The band is led by British journeyman rocker Mick Jones (former member of Nero and the Gladiators, Spooky Tooth, and The Leslie West Band) who in early 1976 met with ex-King Crimson member Ian McDonald and formed Foreigner with Lou Gramm of Rochester, NY - As three other musicians who were all unknown at the time to form a sextet. The band's debut album Foreigner sold more than four million copies in the United States and stayed in the Top Twenty for a year with such hits as "Feels Like the First Time", "Cold as Ice", and "Long Long Way From Home". Their sophomore effort, Double Vision, topped their previous selling five million records and spawned "Hot Blooded" and title track "Double Vision". The third album Head Games was also successful due to the thunderous "Dirty White Boy" and another title track hit "Head Games". 1980 brought personnel changes so that now the band was a quartet and Rick Wills played bass.

Rain Lyrics

Foreigner

Brother, always reaching far too high
But I can see the tragic side, and it aint easy
And brother you wont let anybody help
Why do you sacrifice yourself?
You cant go on this way
Tell me why, oh why?
Why dont you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There aint no good reason why
Youve got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the suns gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Hey sister, another story must be told
Just count the blessings you still hold
Whats done is done
Hey sister, you can find the one you need
Dont have to live the life you lead
Dont be the lonely one
Tell me why, oh why?
Why dont you open up your heart?
Let the light from inside
Show us who you are
And when it looks like rain
And when the dark clouds fill your sky
There aint no good reason why
Youve got to feel the pain
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the suns gonna shine, oooh
Dont get down and dont get washed away, oooh
Just remind yourself every day
That into each life
A little rain must fall
So let it rain
Rain, oooh
Even when it looks like rain
Just hold your head up high
I know the suns gonna shine
Even when it looks like rain
Rain, rain, rain
When it looks like rain . . .
