"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is a classic rock song by Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), written by John Fogerty and released on their 1970 album Pendulum. Known for its melancholy lyrics and timeless melody, the song reflects the internal struggles within the band despite their commercial success. Fogerty later explained that "the rain" symbolized the sense of gloom and disillusionment he felt, even as CCR achieved fame. The line “coming down on a sunny day” hints at emotional turbulence amid outward success. While many fans interpret the song as a response to the Vietnam War or social issues of the time, it primarily captures the personal tensions that eventually led to the band’s breakup. Its heartfelt lyrics and nostalgic tone make it one of CCR's most enduring hits.
