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.
That's the best description I have heard for a lot of songs and for a state of mind I hope I never feel again. Thank you for giving it such a poignant image. And yes this song is the best of them
@@karenmount1295 As they say, "takes one to know one". Definitely spent many a night doing exactly this, listening to this song while doing it. Quit for years now, but this song will forever remain. Thanks for the kind words.
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
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.
James Lifsey I disagree. Ed's version is 3 notes on repeat and he just sings like he always sings. Smells of amateur, afraid. This is still not entirely blues but it grasps its elements much better To me Eds version is a failure cuz of 0 experience but kudos for trying and this version is the move over, ill show you how to do it.
James, i 100 % agree!! Foy has a rough, sensual oldness to his voice, i cant escape, it literally makes my heart skip and blows me away. Ed is like a fresh breath of air !!
Blues as Blues shoud be ....chat the heart reach the soul ...let us feel we're not alone with our Blues ...thanks for sharing this special sparcling Blues-Song !!!
For me personally, coming from the blues of the African Americans in the '20s and the rempetika of the Greeks ( also from the '20s onwards) this is the bluesiest, bad-ass and classiest song and vocals I have ever heard. Kudos to you Mr Vance and thank you
One of the most beautiful and soulfully sung songs I've ever heard. Mr. Foy Vance has a unique mellifluous and heartfelt sound...both musically and lyrically:)
BLUES THAT REACHES THE BONE MARROW AND TEARS AT YOUR VERY SOUL. THATS THE BLUES MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS..EMBRACE. THE BLUES.DAMM I THINK TENNESSEE WHISKEY HAS JUST BEEN BROUGHT DOWN ONE NOTCH. JUST ONE. WHAT CAN SAY 😨
"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
This song is a tunnel through the muddy shores of the mind, with a voice so powerfully insightful; soul tingling and emotion eliciting. Truly a man's song after having served his sentence of silence through the years of personal evolution and duty fulfillment. A connoisseur of relatable woes, Foy has done more with this song more than he'd ever imagine! Respect!
@@peacefuljustice4801 I wouldn't consider myself to be an art critic at all, Monica. I'm just somebody that juxtaposes and narrates. A sip and a fireside retrospection allows a flow so splendid, it would not necessitate the rest.
This needs to be mainstream. Why isnt this guy on the radio? We need this music back so everyone can have the chance to appreciate it. Why isnt he on the damn radio!!!!!!???
Saw him perform this live about two years ago, I had never heard of him before, but the performance still stays with me to this day, what an amazing song.
The sophistication of his mustache, with the turn of events in the background, compiled with the sorrow, defeat, and confusion behind his gaze...yet he keeps going, with the hope of a better tomorrow
I've listened to this song endlessly. No other song has ever hit me like this one. His voice is so incomparable and so emotional. I just can't even begin to describe it. Like a dreamy soulful song of longing and I still feel contorted somehow. There is a great song called ( silver lining) by Jacob Banks that I also love peace and love to everyone from Vancouver Canada
Ah 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 Well, a seed needs the water Before it grows out of the ground But it just keeps on getting hard And 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 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 Well, the seas are full of water Stops by the shore Just like the riches of grandeur, oh no, no Never reach the poor And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause And let lightning be the veins That fill the sky with all that they can draw 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 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
god damn. First heard it in Sons of Anarchy, but instantly fell in love with it. Pure emotion and talent. We lack it so much these days. it's such a breath of fresh air.
I have always thought that Ed Sheeran's version touched my heart, but here, the original...has truly put me at peace. Words can't explain what this version has done to me.
Ed Sheehan and Foy Vance know how to sing and convey the meaning of the Blues from different perspectives-This is the power of the Blues when sung from the heart-loss of love 💕 👵🏽👋🏾🍂🥀🍂🥀🍂 💧⚡️💔💧⚡️💙💧
This is so raw, I'm in love. You can't compare this to Ed's version, both are unique in their own style of music. And both touch the soul. This, is music
This is NOT a cover. Foy Vance wrote and recorded this song first. And the original is untouchable. I like Ed Sheeran's version, but it can't begin to touch this version.
