Taken from "Tall Stories & New Regions" out on now!

A little too often, I think I reached for rain as a catch-all for lots of things that might be going on. But I do like the way that She Comes from the Rain makes the gentle point that good love comes from things that might not be so great. This was the Weather Prophets single that kicked off our short tenure at Elevation/WEA, the label that Alan McGee founded to have his favourite Creation acts of the time on a major. I remember being told that She Comes from the Rain’s first week chart position was higher than the new Elton John single. That felt very odd, but things got back to normal pretty soon after that and Elton has continued to do quite well. I always felt that there was potential for something a bit more swinging in the song, which I hope we’ve now brought out!
Don't miss Pete Astor on tour!
