Anyone here in 2024? I first heard this group in '92; I was visiting VA from NY and decided to stick around (for a few years as it would turn out). I was instantly in love with these girls despite never having laid eyes on them at that time. They became and still remain my favorite girl R&B group from the 90s...this album, every track was fire. I miss those days.

Still hitting HARD in 2023! Hearing this song ALWAYS hit me to my soul. Would draw tears to my eyes even as a kid. Amongst one of my favorites of all time.
Have you heard the Jaco Pastorius song this is based on? Really emotional too as is his story. A lot more to this R&B classic when u peel back the layers.
I think one thing that's lacking in modern R&B is this sense of tenderness, love & sincerity. I can't name a single song thats cone out in the past 5 years(shit, I'll even give it 10 years) that gives me the feeling that this song invokes.

@@imtired9743 That's the beauty of a well-written lyric. The meaning is open to interpretation. The more explicit, the less room for the listener's imagination.
How can anybody dislike this song? This has to be one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever heard. It is perfectly written, composed, and performed.
@@LageRUclips I did. I am familiar with it.1 I know it is a sample of that song. Rain is beautifully written. It is the perfect marriage between lyrics and instrumentation.
Can I ask you something? Songs can be beautiful. Right? I was told by my English teacher music cannot be called beautiful. I was in disbelief, what about the experience from songs that I like. English is not our native language but second language, that teacher was saying with so much confidence. This was long ago and now I don't care.
They sampled Jaco Pastorious' bass intro from 'Portrait of Tracy' (also called 'Tracy's Portrait') a song for his wife, completely and exclusively played on the electric bass. Jaco was a revolutionary bass player who changed the role of bass in music but many don't know about him. R.I.P. The use of the sample in this song and a few other songs makes me so happy because that's how you keep forgotten music alive.
@@cap_1stuperman536 He absolutely was!! He died so young and in obscurity... that makes me sad because I can just imagine what he would've done for music with better mental health and a longer life! I wish more people knew of him but it seems only bassists, with the exception of a few, know he was.
@@rantallaboutit I can assure you that if Jaco were still alive this would’ve been SWV ft. Jaco Pastorius with him playing Portrait of Tracy in all its glory
This music is too good for those of us who were teenagers and young adults in the 90s not to be sharing it with this younger generation! These teenagers should be VERY familiar with SWV, TLC, EnVogue, Boyz II Men, Jodeci, Shai, The Fugees, Hi Five, Xscape, Dru Hill, Brandy, Monica, Usher and all the other popular R&B and Hip Hop artists that made the 1990s so special! JUST LIKE OUR PARENTS MADE US FAMILIAR WITH CLASSIC MOTOWN!
Bruh im young af, im 2009. And this.. GOtdamn im in love with this. And all these other 2009 - 2013 type artists are just so awesome. I have known SWV so long i don't even remember. Same with Tupac and Dr.Dre. But dre still makes music. Im sorry if u disslike this younger generation of kids. Ngl i do but i have som friends that does'nt listen to drill and these types of music so thats cool. But bro, Hip hop and R&B from back then is tressure and nobody will ever tell me otherwise.

No lie,my CD collection has a taste of a taste of 70's 80's 90's 00's 2000 teen's. From funk to trap music with a little bit of gospel,jazz, some light rock in the mix.🎵🎶🎶💯
One of the best R&B songs of all time. Coko's lead vocal performance, Leanne and Taj's harmonies, writer/producer Brian Alexander Morgan's backgrounds, the Jaco chords; it's simply perfection. It's beautiful to hear a contemporary R&B song embrace jazz but still remain relevant to the conversation of what was on the radio upon its release.
First time I heard this it struck me so hard, and I didn't know why I was also new into my study of jazz and realised later that this harmony is from Jaco Pastorius' Portrait of Tracy, one of the most sophisticated pieces ever written. I was so lucky to grow up in the 90s when music was so deep below the surface but still hit the way pop should. This one hasn't gotten old one bit.
The melody in this song was inspired by my favorite musician -Jaco Pastorius on his 1976 self titled album. The song is titled “Portrait of Tracy”. Masterfully done!
@@DwayneETowns Thanks. Jaco was a phenomenal musician who died in a terrible way. He didn’t get the credit he deserved due to his battle with mental illness which ultimately led to his murder. I was very glad to hear his influence on this song.
@@AnthonySmith-ki2yz When SWV did their rendition, they introduced a whole new generation to Jaco Postorius,s genius. I witness him live with Weather Report 1977 in Royal Oak,Mi.
@@DwayneETowns Jaco, Joe and Wayne. That had to be special! Unfortunately, Jaco had passed away by the time I learned of him in the early 90s. After meeting his ex wife, Ingrid (RIP) and his sons Felix and Julius at Sam Ash music store, I found out that we lived in the same city.

