"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is a song written by John Fogerty and released as a single in 1971 from the album Pendulum (1970) by roots rock group Creedence Clearwater Revival. The song charted highest in Canada, reaching number ane on the RPM 100 national singles chart in March 1971.[one] In the U.S., in the aforementioned yr it peaked at number viii on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart (where it was listed as "Have You lot Ever Seen the Pelting / Hey Tonight", together with the B-side).[2] On Cash Box popular chart, it peaked at number 3. In the Great britain, information technology reached number 36. It was the group's eighth gold-selling unmarried.[3]

Some take speculated that the song's lyrics are referencing the Vietnam War, with the "rain" beingness a metaphor for bombs falling from the sky.[four] In his review for Allmusic website, Mark Deming suggests that the song is about the idealism of the 1960s and nearly how it faded in the wake of events such equally the Altamont Free Concert and the Kent State shootings, and that Fogerty is saying that the aforementioned issues of the 1960s still existed in the 1970s but that people were no longer fighting for them.[5] However, Fogerty himself has said in interviews and prior to playing the song in concert that information technology is about ascension tension within CCR and the imminent departure of his brother Tom from the band. In an interview, Fogerty stated that the vocal was written almost the fact that they were on the top of the charts, and had surpassed all of their wildest expectations of fame and fortune. They were rich and famous, but somehow all of the members of the band at the time were depressed and unhappy; thus the line "Accept you lot e'er seen the rain, coming downwardly on a sunny day?". The band dissever up in October the following year after the release of the anthology Mardi Gras.

In a literal sense, the song describes a sunshower, such in the lyric "It'll rain a sunny twenty-four hours" and the chorus, "Accept you ever seen the rain, comin' down on a sunny day?".[6] These events are specially mutual in Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, Southward Carolina, and Alabama, merely less common in other parts of the country, due to localized atmospheric wind shear furnishings.[6] In Southern regional dialect, in that location is even a term for information technology: "the devil beating his wife".[vi]

John Fogerty released a alive version of the song on his The Long Road Home - In Concert DVD which was recorded at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on September 15, 2005.
