"Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" is a song written by John Fogerty and released as a single in 1971 from the album Pendulum (1970) by American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The song charted highest in Canada, reaching number 1 on the RPM 100 national singles chart in March 1971.
In the U.S., in the same year, it peaked at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100,
In the UK it only reached number 36.
Fogerty stated that the song was written about the fact that the band were at the top of the charts, had surpassed all of their wildest expectations of fame and fortune and they were rich and famous, but somehow all of the members were depressed and unhappy; thus the line "Have you ever seen the rain, coming down on a sunny day".
The band split up in October the following year after the release of the album ‘Mardi Gras’.
Enjoy!