For all of us who had never heard of Foy Vance before Ed Sheeran's remake. I think we should thank Ed Sheeran for bringing Foy to our attention. I think Ed's a good young man who lifts up his influences and likes so we can appreciate them too.
I knew about this song long before Sons of Anarchy and Ed Sheeran. Vince has soul and sings this song and one can feel pain and this is what the blues be like being performed in a small blues juke joint in a small town. ❤ i can listen to this version for hours!
I know I am 7 years late but I still have to ask, where has this music been my whole life???????? I'm officialy, deeply lost in love with this sound. Thank you so much!!

Wow...introduced to the song by the artist H.E.R who does an amazing job, then listened to Ed Sheeran's cover also amazing and is the most popular version I learned thru other comments Foy Vance is the original artist and writer and HE is definitely where the SOUL of this song lies you can feel the emotions this song was intended to invoke and it will move you deeply when you hear this version...I still have shivers...can't go back to the covers after this version...all amazing artist but this is out of body...raw...chilling.
@@marquiseharris2389 she has an insane voice, fact, but she doesn't make the soul of this song justice in my opinion. She.doesn't "feel it"... but again she is a brilliant performer.
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.
Ed Sheeran's cover popped out on my feed and I was just thinking about that. Most people in the comments seem to mistakenly recognize this as an original, which is shameful. Ed Sheeran is to blame. However, I believe Foy Vance and this song in particular will always have the recognition and appreciation of those who this song was written for. Those who actually understand and appreciate the blues. No autotune pop-ish version targeting a naive and futile generation will make the audience that knows who wrote this masterpiece forget the true blues artist and man Foy Vance is. He has less recognition, but the recognition of the right audience, who can appreciate the blues. That is how I see it.
I think Ed is fare to middling (and very very bad hair). But every generation needs their heros I guess. This is simple timeless quality, no fans bullshit. Just great blues.
When I first heard Ed Sheeran do this song I thought nobody could do it better. I was wrong! This is probably the most soulful song I have ever heard! Foy Vance where does this come from? DAMMMMNNNNN!
Just like Gold in it's raw state, not everyone has the eye to notice it. In this case, only few has the ears to spot this kind of gold. If you know what i mean.
I have a dream of dining while listening to an amazing song like this with my loved one, and feeling the love and peace inside of me. A glass of wine, the lights of the city on the window. Oh, life.
I'm the type of person who FEELS music more than i hear it. This song had me feeling some type of way that i don't think I've ever felt. i got goose bumps and chills to my core. I just discovered you tonight. Cant wait to check out more of your music!!
Absolutely, my brother I feel music I interpret it the best I can when I pick up my own guitar, but sometimes the feeling being overwhelming like this tune.
I felt every piece of that. What a vocal. There are a few songs out there that I will just put on repeat for a while. This is one of them. Al Green's 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart' is another.
The ORIGINAL unbeaten, deep from the soul, the guts and the heart - thank you so much. Feel the weight of every songline, and it fills my heart. Thank you so much!!!
I was listening to this in my room in the middle of the night, had to go out for a cigarette because of how angelic his voice is only to find out it was raining heavily .. pure magic! I found myself walking aimlessly, removed my hoodie for the rain to pour straight unto me .. speechless
true smokers can relate with the feeling, that unique feeling, of walking down the street with rain powering over our heads, whilst having a distant thought, just feeling, maybe for the first time in days, weeks or so, just feeling, feeling alive....
I honestly love Sheeran's take on this, but this is the man who wrote it; this rendition is as raw & soulful as it was intended, and I genuinely prefer this original version
So much recognition this song has received I’ve been listening to this man for years, I’m glad others have been given the opportunity to listen to his passionate voice.
