I could totally picture him playing this song in an Irish pub as the Sons seat in a back booth discussing business with McGee or Jimmy O in season three of the Sons :-D
Shazam brought me here :0). No, Shazam let me hear Ed Sheeran's version, then I heard Matt McAndrew's version at The Voice. And Rolling Stone magazine disclosed who the author was. So, that's why I am here. Hail to Foy Vance!!! And huge thanks for sharing this video!
After finding Foy Vance I can’t stop watching him or hearing the sound of his deep emotion in his music I’ve fallen in love 🥰 I love 💕 to hear him talk also my Irishman
what's sad is that no one here realizes that the song they heard on SoA is a COVER of this ... and done by Ed Sheeran not Foy Vance (this guy, and the original artist)
Another fascinating performance with Foy, The McCreary Sisters, and Mike Farris. THis was such a treat meeting Foy! These were the special, surprise gifts from the cruise. ~~ Wayne Thanks Jay for posting.
This song is seriously one of my favorites now. Foy Vance you are so talented thank you for this sond and Thank you Matt McAndrew from The Voice for leading me here. :)
When a singer sings like that and a lyric scratching a gospel song like this one. The result is a small taste of the real gospel. Great song and interpretation.
Yesss, I have LOVED Foy Vance for ages! So soulful. ♡ My other favorite cover of this is Shoshana Bean (at Ace hotel). If you haven't heard it yet, do yourself a favor... maybe the most powerful climax to a song that I've ever heard!
Kurt Sutter Showed us the way, SoA gave it Fame Foy Gave it Life and Matt Let it GO! to all those out there who love music this is how its supposed to Roll!
Ed's talent is so disproportionate, I come to talk about him on his cover of the already superb original version. He performs top performance with each performance. Respect
+Patrick Duffy Dudes ! The man paid Foy Vance a compliment! No need to jump all up in his shit about it. If someone tells me that I nailed one of MY songs, I'm appreciative of that. WTF is WRONG with you ?!
I was probably drunk when I typed that, as I have no idea what I was trying to say. I'm a big Foy Vance fan, but if I wasn't, I would make a joke about nailing your mom or something.
I think his talent probably brought him here, but hey... a light "hating" is always expected against greatness! "The Bear Man" 🐻 @BearManMountaineering facebook.com/BearManMountaineering
is this the original version of this song? Isn't there an album version somewhere? I have already looked up for it but can't find that information anywhere... I'd love to hear a studio version of this! (apart from the one by Ed Sheeran)
Yes this is the OG of "Make It Rain". Written and sang by the incredible Foy Vance. This live rendition Mr. Vance is joined by Gospel singers The McCrary Sisters and Mike Farris.
the Tom Waits tune isn't even close to the same song ... they only things they have in common are the name of the song, that someone sings it, that there's music behind the vocals, and that they're both sort of 'bluesy'
Yeah it doesn't make sense seeing how Foy Vance and Ed Sheeran were both recording and traveling venues together?! SOA knew that Mr. Vance was the OG writer and singer of this epic song.
The wounds run deep for generations. You take the pain to the grave. There is no rest in peace for sometimes it comes back. Let it rain and wash it all away but it can't. The hopelessness of a dog on a chain for all their life, the cow in a slaughter truck, the child abducted, raped and murdered, the hate because one's skin, features and beliefs are different, the evil runs so deep it can never rain hard enough to wash it away. I am done with this world. I've been done with it for a long, long time. Welsh woman born and bred 1961 now living in Sturgis, South Dakota USA HELL ON EARTH. Britain said the rise of the 3rd Reich would happen in the USA and it has with Trump, same hate, same propaganda, same low life types that believe the bullshit. Let it rain here and wash them all away. I'm done.
Gustav Rubbestad Which is often what Kurt made people do for the series, he wanted to bring out more talent, with different types of versions and genres :) Just listen to the Bohemian Rhapsody version he had made for the first episode in the last season.
He is using a looper pedal. He records a track on that pedal and when he turns it on, it will loop whatever he recorded. It is useful for if you want to make complex thing, or solo. Ed Sheeran uses them too when he sings live.
+Xander McCat Andrew is right. see two brilliant examples of Foy here at the mtv sessions. building the song from the start. www.mtv.co.uk/foy-vance/videos/foy-vance
I wanna start by saying I love the song, but....Does anyone know the song's meaning? I try to wrap my head around it but I don't entirely get it. English is not really my first language so there may be something i'm missing. To be honest I don't even get if "make it rain" refers to money or something completely diferent(which is what i suspect). That may show to anyone willing to answer my lvl of understanding. Anyway ty in advance and imo a great great song.
Well i think it may have something to do with third world countries like africa because he says the seed needs the water before it grow out of the the ground the he says it just keeps getting hard, and hunger more profound. And then he says make it rain down lord. So it could have something to do starvation and limited water source in places like africa.
I'm a year late on the reply, but here is the explanation if you have not figured it out. The song is about a man struggling with his past and who he is. For example he is talking about the sins of his father and pain of his mother, or how his life just keeps getting harder. Now both biblically and in life fire has a destructive and transforming property. God used fire raining from the sky to punish Egypt, and to free the Jewish slaves in the bible. Thus the line in the song I know there can come fire from the sky. In life farmers for example use fire to destroy old crops. But afterwards the soil is more fertile than it was before. So in the song the man is asking for god to figuratively make it rain fire on his life. To destroy who he was, and change him into a new and better person.

