Ed Sheeran - Make It Rain (From Sons Of Anarchy)

"Make It Rain" is a song by the Northern Irish musician Foy Vance. It was made famous by Ed Sheeran in 2014 when it was used in the television series Sons of Anarchy in 2014.
The Ed Sheeran song was used in an episode in season 7 of the television series Sons of Anarchy. Sheeran was an avid fan of the series and mentioned it on his Twitter account. When the creator read it, he proposed that Sheeran records a song for one of the episodes. As Sheeran was touring with Foy Vance at the time, and as one of Vance's songs (Make It Rain) started with the lyrics "When the sins of my father / Weigh down in my soul", Sheeran thought it was appropriate for the series and with Vance's approval, Sheeran recorded the song to be used in the episode "Red Rose" broadcast on December 2, 2014.

"Make It Rain"

When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And just the same

Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rain

And the seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hotter
And the hunger more profound
Well, I know there can come tears from the eyes
But they may as well be in vain
Even though
I know these tears come with pain
Even so
And just the same

Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rain

Make it rain

And the seas are full of water
That stops by the shore
Just like the riches of grandeur
That never reach the poor

And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins
And fill the sky
With all that they can drop
When it's time
To make a change

Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, Lord

Sons of Anarchy will withstand time forever, a timeless masterpiece.

SOA was such an amazing show. At times I wish I could erase my memory and re-watch the entire series. This song paired with one of the ending scenes of Jax and his mother brought the scene to a different level of heartbreak.

[Dudewithnoface]

Not many songs have the ability to move me to tears, but this is one of them. Powerful.

[Verse 1]
When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
Well, I know there can come fire from the sky
To refine the purest of kings
And even though I know this fire brings me pain
Even so, and just the same

[Chorus]
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Make it rain

[Verse 2]
Well, a seed needs the water
'Fore it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
Hunger more profound
Well, I know they can't count tears from the eye
But they may as well all be in vain
And even though I know these tears come with pain
Even so, and just the same

[Chorus]
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Just make it rain
Make it rain

[Verse 3]
Well, the seas are full of water
Stops by the shore
It's like the riches of grandeur, oh no
Never reach the poor
And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins
But fill the sky with all that they can draw
When it's time to make a change

[Chorus (Extended)]
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Oh, make it rain

One of the most beautifully written songs and poetic sounds. I have no words to describe the way it made me feel when I played this song. All I can actually say is, Thank you.

[sdlady]

Damn! Ed's got some grit and soul with this song.

[nonenone]

Foy Vance sang this I can remember my grandfather listing to this. Then Ed brought it back and it sounds so great. It reminds me of my grandfather Ira. Believe it or not they song it in church on Sundays.

[shem]

Sons of Anarchy, what can I say. It's the best show I ever watched. It was intense and exciting to a T. I always looked forward to watching although the waiting was intense, just to c what happens! The music, superb.

[karenhalgren]

Hands down one of THE best shows ever!

[Marko.Linta]

This song fulfills me both emotionally and spiritually. This combination always puts me in a zen mood where I can appreciate life.

[angelablasilopez]

This is one of the most underrated Ed Sheeran's songs. But it's honestly my favorite

[becauseimhiswife]

This is BY FAR THE BEST recording of this song I've ever experienced including the other's I've heard by Ed Sheeran. Thank you. I could listen on repeat.

[katwilliams]

Love this! Ed Sheeran is so talented. I am watching SOA again from the beginning.

[aaronjohnson]

This just proves how dynamic Ed Sheeran really is I really don't like the people that hate on him

[solofett]

I can still recall the episode when I heard this song. From that moment I was sold on Ed Sheeran. This guy is talented!

[judystrong]

The Best Story I've Ever Seen Told on TV For Me The Best Show of All Time damn I miss it won't ever be anything Close and this song Damn

[stthankyougodeverything]

I am going to be in the new Love Sons of Anarchy, it is absolutely to best I have ever watched. This show had everything and much much more... Intense, love, war, death, birth, commitment, loyalty, betrayal, hate, family, friendship, sorrow, faith, loss, gain, money, drugs, prostitution at its finest, porn, sexual scenes, passion, lies, corruption, ...the list can go on forever, it captured everything in essence with absolute realism. The faces on these characters, the jaw lines, the scars, the eyes, their stance and how they carried themselves was at its best with each and every character. I am absolutely in love with them all for giving me and us, the viewers an amazing experience of what it means to work hard and put the absolute best of yourself out there. Thank you, to each and everyone of you. I think I have watched the entire season more than 10x so far since I discovered this!!! Blessings to you all.

[brianwaddell]

Not alot of songs that touch your soul anymore....this is one that does.
