About Rain on Your Parade

"Rain on Your Parade" is a song by Welsh singer Duffy from the deluxe version of her debut studio album Rockferry (2008). It was released as the lead and only single from the deluxe album worldwide on 9 November 2008. The song was written by Duffy and Rockferry collaborator Steve Booker and produced by Booker. It is an up-tempo pop song in which Duffy uses an idiom for ruining her lover and their intentions. The song marked a departure from the down-tempo soul and balladry of the original version of Rockferry, incorporating elements of R&B and soul. It received positive reviews from critics, with many complementing Duffy's vocals. The song was originally recorded in aim to be released as the James Bond theme from Quantum of Solace, although "Another Way to Die" was chosen instead. Musically, the song was compared to previous title themes chosen for the franchise, making use of strings. It was called a "big, retro-sounding pop-soul number". Commercially, the song was a moderate chart success, peaking at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, and reaching the top ten on the Italian FIMI Singles Chart. The song's accompanying music video featured Duffy in a style never previously connected with her, with a complicated dance routine and violin players. Duffy performed "Rain on Your Parade" on several television shows including The Royal Variety Show and New Year Live, whilst it has since featured on several film soundtracks and compilation albums. The song was released alongside three B-sides, one of which, titled "Smoke Without Fire" was written for the film An Education. more »

I wish you well, I hope you survive
I hope you live, oh baby, so I can watch you cry

Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back

[Chorus]
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you

I pity the fools who believe in you
Cause I know someday now they'll see your colors too
And if you see a smile besides my face, no, I'm doing good now
Since you've been erased

Cause I know in time you'll see what you did to me
And you'll come running back

[Chorus]

I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on you
I'm gonna rain on you

I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you

I'm gonna rain on your parade, no, I won't take it again
And I'll keep raining, raining, raining over you