His voice and soul take me to another place not on this planet of earth.
I could totally picture him playing this song in an Irish pub as the Sons seat in a back booth discussing business with McGee or Jimmy O in season three of the Sons :-D
@Miss Gehunw. I can also picture Joe Cocker singing this epic song.
The love of great music brought me here.
I need more of this in my life! That soul.. goodness that soul.
H.E.R then Ed now Foy.... So glad I found the original
Me too!! Just heard H.E.R, then Ed now the original. Man this Irish man has soul.
Ellie Sings yes..... So soulful I Love it!
Lassah Mundine if you haven’t heard it.. check out Shoshana Bean’s Version, White Gown On AMAZING vocal performance!
Koryn Hawthornes version too
No matter what version of this...Foy will be so much more awesome.
This makes me very proud to be from Northern Ireland, having talent like this come from here. This song is one of my favs of all time
Clearly the best version of this song. The original.. Done and done.
Yes but without ed sheeran I would never had discoverd this and both versions are good in my opinion
It is so good that ed sheeran is bringing a lot of attention to a great song and artist.
No its just such a shame that the public will mostly never hear this
Checking this out because of SOA...
This song is ridiculous, I can't stop listening over and over and over!
Totally agree!
I experience the same thing! It's so haunting and so deep...
agree too
RIP Jax
And I cry every time

So raw and emotional....Foy Vance, you are a true artist
Currently obsessed with this song.
Thank you, SOA, the love this mans voice!!

Some Northern Ireland SOUL
What I wouldn’t give to hear him play this live
This song is seriously one of my favorites now. Foy Vance you are so talented thank you for this sond and Thank you Matt McAndrew from The Voice for leading me here. :)
Matt Mac Andrew from The Voice brought me here Awesome song!!!! I can't stop listening to it either
Phenomenal Soul
Bone chilling soul at its best!! An amazingly written song, and amazing performance from all involved! Sharing. I'm addicted to this song.
Clay Shelburn YES YES YES 😃 Too Bones Of Soul !!! 👍
2:58 Oh my God, how cool he sang "even though i know this F-I-I-I-RE brings me pain"
You take my breath away. You are an incredible soul.
This is my favorite live version of this song. So much emotion and so deep.
Fire of soul...and deep love.
When a singer sings like that and a lyric scratching a gospel song like this one. The result is a small taste of the real gospel. Great song and interpretation.
@Seth Wellington I say is a soul with a bit of gospel. Make it rain down,Lord. Let's say a soul gospel.
He's so amazingly talented. Thank you S.O.A!
SOA always got the best of song they lead me here
Yesss, I have LOVED Foy Vance for ages! So soulful. ♡ My other favorite cover of this is Shoshana Bean (at Ace hotel). If you haven't heard it yet, do yourself a favor... maybe the most powerful climax to a song that I've ever heard!
The McCrary Sisters and Mike Farris accompany Foy on this one.
Wow, I thought that backup singer looked familiar but didn't realize it was Mike Farris. Great artist !!!
Kurt Sutter Showed us the way, SoA gave it Fame Foy Gave it Life and Matt Let it GO! to all those out there who love music this is how its supposed to Roll!
First time I heard this version. That is music! The best!
Soul is in the room. Wonderful performance.
I gives me gooseflesh *-* i love it!
It*
Ed's talent is so disproportionate, I come to talk about him on his cover of the already superb original version. He performs top performance with each performance. Respect
Damn. Incredible.
Just a man and his guitar, brilliant voice really gousebbumps
fucking goose bumps, this is just too beautiful!!!
Dude nailed this song!
this is HIS fucking song dummy! of course he nailed it!
John Peisithanatos Hahahaha, well said, sir!
+Patrick Duffy Dudes ! The man paid Foy Vance a compliment! No need to jump all up in his shit about it. If someone tells me that I nailed one of MY songs, I'm appreciative of that. WTF is WRONG with you ?!

