Rain


"Rain" is a song by the iconic British band The Beatles, released in 1966 as the B-side to their single "Paperback Writer." Composed primarily by John Lennon, with contributions from Paul McCartney, the track is typically performed in the key of B minor. It is noted for its innovative use of reverse tape effects and psychedelic sound, particularly in the guitar solo. Interestingly, "Rain" is often considered one of The Beatles' underrated gems, showcasing their experimentation with studio techniques and pushing the boundaries of traditional rock music. The melody is characterized by its hypnotic rhythm, ethereal vocals, and intricate instrumental arrangements, making it a favorite among fans and music critics alike.