RUclips just recommended this song to me. As I sat here and listened to this song for the first time, the most disturbing thing has been happening: As I think about my past. of my mother and biological father, how much suffering occurred between their abusive tendencies. my brother and I caught in the landslide of their ways as children back then. I start to cry. As I do, the tears are burning my eye sockets, quite unbearably. All the times we shared, holding eachother scared, my brother and I, listening to violent beatings enacted by a crackhead father onto our mother, in front of us, give or take if we were next... Sure enough, I hear the lyrics "I know these tears will bring me pain" I was shocked that in fact this was happening quite literally at the moment, my tears were bringing me physical pain as I allowed more of my heart to be vulnerable to the voice of Foy Vance. I have never quite experienced burning tears ever in my life... There could be something esoteric happening here.. as I don't believe in coincidences. There was something greater at work during this experience And in short, This is one of the greatest songs any human could possibly hear. I'm grateful for the existence of this lyricist and vocalist. Thank you. You've heal me this day.
Michael Phillips I cried reading your comment cause I felt the same and went through and still in a similar experience . I just pray we will find our peace and happiness one day 😊
Michael Phillips This is truly a song that reaches straight to the heart. Your story is what brings tears to my eyes. you have overcome great resistance. I hope your path and journey through life is filled with peace and happiness.
Oigo muchisima musica , de todos los estilos , pero este tema la interpretacion y la musica esta a otro nivel. Creo que es la mejor cancion desde hace mucho tiempo.
Mr Foy Vance, you throw every emotion into this song. I've seen Muddy Waters live and although he was amazing, I feel your soul in my heart. That, my friend, is lightening and very rare. Love, love this.
This is what I call MUSIC!!!! I have no words to describe what I think for this performance..... It's magical and so touching...no no no ....words are not good enough 😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I had no idea this was the original! The whole time i thought this was a Ed sheeran song im so happy I came across this!! Honestly this is better than eds cover no disrespect to ed sheeran but my god this version is incredible!
Wasn't going to comment, but every part of this song gives me goosebumps. Vocals, the melody, the band. Trifecta. This is music to me, fee it in my soul, my pores.
The energy of a great performance of the song penetrates all the molecules of the body and brain.The feeling intensifies when you remember footage from the series Sons of Anarchy.Thank you very much !
Does anyone have any other songs to recommend like this one? Soulful, true feeling, meaningful music? I’ve got feelings won’t go away by citizens cope, lumineers, but need mores
Gary B.B Coleman - The Sky is Crying Snowy White - Midnight Blues Albert Cummings - Lonely Bed JT Coldfire - She's crazy Maybe you are going to love these songs. Have a nice day friends.
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 Even though I know this fire brings me pain Even so And, Lord, 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 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 their eyes But they may as well be in vain Even though I know these tears will bring me pain Even so And, Lord, 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 The seas fill with water Stops by the shore Just like the riches of grandeur Never reach the port Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause Oh, let lightning be the veins 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
Man this is great gut-wrenching music for the soul, body and mind. Eargasm stuff...who couldn't be sincerely moved by that voice and axe! Just WOW!! So good 👍
HOLY SHIT! I mean C'mon do I need to say anything else but Holy Shit? Really? This is a man bleeding soul, bleeding feeling. This man is truly gifted and not getting the recognition he deserves. I mean if this don't make you close your eyes and come to tears you need to look up different music homie because this here, this here is grown folk music.
I was listening to Mighty Sam McClain's "When the hurt is over", and someone commented that it reminded them of this song. I'm so glad I decided to listen. Another great, heart wrenching, soul stirring song to add to my life. Thank You for uploading.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful voice ..I try to sing this in and outside of my range.. but this is special... We can all heal the world through our voices.. Looking forward to hear more of you
Just listened to Cakra Khan do this one and even though I adore him, I think I like Foy even more. He has the original rasp and so much soul. Love,love,love.
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.
Ed Sheerens parents are Irish... Foy Vance is Irish...that is why Sheeren copied the song in his cover
Same thing ed Sheraton tune on sons of Anarchy led me to this. This dude is bad ass. Will probably become one of my new, blues favorites
Larcenia roe brought me here
Your Honor brought me here. The guy that sang it on there definitely did it justice.
Because they don’t sign contracts or agree with satanic fools.
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.

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

To me Eds version is a failure cuz of 0 experience but kudos for trying and this version is the move over, ill show you how to do it.
James, you worded that perfectly. I have goosebumps listening to him pour his heart and soul into this song. Love it!!

