Music, song and work of the rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL HISTORY AND MUSIC...

My favorite rock band CCR

The CCR group, founded in 1967, has promoted such musical trends as rock and roll, psychedelic rock, country rock, blues rock, and saten rock. The band consists of John Fogerty, Tom Fogerty, Stu Cook and Doug Clifford. This is how they worked - writing lyrics and music, touring the United States and other countries, until the group disbanded in 1971. The friction began due to the fact that all the work of the group was directed to one person (group member) - John Fogerty. Nobody wanted to be an accompanist anymore. And that was a fatal mistake for the whole group. As soon as John tried to convey the creativity and performance of the songs at concerts and the release of the new album "Mardi Gras", he immediately failed. All the songs written by Doug Clifford and Stu Cook were of average quality and even John's trial versions of Sweet Hitch-Hiker and Hello Mary Lou did not save the deteriorating situation. Music reviewers and critics called this album the group's worst ever. The great group fell apart. The parting of all members of the group was not good due to problems with the Fantasy label, where they lost a large amount of money, which, even after many trials, were never returned. the paths of the group members parted. After the breakup of CCR, John Fogerty began a successful solo career, which gave us many more wonderful songs and good music.

Information for all fans of the rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival. Song written by John Fogerty. It was included on the album Pendulum of his band Creedence Clearwater Revival, and in 1971 it was released as a single from it. The song reached its highest place in the charts in Canada, where in March 1971 it was at number 1 on the national RPM100 singles chart published by RPM magazine. In the USA in the same year, the single was on the 8th place of the "Hot 100" of the Billboard magazine, and in the pop-chart of the Cash Box magazine it reached the 3rd place. In the UK, the single peaked at number 36. It was Creedence Clearwater Revival's eighth single to achieve gold sales status. And this is already a story from the world of music for all of us who love to listen to the performance of these wonderful guys in the evenings, and even John Fogerty himself.

«Have You Ever Seen The Rain?»

And again, complete delight, my friends!
This is me who is currently listening to the song - Have You Ever Seen The Rain? I write the translation of the lyrics with my own verse additions. Since I see it - an artist or there ... a poet, a writer of texts and a translator for a small part. But the song text does not lose any sense.

Someone told me a long time ago
But the trouble - did not show ...
What is the calm before the storm
In cloudless azures
I know this has been going on for a long time
Although there is no sense in it,
When it's all over, they'll say this
That the world is all slag
It will rain on a sunny day
Every drop of the body trembles
I know, sparkling all the water,
Down on the cities!

I want to know - have you ever seen rain
If not, everything else is false.
I want to know - have you ever seen rain
If so, then you will find happiness under the rain,
Pouring on a sunny day
Where the deceiving shadow disappears!

Yesterday and days before
When the weather transitions in revenge,
The sun is not warming and the rain is pouring,
With its constant daytime beauty,
I know it's always been like this with me
Especially when it rains in stripes
And while the endless movement in a circle continues,
Imitating a heartbeat
Fast and slow -
And as if slowly,
I know it's impossible to stop it, can you
In this natural spectacle!

I recommend watching a wonderful song from my distant youth:
