The fourth solo single from Son of Han, 'Het Regent', is a song by Rick Derringer. 'It's Raining' is a forgotten track on the 1973 album 'All American Boy'. The song is bilingual and has been renewed and rearranged, played and sung by Son of Han. The animation video for 'It's Raining' and 'Het Regent' was made by Tessa van Vuren.
Son of Han on 'It's Raining' / 'Het Regent':
“This song, from Rick Derringer's album 'All American Boy', has been stuck in my head for decades. It's a simple love song about sheltering together during bad weather. In the animation video, my daughter and son-in-law are walking in the rain with their baby Cian, my grandson, in a baby carrier. Under their rainbow umbrella, they traverse the magical world of that little one, for whom everything is new and exciting. Our version is about love, security, adventure and imagination.
Compared to the original song, I completely changed the musical arrangement and beat. It was a lot of fun playing all the instruments this time, including the saxophones. Because Cian is raised bilingually, I decided to make a Dutch version in addition to the original English version. For me it was new and frankly a bit crazy to sing in Dutch for once! The rhythm, sound and atmosphere are perhaps distantly reminiscent of my previous single, 'Joan Miró'. I just have a thing for that childish fantasy world, and since the birth of Cian I've been very busy with it again. I hope that amazement comes across in the song and Tessa's animation.”
lyrics
It's rainin'
Been rainin' for a long, long time
I don't know when the sun is gonna shine
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
The water is risin' in the town
Last report said more rain's comin' down
It's rainin'
The road is blocked, no place to go
Too bad there ain't no late night show
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
It's rainin'
Been rainin' for a long, long time
I don't know when the sun is gonna shine
I'm stranded till the hurricane's through
But at least I know I'm stranded with you