Ah
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
Well, a seed needs the water
Before it grows out of the ground
But it just keeps on getting hard
And 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
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
Well, the seas are full of water
Stops by the shore
Just like the riches of grandeur, oh no, no
Never reach the poor
And let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
And let lightning be the veins
That fill the sky with all that they can draw
When it's time to make a change
Make it rain
Make it rain down, lord

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.
He didn't write it either, dip shit.
Ed Sheeran's cover popped out on my feed and I was just thinking about that.
Most people in the comments seem to mistakenly recognize this as an original, which is shameful. Ed Sheeran is to blame.
However, I believe Foy Vance and this song in particular will always have the recognition and appreciation of those who this song was written for. Those who actually understand and appreciate the blues.
No autotune pop-ish version targeting a naive and futile generation will make the audience that knows who wrote this masterpiece forget the true blues artist and man Foy Vance is.
He has less recognition, but the recognition of the right audience, who can appreciate the blues. That is how I see it.
To be fair id never heard either and found this one first, don't give up
@Idontknoww576 Yes agreed. His voice has so much emotion and character, a true artist.
Quit being dramatic this video has 38 million views
Never rushed, never silent... this is pure gold!!!!!!!!!!
I am just finding this
This man sings the blues from the depth of his soul. Love him♥️
You can feel l the emotions and pain
2021 anyone? the swag and blues that pour out of this man have totally captured me for life! the moustache, the hat and the voice.....so smoooooth
It is simply a fantastic performance of a great song. Ed Sheeran does it good, but Foy Vance is another level. Simply great!
F Faziliu Foy Vance WROTE this song.
words of truth brother...
it is the original version
yes it is ... enjoy it...
I think Ed is fare to middling (and very very bad hair). But every generation needs their heros I guess. This is simple timeless quality, no fans bullshit. Just great blues.
When I first heard Ed Sheeran do this song I thought nobody could do it better. I was wrong! This is probably the most soulful song I have ever heard! Foy Vance where does this come from? DAMMMMNNNNN!
Eth Wei Foy Vance is the writer of this song.
Eth Wei you have not heard Koryn Hawthorne yet
Tenesse whiskey is pretty up there too & Feeling Good too.
from being from northern ireland
Eth Wei right on!!!
Why is the cover the more popular version. Foy Vance hits the track ten times harder. Chills every time
Anthony Reese Because it was on Sons of Anarchy, which a lot of people watched.
Just like Gold in it's raw state, not everyone has the eye to notice it. In this case, only few has the ears to spot this kind of gold. If you know what i mean.
jr maldito you express it with great words that make me speechless
And because for wrote this song people....this is truly the original
Mainstream promotes sex and youth rather than soulful talent.
Keep coming back to this magnificent vocal presentation. ____ boy would I have loved my hero Ray to have sung this!
I have a dream of dining while listening to an amazing song like this with my loved one, and feeling the love and peace inside of me. A glass of wine, the lights of the city on the window. Oh, life.
Gordana Barb I have the same dream! How far away it is though, until then I’ll settle for just this song. :-)
Yeah like me ooh life
Did you mean dying? Cos its my dream today..
Dying noo I mean love , peace .. Why you want dying !!!!!?
Sitting on the patio having a smoke while the rain slowly hitting the ground drowning out my silent screams of Pain
My phone need a cigarette after this song
That’s a good one. Top shelf comment.
😂😂😂
Lmfaoooooo😂
Only a cigarette? Mine gets whiskey.. 😅
My sentiments exactly ❤
This guy is a master, sheeren doesn't even come close. How have i never heard of this guy? Hes my new favourite
The pain of life pulling the heart strings and blues plays on
I came and I don't know why, but here I am and here I will stay. Long live blue forever!
The good lord had no choice but to open the skies after his soul begged for it here. Jeesh.
I love this song, but had never heard of Foy Vance, I love learning new things and musicians.❤❤❤❤❤ What a soulful song.
The first time I heard this song a few months ago, it was like a dam burst inside of me. I couldn't stop crying. This is a masterpiece.
I'm the type of person who FEELS music more than i hear it. This song had me feeling some type of way that i don't think I've ever felt. i got goose bumps and chills to my core. I just discovered you tonight. Cant wait to check out more of your music!!
