Stevie Nicks, an American singer-songwriter.

She’s a vocalist whose weapon is her voice with an enigmatic allure.

Once you start listening, there’s a strange feeling that you’ll keep the song on to the end, regardless of whether you like it or not.

This song, too, gives an exclusive, coolly distant impression through its lyrics, yet they don’t feel heavy—instead, they convey a kind of serene, “well, so be it” acceptance.

No RainBlind Melon

Blind Melon – No Rain (C) 1993 CAPITOL RECORDS

Included on the 1992 album “Blind Melon.” A five-piece rock band from Los Angeles formed in 1990.

The acoustic guitar’s tone leaves a deep impression, and the track really lingers in your heart.

The vocals, sung to match the pop yet slightly melancholic melody, are light and nicely polished.

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?Creedence Clearwater Revival

This is “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”—a signature song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, commonly known as CCR.

According to an urban legend, the band’s name “Clearwater” pays homage to bluesman Muddy Waters—contrasting his “muddy” water with “clear” water.

The Japanese title is “Ame o Mitakai” (“Have You Seen the Rain?”).

In fact, some interpret “rain” as referring to napalm used in war, reading the song as anti-war.

No RainBlind Melon

Included on Blind Melon’s 1992 debut album, Blind Melon, the song’s music video became a huge hit, making the “Bee Girl” character wildly popular in the United States.

Although vocalist Shannon Hoon had appeared in a Guns N’ Roses music video before the band’s debut—giving them name recognition ahead of time—they were not a hard rock band, but rather an alternative rock band with a Southern rock lean.

This is the fifth single from Erotica, Madonna’s fifth album released in 1992—the living legend of American female singers and the original diva.

In the music video, Madonna’s calm look with black hair is striking, which is unusual for her.

While many of her hits feature dance-oriented sounds, Rain offers a more subdued feel, with her singing as if quietly speaking of love.

It’s a single that reveals a new side of Madonna.
