. He said: “This is one of my favourite albums because it was one of my father’s favourite albums of all time. So I’ll never forget him coming up to me one night with these huge headphones and going, ‘Wolf, put these on.’ Then he put the headphones on my head and cranked the first song, ‘Red Rain’. It’s very hard to listen to now that my father is gone. But that album front to back is Peter Gabriel at his finest.”

🔥🔥🔥 The most dramatic intro ever 🔥🔥🔥

Peter Gabriel's voice is perfect, no one can convey bleakness quite like him. The video helps convey the song theme too, refreshing( this didn't always happen). Great job.

The ending part of this song is incredible

Incredible artist. Profoundly talented and endlessly inventive. ✨️ A gifted storyteller, too. He performed this song during his _Secret World_ tour in 1993. I was so blessed to be taken to see him in London by a man I'd just fallen in love with, and who made me his wife a few years later. ❤ He loved _Genesis_ and introduced me to Gabriel's work. We still love it (and each other) - Peter's music and his amazing artistry. His concerts are legendary. An enlivening feast for the senses. 🤩🎶 🙏🏻 *Thank you* to everyone who has shared a story here of how this evocative song impacted their life. So many different experiences. Joy, devastating heartbreak, love. Humans are so beautiful. I wish we could all see that in _Us._

what a time to be alive when artists like Peter Gabriel were making music like this ❤

Happy 70th birthday Peter Gabriel

One of the best songs ever written and my favorite of 25+ years.

I am 55 and i remember how our air was bad and we had smog is what they called it thank you Peter Keep fighting for us

The arrangements in this song are breath taking. Truly a master's work of orchestration and sound mixing.

With out a doubt, one of my favorite song's by Mr. Gabriel!

One of the Greatest Songs Ever Created!!! ❤️💚💙

I'm so glad I grew up to this kind of music.

This is one of the most powerful and epic songs I've ever heard.

one of the greatest artist of our generation😍😍😍🎸🥁🎧

one of the all time best songs ever created by man

PG created some amazing sounds that just stand the test of time. Glad I got to see him before he packed it in, great Voice.

According to Peter Weller, the guy who performed as Robocop, he mentioned that while filming the drug raid scene, he was listening to this song. Awesome!

This song is so so powerful, I used to cry listening to it. Love from Buenos Aires, AR.
