Lyrics:

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue sky go?
Oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold

I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning

Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold

Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on, on

Travis are a Scottish rock band formed in Glasgow in 1990, composed of Fran Healy (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Dougie Payne (bass guitar, backing vocals), Andy Dunlop (lead guitar, banjo, backing vocals) and Neil Primrose (drums, percussion). The band's name comes from the character Travis Henderson (played by Harry Dean Stanton) from the film Paris, Texas (1984).

I moved to Scotland as an German, settled in and my Scottish girl friend broke up with me, I stayed 3 years after that, I loved the country and the kind people, still it was a bitter Sweet time in Scotland, and this music reminds my on those cold Scottish nights and the pain I felt ……… now I am in my 50s and the music Transports me back to those days……greetings from Berlin Germany 🇩🇪

1999.. I was 13 living in the middle of nowhere after moving out from big city due to my family's financial struggle. My parents bought a stereo for me and my brother. This song was on the radio at that time.  I remember recording it and playing it over and over again. Even when there was no electricity the batteries kept the music playing. Tough time but I miss it.
Great band! Long live Travis!!!

Came back here after so many years, and this is still a masterpiece

[zambonie]

I moved to Istanbul from Kenya to start college in 2007. Due to the language barrier I struggled to make friends in my first year there. I moved into this tiny cold apartment and I used to spend whatever little money I had on calling my family back home due to being so homesick. I had an mp3 player that I used to listen to in the train on my way to school and in the evening on my way back home. It had limited memory and most of the times I had to decide which songs to delete in order to add new ones. I could never bring myself to delete this song. It captured that moment of my life so perfectly. To this day whenever I hear this song it's like a time machine back to that moment of my life.

I was 18 and was graduating high school. Mtv2 is playing in the living room while mom is cooking dinner and Gramma walks over every evening at the same time, while this video is playing. She knew most of the lyrics and we would dance and sing while mom cooked. Oh, to have those moments back again. I miss her so much.

In 1999 was my father's last year of life. The pain in losing him was so great that it seems to have divided mine into two parts. The sound of this song reminds me of the times when I had to start my life over at 11...

[kalmondj]

Still coming back for this gem. Eternally thankful gents.

[anemoia]

Been struggling with so much anxiety for months to the point where music doesn't seem to distract myself/make me feel better as it used to. But somehow, this song made me feel comfort again. It's one of those songs that came/I found at the right time. It's like a blessing.

[maggiemae]

I was 17 yrs old who had failed the enroll exam to get in the Universty, at that time when I heard this song somehow just cheered me up. Now I’m 36, this song always gives me the positive power .

Summer 1999. I met my husband for the first time in person and spent a week in a St. Bride's Castle, Wales. This song kept playing, and we both knew it was the story of our past. We married three months later and are still mad about each other. This song brings back happy memories for the both of us!

[MindsinUnison]

19 years after the first time I heard this song... it's STILL great

[fulgore]

Hits you differently when you are depressed and in Scotland. Most of the year is cloudy and grim. Can be a lonely country to be in without family and friends.

[safwangouhar]

This song was released when I was 13 and I remember watching it on MTV. I am 34 now and I am watching it on YouTube, have 2 kids, married twice, went through heartaches, traveled the world. Not too bad! Can't wait for what more is coming my way. Life is good!

[NickNeblo]

After more than 20 years, this song is still one of the best and the video amazed me once again

[lisablacker]

Have to agree with all those saying that Travis has never gotten the recognition they deserve. Such beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics! ❤️

[jackrowlands]

DO NOT LET THIS MASTERPIECE DIE OUT PLEASE

[Cocker_Spaniel]

"Why Does It Always Rain on Me?"

The song was written by frontman Fran Healy who wrote the song while on holiday in Israel. He wanted to go somewhere sunny because in his hometown of Glasgow it rained all the time. In an interview at the Live 8 concert, he explained that he was spending a short holiday in the southern vacation city of Eilat, Israel in the middle of the winter. The city is known for its hot weather even during winter time, but surprisingly it began to rain for two days during his stay.

When Travis began to perform this song at the 1999 Glastonbury Festival, after being sunny for several hours, it began to rain exactly when the first line was sung.

The pain is tangible in this track. Absolutely wonderful piece of music.

the lyrics :
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
I can't stand myself
I'm being held up by invisible men
Still life on a shelf when
I've got my mind on something else
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
Oh why is it raining so?
It's so cold
I can't sleep tonight
Everybody's saying everything is alright
Still I can't close my eyes
I'm seeing a tunnel at the end of all of these lights
Sunny days, oh, where have you gone?
I get the strangest feeling you belong
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Oh, where did the blue sky go?
And why is it raining so?
It's so cold
Why does it always rain on me?
Is it because I lied when I was seventeen?
Why does it always rain on me?
Even when the sun is shinning I can't avoid the lightning
Why does it always rain on me?
Why does it always rain on, on

One day I’ll look back and remember how sad and happy this song made me feel in the summer. Thinking about all the good opportunities I missed out on because of self-doubt.. but still holds a special place in my life
