The story behind
Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded Who’ll Stop the Rain in 1970, within an album that became one of their most successful. The song has a gentle rhythm, with a guitar that moves as if walking, and a voice that carries the story as if it were a conversation. The lyrics speak of a world that fades away, of people who get lost, and of a question that has no answer. It is a song that feels more than it is heard, as if someone were telling you something in a whisper, while the music slides between your fingers. The duration is short, two and a half minutes, but in that time you enter a world you can't get out of. ↓ Skip to chordsIntro 1