I agree, Listening to him is an emotional music voyage
Absolutely, my brother I feel music I interpret it the best I can when I pick up my own guitar, but sometimes the feeling being overwhelming like this tune.
I felt every piece of that. What a vocal. There are a few songs out there that I will just put on repeat for a while. This is one of them. Al Green's 'How Can You Mend A Broken Heart' is another.
The ORIGINAL unbeaten, deep from the soul, the guts and the heart - thank you so much. Feel the weight of every songline, and it fills my heart. Thank you so much!!!
I was listening to this in my room in the middle of the night, had to go out for a cigarette because of how angelic his voice is only to find out it was raining heavily .. pure magic! I found myself walking aimlessly, removed my hoodie for the rain to pour straight unto me .. speechless
Ignorance is bliss.
Well thats not smart while smoking a cigarette
That is beautiful
@@rienkleereveld4384 😅😅😅great replly😅😅😅
true smokers can relate with the feeling, that unique feeling, of walking down the street with rain powering over our heads, whilst having a distant thought, just feeling, maybe for the first time in days, weeks or so, just feeling, feeling alive....
This song absolutely rips your heart
out and fringe everything out of it...
come back every so often to listen to this masterpiece & it still amazes me. Absolute perfection.... just incredible, shout out to the guitar too
I honestly love Sheeran's take on this, but this is the man who wrote it; this rendition is as raw & soulful as it was intended, and I genuinely prefer this original version
I listened to this at least 50 times, and I still get goosebumps!
Man....this is absolutely brilliant! Words can not describe what listening to this song does to me.
Heard this for the first time last night, I’m back again a few hours later to listen again. Unreal vocals, so powerful, I’m 110% immersed.
How i wish there was a video recording of Foy singing this song. His body language and facial expressions would be priceless.
So much recognition this song has received I’ve been listening to this man for years, I’m glad others have been given the opportunity to listen to his passionate voice.
RUclips just recommended this song to me.
As I sat here and listened to this song for the first time, the most disturbing thing has been happening:
As I think about my past. of my mother and biological father, how much suffering occurred between their abusive tendencies. my brother and I caught in the landslide of their ways as children back then.
I start to cry. As I do,
the tears are burning my eye sockets, quite unbearably. All the times we shared, holding eachother scared, my brother and I, listening to violent beatings enacted by a crackhead father onto our mother, in front of us, give or take if we were next...
Sure enough, I hear the lyrics "I know these tears will bring me pain"
I was shocked that in fact this was happening quite literally at the moment, my tears were bringing me physical pain as I allowed more of my heart to be vulnerable to the voice of Foy Vance. I have never quite experienced burning tears ever in my life... There could be something esoteric happening here.. as I don't believe in coincidences. There was something greater at work during this experience
And in short,
This is one of the greatest songs any human could possibly hear. I'm grateful for the existence of this lyricist and vocalist. Thank you. You've heal me this day.
Michael Phillips I cried reading your comment cause I felt the same and went through and still in a similar experience . I just pray we will find our peace and happiness one day 😊
Music is powerful isn't it.
Shonny Newton the rain and the tears heal my frend 🎶🌈
@@bouguilameriem5547 You are a good guy, i hope your prayers will be answered.
Michael Phillips This is truly a song that reaches straight to the heart. Your story is what brings tears to my eyes. you have overcome great resistance. I hope your path and journey through life is filled with peace and happiness.
Oigo muchisima musica , de todos los estilos , pero este tema la interpretacion y la musica esta a otro nivel.
Creo que es la mejor cancion desde hace mucho tiempo.
How could any human listen to this song without crying! OMG his voice catches all the tears and fears in my soul!
its harder downn here in South Aafrica
Thank you Foy... This is simply extraordinary performance. I think one of the best that I ever listen. Amazing!!! Great voice...
These lyrics are beyond amazing. Such brilliant writing!
Wow! Glad I decided to click on this song! I’ve been jamming a lot of blues lately and trying to find artists I haven’t heard. Wow... just wow
Mr Foy Vance, you throw every emotion into this song. I've seen Muddy Waters live and although he was amazing, I feel your soul in my heart. That, my friend, is lightening and very rare. Love, love this.
