Foy Vance - Make it rain

It's the ORIGINAL, Ed Sheeran's version is the cover

[brodylockwood]

I kind of hate that in Ed Sheerans version it's displayed as his own song and not a cover...No mention of this legend on Ed's official video. All his fan girls think he wrote it ffs.

Came for the Moustache, stayed for the Blues.

This is why I love the internet! An Ed Sheeran rabbit hole led me to discover this talented brother. So many talented people in this world that mainstream media neglects.

My phone need a cigarette after this song

[borkoniBG]

I'm a truck driver and love listening this song while I'm driving in traffic jam, it's so relaxing. But, when I stop driving and listen this again, I close my eyes and I'm there ...that beautiful place of peace and loneliest

[kaiquebreno]

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
Just the same

Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain

The seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
And the hunger more profound
Well I know there can come tears from the eye
But they may as well be in vain
Even though
I know these tears will bring me pain
Even so
Just the same

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

And the seas fill with water
That stops by the shore
Just like the riches of grandeur,
Never reach the poor
Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins
That fill the sky
With all that they can drop
When it's time to make a change

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

Make it rain
Make it rain down lord
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain
Make it rain down
Make it rain
Make it rain

How did I never hear about this guy before? His VOICE!!!

[enzoriina]

Looks like a peaky blinder (arthur A bit younger

[Sofa_King_Corny]

Ed's version has the soul of a young man, troubled in love and life.

Foy's version has the pain of a man that has lost that very love and coping with that life.

It's cathartic. I can't stop listening.


I'll clarify further by saying that I do enjoy both versions but in their own right. Also, I prefer Foy's version.
Ed = Pop, upbeat, softer, lighter feeling.
Foy = Soul, bluesy, gritty, heavier... You just FEEL it.

[ruslansadretdinov]

"when the pain of my mother will not let me go" omg I love the lyrics of this song and the way he splashes out his feelings this is increadibly unbelievable

[JamesSmith-gksz]

One of the best "hopeless, resigned to cruel fate, looking through a haze of smoke at the moon on a rooftop" song that has ever been made.

[abuhkowmskeit]

Sad when you’re building castles in your mind for someone who probably doesn’t even think about you.

[bewarbarjas]

Fuck I love YouTube for recommending this

[domnulelias]

I'm a man with simple tastes,

In the morning I listen to the news,

At nights,
I listen to the blues.

[Spaz]

I was fortunate enough to find this guy organically, just came up in my related videos, amazing artist.

[nikolaprelog]

I can feel the pain just looking at this guys eyes ... beautiful voice

[lxstphxraoh]

Holy shit, this is the most personally relatable song I've ever heard, and it was just a random click, Gary B.B Coleman brought me here

[healthyliving]

Sometimes, energy just pulls you to what ya need. I myself needed this.

[JasonYate]

I came and I don't know why, but here I am and here I will stay. Long live blue forever!
