section::::music and lyrics.









































the inspiration for "rain" is agreed on by neil aspinall, the beatles' roadie, and john lennon. they both described the band's arrival in sydney, australia, marked by rain and poor weather. lennon said, "i've never seen rain as hard as that, except in tahiti", and later explained that "rain" was "about people moaning about the weather all the time". another interpretation is that the song's "rain" and "sun" are phenomena experienced during a benign lsd trip.
