This is so so good - I can't describe how much I love this song and the craftmanship of Ricky Ross. I remember arriving back into the UK from Canada and travelling for my new job from Skelmersdale to Knowsley. It was freezing, bitter, dark and 6am in the morning. This was on the radio and I thought - I'm home - I'm home . Love it. Thank you so much for posting.
Still have it one of the best versions of this song always being played in our Home, still remember the Corn exchange in Cambridge where you played saying Cambridge you Rock!!! Great Night, thank you
Always loved this track but the acoustic version just has that touch of something else to it!. Same with Bethlehem's Gate...that's a great acoustic track too.
It`s a rain dirt town job hurts but it don`t pay All these calls they`re making me and driving you insane Don`t you see Don`t you understand Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am. You`re in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go I`m down here working on some dumb show In a raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around It takes a big hearted girl from the North Country you can tell How you payed those bills and went through Heaven and hell And you You cried and you traveled and you spat but you never asked Well how long how long how long is this pain You`re on for three minutes trying hard to say hello I`m down here working on some dumb show In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around Sitting at home listening to your radio Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show What`s he saying What`s he saying What`s he saying In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns In a Raintown Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around Raintown Rain down On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns Raintown Rain down On all those days you`re not around You`re not around You`re not around
Great version but I keep hearing Lorraine in my head haha. Never heard a song where it really can’t be done justice without the original “backing singer”

I've been listening to this song for 30 years✨✨✨
Ricky ross has been touched with a smidgeon of genius!
Absolutely agree with that, bro'.
Great turn of phrase and I completely concur!! And yet he is so modest and cool about being so gifted, isn't he?
This one works so well on the piano! He plays it so effortlessly. God bless his talent!! So modest!!
Wow!! I think this song just got even more beautiful!
The original!
Some people just have “it” . Ricky Ross has “it”. This is brilliant
Ricky you are amazing , i grew up with deacon blue, i loved your music then and i still love it now , you guys are amazing, please keep it up X
Beautiful version!!! It's amazing!
Just listened to this with the headphones on, brilliant, made my day :)

Makes me melancholy
It`s a rain dirt town job hurts but it don`t pay
All these calls they`re making me and driving you insane
Don`t you see
Don`t you understand
Waiting for the phone to ring to make me all I am.
You`re in the suburbs waiting for somewhere to go
I`m down here working on some dumb show
In a raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
It takes a big hearted girl from the North Country you can tell
How you payed those bills and went through
Heaven and hell
And you
You cried and you traveled and you spat but you never asked
Well how long how long how long is this pain
You`re on for three minutes trying hard to say hello
I`m down here working on some dumb show
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
Sitting at home listening to your radio
Listening for your old friend talking on some dumb show
What`s he saying
What`s he saying
What`s he saying
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
In a Raintown
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
Raintown
Rain down
On all those tired eyes and tears and frowns
Raintown
Rain down
On all those days you`re not around
You`re not around
You`re not around
👌

Great version but I keep hearing Lorraine in my head haha. Never heard a song where it really can’t be done justice without the original “backing singer”
