I'll Take the Rain
"I'll Take the Rain" is the third and final single from American rock band R.E.M.'s 12th studio album, "Reveal" (2001). Released on November 19, 2001, the song reached number 44 on the UK Singles Chart but failed to chart on the US "Billboard" Hot 100. The single's music video, directed by David Weir, represented the first time the band has released an entirely animated music video. The clip is suitably moody to match the pace of the song, and follows the adventures of a crown-bearing dog and a living wooden cart  (shown on the single cover) as he or she explores an island. The song was included on the album "r.e.m.IX" and also performed on "MTV Unplugged" in 2001. Track listings. All songs were written by Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Michael Stipe.
