"Rain" is a song by the English progressive rock/hard rock band Uriah Heep, which was originally released on their fifth studio album, "The Magician's Birthday", in 1972.
 Though the song was never released as a single, it is one of the most well-known songs from the album.
 It was written by Ken Hensley, who also performed the keyboard/piano element of the song, with vocals by David Byron.
 It was the band's first song to utilize only the keyboards/piano and vocals with some additional bass guitar parts.
 AllMusic said the song was a "lovely piano ballad".
The Company of Snakes were an English rock band formed in 1998, by former members of the English rock band Whitesnake who were also members of The Snakes.

The Rats were an American garage punk band from Portland, Oregon, formed by Fred Cole previously of the garage rock band, The Lollipop Shoppe.
 Cole played guitar and sang, his wife, "Toody" played bass and sang, and initially Rod Rat played drums.
 Their sound was a raw mix of punk rock with occasional country touches.
 Their self-titled debut album appeared on Cole's Whizeagle label in 1980.
 Soon after, Rod Rat left the band, though he guested on the 1981 follow-up "Intermittent Signals" before his death by suicide.
 (Prior to his suicide Rod Rat (aka Rod Hibbert) also played drums in 1980-81 for Portland power pop band Domino Theory).
 Sam Henry, formerly of the Wipers, played drums on this LP but left to join another Portland band, Napalm Beach.
 Louis Samora was on the drum throne for the 1983 album "In a Desperate Red", still on Whizeagle.
 Samora left in 1984 to concentrate on his rockabilly band, The Jackals.
 The band broke up, but Bill Barker of Profile Studios in Vancouver, British Columbia convinced the band to reunite for a single.
 It appeared under the band name The Desperate Edge later in 1984.
 Soon after, Cole assembled a country band, Western Front, and he and Toody later reunited in Dead Moon.
 The Rats' records have long been out of print and sell for high prices on eBay.
 In 2008, Portland's Mississippi Records reissued the first album on vinyl.