Serious goosebumps at 3:10! Some lucky people in that bar!
A Beautiful Song
Wow amazing talent, so beautiful I can't put into words
God damn this is beautiful.
I havent heard the Her version but gotta say Foy Vance music with his vocals is something special.
Goose bumps pretty much the whole video even the knocked down glass got me teary
this guys is really good.. i wonder why he didnt make the soundtrack for SOA? he is really soulful...
I have to drink whiskey. Unbelievable.
What is that. How come i didnt know him. I know music, really. But this is a coup de cœur. Sorry, im speaking french.
When the sins of my father
Weigh down in my soul
And the pain of my mother
Will not let me go
This is beautiful
Эта компания - 💥
Хорошо что они есть...пусть даже где-то на другом конце света.
🫂
Ed put this on his Wembley Edition album. Very good.
Just wow
Thumbs up is Sons Of Anarchy brought you here.

Amazing, this is music!
Loved the pizza ads quick and easy and men they can sing
Wow, superb! 👍👍👋✌️
Crazy good
Foy Vance wrote this amazing song and Ed Sheeran covered it for SOA - but who is the amazing powerful female voice singing this?
The McCrary sisters along with Mike Farris join Foy Vance. Epic
Wow man!!
awesome voice
Take em to church Vance!
Sensational!
U def got some action that night dude :D
Head shaking means "goddamn this dude is good!"
Wow!

Dam and I thought ed did a good job but from the original writer it's just indescribable
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
like if you knew about the song and eds cover in his concerts way before SOA because i did!
Ed brought me here :)
Starts at 2:07
is this the original version of this song? Isn't there an album version somewhere? I have already looked up for it but can't find that information anywhere... I'd love to hear a studio version of this! (apart from the one by Ed Sheeran)
Yes this is the OG of "Make It Rain". Written and sang by the incredible Foy Vance. This live rendition Mr. Vance is joined by Gospel singers The McCrary Sisters and Mike Farris.
This is his originally right?
yes
no, it's by Tom Waits off of the 2004 album Real Gone.
the Tom Waits tune isn't even close to the same song ... they only things they have in common are the name of the song, that someone sings it, that there's music behind the vocals, and that they're both sort of 'bluesy'
RefriedAudio This song was COMPOSED by Foy Vance.
Starts at 2:20 :D
Damn
SOA brought me here as well
Chilllsss
And why wasn't the original version used in SoA?!
Yeah it doesn't make sense seeing how Foy Vance and Ed Sheeran were both recording and traveling venues together?! SOA knew that Mr. Vance was the OG writer and singer of this epic song.
that is why the song got pulled shadowblade
CAN YOU ALL BELIEVE THAT EVERY SHOE CAN ONLY GO SO FAR WITHOUT HAVING TO CLIMB A LIMB OR TWO
America's got talent brought me here

Do you want to know the knowledge of good and evil ?
im confused who's the original singer ,
apparently its not ED
none the less this is amazing
Foy Vance wrote this song :) Then Ed Sheeran recorded his version for Sons of Anarchy
Gustav Rubbestad thanks bro

omg i thought that Ed Sheeran wrote this song, but OK I still like it
Another one of our faves! 😁

А чого він на гітарі не грає?
Fuckin A!
God I wish there was a better recording of this
Ed Sheeran made a cover😏
Yeah Ed sheerans version is sick as hell
Is he just pretending to play along to a pre-recorded track? If not, who is playing guitar at 2:33?
He is using a looper pedal. He records a track on that pedal and when he turns it on, it will loop whatever he recorded. It is useful for if you want to make complex thing, or solo. Ed Sheeran uses them too when he sings live.

OMG I love it even more now. I'm practically DRENCHED in this song.
Jeramie Anderson , Many people don't understand this songs meaning. You do!!!
Story of my life
I saw a video where citizens bank were promoting him. Oh jesus fuck no!
He should have sang with the laddies on chorus instead of over singing. It could have been much better