@@charlottethomas4748 Dude can blow. He sounds just like her but he doesnt want to sing professionally at the moment. I hope he does do it on the side more seriously.
I always romanticized about the idea of meeting my future wife. We would both get the exact same vibe this song conveys. Fast-forward 20 years later, I met my soulmate..and now we have a beautiful daughter. And now this song hits harder. Don't give up looking. Your soulmate is out there. If being in love had a definition.
I'm a 50's baby but my kids who are 49 44 39 and 37 shared their music with me. I grew up in a house with rap...and just good music. I'm a SWV fan for life. Alexis play SWV

Lyrics 🤎
[Verse 1]
Sometimes it's soft as a misty rain
That gently touches my soul
It cools the fire that burns in me
And I simply lose control
So just
[Chorus]
Rain down (on) on me
Let your love just fall like rain
Just rain on me
Just rain down (on) on me
Let your love just shower me
Just rain on me
[Verse 2]
Full as a dam at capacity
My passion's about to explode, yeah
I can't escape, it's surrounding me
I'm caught in a storm
That I don't need no shelter from
[Chorus]
Rain down (on) on me
Let your love just fall like rain
Just rain on me
Just rain down (on) on me
Let your love just shower me
Just rain on me
[Bridge]
Shower me
Sprinkle me
Fall down on me
(Your love just falls on me)
Fall down, fall down on me
Let it
Fall down, fall on me
Just
Rain down on me
Chill me with your loving touch
Rain on me
I wanna feel your love is real
Just
Rain down on me
Me
Rain on me
Oh baby
[Chorus]
Rain down (on) on me
Let your love just fall like rain
Just rain on me

Let your love just shower me
Just rain on me

The melody in this song was inspired by my favorite musician -Jaco Pastorius on his 1976 self titled album. The song is titled “Portrait of Tracy”. Masterfully done!
Thanks bro let them know the back story facts✔️
@@DwayneETowns Thanks. Jaco was a phenomenal musician who died in a terrible way. He didn’t get the credit he deserved due to his battle with mental illness which ultimately led to his murder. I was very glad to hear his influence on this song.
@@AnthonySmith-ki2yz When SWV did their rendition, they introduced a whole new generation to Jaco Postorius,s genius. I witness him live with Weather Report 1977 in Royal Oak,Mi.
@@DwayneETowns Jaco, Joe and Wayne. That had to be special! Unfortunately, Jaco had passed away by the time I learned of him in the early 90s. After meeting his ex wife, Ingrid (RIP) and his sons Felix and Julius at Sam Ash music store, I found out that we lived in the same city.
@@AnthonySmith-ki2yz Now that's an amazing story!
youtube is the closest thing to being able to go back in time that any of us will get
Wonderful example of the vocal, arrangement and production perfection of some 90’s R&B. Sublime….
Sometimes it's soft as a misting rain
That gently touches my soul
It cools the fire that burns in me
And I simply lose control
So just
Rain down (on) on me
Let you're love just fall like rain drops
Rain on me
Just
Rain down (on) on me
Let you're love just shower me
Just rain on me
Full as a dam at capacity
My passion's about to explode, yeah
I can't escape, it's surrounding me
I'm caught in a storm
That I don't need no shelter from
Rain down (on) on me
Let you're love just fall like rain drops
Rain on me
Just
Rain down (on) on me
Let you're love just shower me
Just rain on me
Shower me
Sprinkle me
Fall down on me
(You're love just fall on me)
Fall down, fall down on me
Let it
Fall down, fall on me
Just
Rain down (on) on me
Let you're love just fall like rain drops
Rain on me
Just
Rain down (on) on me
Let you're love just shower me
Just rain on me
Great
Love it
They still kill this song! When COKO get in that zone its over.
Coko always on point 🔥.
@@Eratiik She don't play!
COKO!! Get it girl.
If you think Cokol can sing you need to hear her son OMG he is his mother reincarnated but better
@@charlottethomas4748 Dude can blow. He sounds just like her but he doesnt want to sing professionally at the moment. I hope he does do it on the side more seriously.
This is music. This is beauty. This is perfection.
Anyone here from June 2024... Looove this song! 80s baby
I'm here in August
I always romanticized about the idea of meeting my future wife. We would both get the exact same vibe this song conveys. Fast-forward 20 years later, I met my soulmate..and now we have a beautiful daughter. And now this song hits harder. Don't give up looking. Your soulmate is out there. If being in love had a definition.
💯💯💯🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿💚💚💚😉😉😉👫👫👫
Real shit
You rained all over her
The beat is so damn beautiful. Def compliments well with SWV's strong vocals.
I agree 100%
Is that a young Tyrese in the driver's seat? Wow 🥰🥰🥰🥰
This song just randomly popped in my head and here I am. What a beautiful song, beautiful voices, beautifully produced.
It's kinda dope that Tyrese is in the original video and then he sings on the hook when Chingy samples the song.
Full circle moment lol
🔥🔥🔥
I feel priviliged to have grown up with this fantastic music, real music, that is still just as great nowadays as it was then...
90's R&B is classic! ❤

Tyrese was a real VIDEO VIXEN back in the day 😜
At the sacrifice of his mother and... sister?

Coco has such a beautiful, and unique voice.
I’m so glad I’ve showed my son’s all types of music because this was a request from my 17 year old to play
This song is SO GOOD. THE HARMONIES in the chorus are out of this world.
Hands down one of my favourite songs of all time.