Hello Fuphyter. How are you doing today. Hope all is going well over there?
This song makes me feel so good . His voce sounds like heaven !
This is what I call MUSIC!!!!
I have no words to describe what I think for this performance..... It's magical and so touching...no no no ....words are not good enough 😱😱😱😱🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
10/30/2017 SIP dad I cried like baby to this one! Gone but not forgotten. Marvin Eugene Cushion
How much must a person go through to have the ability to sing with such conviction and emotion?
Honest to god. One of the best version I’ve ever heard. Make me cry again and again
But it's the original version
@@joaovictorbrittobastos1421 I didn’t knew man. Thanks
I had no idea this was the original! The whole time i thought this was a Ed sheeran song im so happy I came across this!! Honestly this is better than eds cover no disrespect to ed sheeran but my god this version is incredible!
You should hear the craig edi cover for the voice is wonderful.
It is the original.
Foy wrote this.
Wasn't going to comment, but every part of this song gives me goosebumps. Vocals, the melody, the band. Trifecta. This is music to me, fee it in my soul, my pores.
The energy of a great performance of the song penetrates all the molecules of the body and brain.The feeling intensifies when you remember footage from the series Sons of Anarchy.Thank you very much !
Such a beautiful voice could listen to him all day 😍😍😍
" And let lightning be the veins that fill the sky.. " - Ingeniously!!

Jesus! The beauty of this song
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
Even though
I know this fire brings me pain
Even so
And, Lord, 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
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 their eyes
But they may as well be in vain
Even though
I know these tears will bring me pain
Even so
And, Lord, 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
The seas fill with water
Stops by the shore
Just like the riches of grandeur
Never reach the port
Let the clouds fill with thunderous applause
Oh, let lightning be the veins
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

Mercy...the song is beautiful..
Foy talks directly with my soul, what an amazing artist he's, WOW
What a soul, what a energy and what a voice. Deeply connectid, no excape...
Man this is great gut-wrenching music for the soul, body and mind. Eargasm stuff...who couldn't be sincerely moved by that voice and axe! Just WOW!! So good 👍
Opening lines just do it for me.. sins of our fathers..the pain of our mothers..deep in our souls... priceless
Какой блюз, какое исполнение, какой надрыв, браво!!!!
HOLY SHIT! I mean C'mon do I need to say anything else but Holy Shit? Really? This is a man bleeding soul, bleeding feeling. This man is truly gifted and not getting the recognition he deserves. I mean if this don't make you close your eyes and come to tears you need to look up different music homie because this here, this here is grown folk music.
I love this song so much, can´t stop listening to it. Bravo!
I love Foy Vance, he is an amazing artist and I hope he gets his due!
I was listening to Mighty Sam McClain's "When the hurt is over", and someone commented that it reminded them of this song. I'm so glad I decided to listen. Another great, heart wrenching, soul stirring song to add to my life.
Thank You for uploading.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Mighty Sam McClain is amazing....
Don's tunes
Dedra Buchanan
now im gonna listen that Sam McClain's song you wrote about..
1 minute through the song reminded me of the hurt is over and now I'm going to play it
I love Sam McClain. Good ol Don needs to keep blessing us with good music.
This man's version blows Ed Sheeran's out of the galaxy.
The emotion of this song will run you over like a locomotive...
Indeed... I don't think you can truly listen to this song without crying.
I'm a train that don't know How to stop.
This is soo beautiful, I don't know how I even got into blues and jazz but I regret nothing ☺️
Beautiful voice ..I try to sing this in and outside of my range.. but this is special... We can all heal the world through our voices.. Looking forward to hear more of you
This was the last song that I sent my dad before he died and he loved it. This song to me is him in some way. Make it rain, Dad❤️
I love how slow and soulful this is
Não canso de ouvir! Essa música é o meu oxigênio...
Sei do que você esta falando. Também existe uma música que me deixa assim.
how come ppl dislike this beautiful masterpiece i'm pretty sure they don't have a good taste of music
Just listened to Cakra Khan do this one and even though I adore him, I think I like Foy even more. He has the original rasp and so much soul. Love,love,love.
