My dad always played this when it rained. Its raining on fathers day and im still playing this for you.

There are a few bands that change your life forever, this is one of them.

The music surely stands the test of time. What hurts is how young we all were... and now we aren't.

Classic Hit from the 80's ...in 2099 most of us will not be here,,,but the song will.

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

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.

The most underrated band of all time. This is one of the greatest love songs ever written.

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

this song will forever be one of the best from the 80's. It gives me such a warm feeling and a smile on my face....there are only a handful of people that feel the same.

This is one of the most romantic songs ever made. Can’t believe I’m only just being introduced to it. Beautiful.

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.

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 .

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

The coolest band of the 80’s, I had their hair and wardrobe back then

Loved April skies for years but not properly listened to jmc until lockdown. What a band, Scotland produces the best 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

There music doesn't age. loved it then and love it more now.

One of the coolest voices EVER, and a great band too

今日初めて彼らの曲を知った。何で今まで知らなかったんだろう？ ってぐらいすごく好きです。 いい音楽に時代なんて関係ないんだなあ

I'm in love with this band.

This song and band will always be timeless.

This is a perfect pop song. The line “Look at me enjoying something..” gets me every time, like a negative person who’s finally experiencing pure joy for the first time in their life! 🖤

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

No words to describe the way I feel when it's pumping up on the speakers. Brilliant!

Best Scottish Band Ever!! Too Good To Be Best UK Band Ever!!

Saw them 86 in LA my first night there.Took a bus for 4 days.Best show I've ever seen.

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.

When i was in 7th grade in the 80s I was listening to this band. I always thought they were really underrated

I think of the most amazing human being I’ve ever met in my life when I hear this song. Miss them.

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.....

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

This song got my attention back in 1987. Great stuff even now! Stands easy out with the guitar riff and the fast paced rhythm. Brilliant! Timeless, indeed...

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

This song gets goose bumps. Scottish pride, Great band, forever.

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... !!!

I love them , they changed my world !! The 80's was the best ,if I had one wish ,I would want to go back there in time & not come back !

This song is just absolutely fantastic!

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.

What A Song!!!! What A Band!!!!

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.

One of the best bands ever. Glad I was 17 in the 80s!!! YAH

This song bring me back memories and puts a smile on my face. Thanks.

Timeless song. Heard it for the first time on a TV commercial for General Motors in Brazil many years ago. Thank God for J&MC and MBV.

As much as I love Psychocandy...Darklands is their seminal album. Class, vibe and style. Can actually hear everything sans reverb feedback dissonance. Gimme that pure Reid wall of sound...

One of my favourite bands.

Lovin that these tracks are still listened to.. Makes my sense of humanity more real!

Brilliant. I Loved Them So Much.

One of my favorite songs from this amazing band

this is great sound remembering high school days.....love it

Reminiscent of a time and place that can't be replicated! If your not singing along with it.. you might be missing something? Love it!

JAMC, Bunnymen, Smiths, Furs, Pil, Alarm, Banshees, JD, Cure, Church, Southern Death Cult, Bolshoi, Lorries, Theatre of Hate, Skeletal Family, Rose of Avalanche, Sisters, Nephilim, Mission the list is endless and the soundtrack to my life. :)

This song always makes me happy🥰 rain or shine.

one of the best love songs ever written

this song and dont ever change are my favorite songs!!!

LOVE THIS SONG!

This song brings peace to me on a rainy day in some very turbulent times.

this takes me to my happy place ♥♥♥

they were awesome live and still make me cry !!! gawd bless you xxx

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.

beautiful song.

Meus 14 anos foram escutando isso, só punk... E mais Depeche Mode, Eco The Bunnymam, The Clash, Morrissey,e outros mais... Chego choro, quando me pego na nostalgia. 😘

Love this song. Brings me way back! 😊

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

simply good to the core

One of the best songs ever, love it.

I can't get enough of this. This is great stuff

I must admit The Jesus And Mary Chain are the best name i have ever heard in my life for a band Rock on The Jesus And Mary Chain. And God bless you all live long and prosper.

Now, this is an amazing song.!!! I only recently got into Jesus and Mary Chain, what a fricken great band!

This is the best pop song ever made. Period.

Such a good song, it immediately raises my spirit. Love it so much!

Great song and great band. It was probably during the nineties that I first heard them, especially remembering hearing sometimes always. Then getting more into them. If only KZfaq was around during the nineties I would have been in music bliss. They're so cute. Love them.

Something about the water up there? These guys, the Cocteau Twins? Amazing! And lest I forget, the late GREAT Stuart Adamson! OMG!

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

I truly am happy when it rains, and this just makes it better.

Listening to this song makes me feel awesome!

aż się łza w oku kręci .. dlaczego dzisiaj tak się nie da ?

Wonderful!

i feel so nostalgic listening to this track. takes me right back to being a kid

fabulous tune

My song from the 80s ❤

I LOVE THIS TOO

This is one of the most sane and heart warming comment ive seen in youtube comment boxes in a very long time. thanks for ending my day with a little chicken soup, greeting from the UK and goodnight.

This is a beautiful song by a beautiful band.

My fav song ever

🌧☔️ Happy When It Rains ⛈☂️ Step back and watch the sweet thing Breaking everything she sees She can take my darkest feeling Tear it up, 'til I'm on my knees Plug into her electric cooler 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 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 And I'm happy when it rains And I'm happy now And I'm happy when it rains And I'm happy now Oh, I'm happy now Oh, I'm happy when it rains

freaking awesome quality and sound...finally some record company puts something good that's worth my time...

Remenber, 1989, sit on the floor, with the headphones listenin to this. Nostalgic level Its throught the roof now.

It's as though this band has written the soundtrack to my life, before I was even born.

Damn I love this song.

Dude this band is so awesome I'm so glad I found them there songs are great they should of been way bigger

Still so fresh and relevant to me

Semplicemente stupenda!!!

too much beauty for me to handle

Only recently discovered this amazing song and I love it.

Love this song so much!!!!

this song just fits right In my life at the moment

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.

I just adore this band !!!!

Anyone else in quarentine? Lol, gotta find the silver lining, guess that's what brought me here :-)
