Step back and watch the sweet thing Breaking everything she sees She can take my darkest feeling Tear it up, till I'm on me knees Plug into her electric cool Where things bend and break and shake to the rule Talking fast couldn't tell me something I would shed my skin for you Talking fast on the edge of nothing I would break my back for you Don't know why, don't 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 That's why I'm happy when it rains I'm 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 I'm on the edge of something You take me back And I'm happy when it rains And I'm happy when it rains And I'm happy now Oh I'm happy when it rains Oh I'm happy when it rains

Yeah. This song takes me to San Francisco stomping around south of Market when it was rough and dirty , listening to the Quake and KALX and dancing at the Trocadero Transfer. Sorry that I missed this band at the Greek in Berkeley, backlit for the entire show. Good times.

Forever reminding me of my best friend who was killed at 18 in 1990. I was left with this cassette of hers. I miss her so much all these decades later.

They played this song on the radio a minute ago and what to say, it caught me again. Thought I grew to old for it but h.s. it still gets me and it most probably always will. What a gift.

Darklands is one of the 10 greatests 80 LP's.

This is like chicken noodle soup for the soul when you've been dumped. It makes you cry, but it's a good cry. I'm happy this song is here for me when I need it.

Happy when it rains, too. Bring on the rain. 🌧

I am so happy Jesus and Mary chain remained an indie band in the 80s and not in the main stream. Big thank you to Reid brothers - great music .

What a classic. I bought this 1987 / 88. 10 inch single :) It still sounds fresh, LOVE IT!!!!

What a flood of emotions, just returned to me - Now, I'm in tear's as I write. In the 80's this was my motto, "I'm happy when it rains" and I still use it, today. This song not only reminds me of hanging out with my Goth friends, but I'm deeply reminded of my father. He use to love the rain so much, it was no surprise to watch him dancing in the rain. I was born to be Goth and I still am... !!! Stupid people, still ask about the black clothes, but I just say "Wearing black in the rain, makes me feel the happiest". That's the advantage of getting older, is that, I can afford to buy kick-ass clothes, boots, shoes, and I have pounds of silver rings. I still even have my first pair of original Doc Martens, 28 hole, lace-ups, with exposed brass eyelets' - remember those? The kids at the university, where I teach, they take notice of me almost instantly, so, I will play some obscure Goth song, during the midterms and finals; if, they can identify the band and title, they get extra credit. I've fostered Gothliness down to new generations, so, I'm called the "Goth-father". The Jesus and Mary Chain, were still just baby's when they made this video. I don't think they even needed to shave, yet... !!! This song is a glorious thing... !!! I love you, Dad... !!!

This song always makes me happy🥰 rain or shine.

One of my favourite bands.

I have 2 albums of Jesus on cd for about 30 years. Akways when I do painting in the house I listen to them and the housework goes so nice.....

I’ve been playing this tune for the past 35 years & I love it as much now as when I first heard it. I’m always sent into a complete happy haze by the lines: “Talking fast on the edge of nothing - I would break my back for you…..” Makes me think of all the times you just talk & talk into the night & beyond about everything & nothing with that special someone…

What a life im listening to it in 2022

I remember listening to Darklands for the first time and being disappointed that it wasn't Psychocandy II. Years later, I re-listened and found myself loving these melodies...this song, April Skies, Down on Me....all great, and all unmistakably JAMC.

Happy Melancholy..... These played a big part in my life which revolved around live music back in the late 1980s. I followed The Marychain round for several years and bought everything they released and sadly lost interest after Automatic. Still got all my vinyl tucked away - albums, singles, 10s, 12s, picture discs, gatefolds and so on which I'd love to play again. Discovered my Upside Down teeshirt recently. Listening to this today has stirred my emotions and I really wish I could revisit those days. Happy happy times...... It's embarrassing to think I tried to look like William Reid at the time and I probably looked more like Beryl Reid. What a dick I must have looked. Very tempted to go and see them tour again just for old time sake as I've heard they're out and about.

I loved watching this today! I used to listen to them often over many years of my younger life. For me, they will forever capture the wistful optimism of that time in my life. Thank you to the OP.

Loved listening to this song on the radio back then. Bought the album and still have it, still play it now and again.

something about the jesus and mary chain is so different to most band. The booming drums and fuzzy guitars make their music so amazing on the ears. Being 15 i am lucky enough to have a parent that loves them. This song is one of my favourites i hope that there will be another indie movement the scene is dead.

One of my favorite songs from this amazing band

"I would shed my skin for you"......love it love it love it

What I always liked about these guys is the way they incorporated stuff from what they did before. All those shots on the monitors in this video were from their first record.

One of the best songs ever written by a band of the same definition.

❤Genius lyric simple things fulfilled of Poetic!!!

I know this may sound silly but this is something I have been wanting to say for a while. I have loved the 80's ever since I was a teenager. In fact, I have loved the oldies. They are much more meaningful and inspiring. However, since my knowledge in music isn't as broad, I got quickly tired of listening to the same old love songs ( in specific the 80's ballads). However, as I grew older I found myself interested in other types of 80's music. But I did not know what "genre" it was,the only thing I knew I was always drawn towards the electric and acoustic guitar sounds. Whenever something like this played I would get happy and excited. It took me a while to find out I love UK's alternative rock, post punk, indie rock, and Britpop,dream pop all related to them. But it really wasn't until I watched the movie "Lost in Translation" that lit my bulb!! It led me to find out more about this band and look for more of this type." Now it's probably my favorite band!!! I listen to them almost daily. I also love the 60's sounds, such as "the clientele' and Jarvis Cocker's " Magic works" Anyway, some suggestion on music bands or songs would be very much appreciated. I want to listen to what finally makes me happy!
