Marianne Faithfull - What Have They Done To The Rain Just a little rain falling all around, The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound. Just a little rain, just a little rain, What have they done to the rain ? Just a little boy, standing in the rain, A gentle rain that falls for years. And the grass is gone, the boy disappears, And rain keeps falling like helpless tears And what have they done to the rain ? Just a little breeze out of the sky, The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by. Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye, What have they done to the rain ? Just a little boy, standing in the rain, A gentle rain that falls for years. And the grass is gone, the boy disappears, And rain keeps falling like helpless tears And what have they done to the rain ? And what have they done to the rain ?
@MusicMadMaurice The "rain" refers to radioactive fallout after a nuclear holocaust. Remember this song was written at the height of the "Cold War" in the 1960s.
There would be so much dust and debris hurled upwards the rain would be black when it fell and those below would be so thirsty they would open their mouths to try and catch as much as they could and at the same time sealing their fate
@@jaswmclark the cold war was hardly the point. You say, 'the cold war', like it explains everything and there's nothing to see here, so move along. Lets have a look at what you actually mean it. The narrative calledm the cold war, goes like this: Two superpowers are engaged in an arms race. Each spend a decade bombing the stratosphere because they are rivals. Saber rattling? Was the cold war a contest to see who could make the biggest blast? Was it a race to perfect the tech? The fact is that the bomb was already plenty effective and ending human settlements of any size. So why did they continue with the bombing for 10 years? And why test way up high? What could that tell you about a bomb? The answer is absolutely crucial to know if you want to understand the untold true history of the 20th Century. The question was put to Amy Shira, historian of Apollo Missions (Utube chanel, Vintage Space) Amy contributes a little anecdote, which she then rejects as unimportant. She says that Dr James van Allen had once speculated that the radiation around our planet might be dispensed with if the right EMP were brought to bear. Amy says this isnt the reason why the stratosphere was relentlessly attacked. And yet, anyone investigating the reason for this Operation Dominic may well concludem independently, that this is exactly what happened. The military, then, had set about harnessing tax payers money to find the right EMP component which was to switch off the magnetic field of earth. This was a futile venture at best, based apon sheer speculation and erroneous notions. The earth has no magnetic generator of its own. The earths magnetism is induced into the iron rich crust by the solar windm over billions of years of gentle strokes of charged CMEs. The power EMP have over magnetic fields is not to do with permanent magnets, it is only applicable to electromagnets, unless I'm mistaken. Those who say the earth makes the magetic field point to the iron core and the spin and vortex movement caused by thermal currents deep down. But the core is too hot to have any magnetic effectm since the currie point of iron is well below what we find even quite close to the surface,.given the global scale. That may be wrong, but it's what i suspect. However, what we do know is that if they had been sucessful then they would've destroyed the magnetism that protects all life on earth from extreme ultraviolet, the low wavelength end. A mass extinction event would quickly have followed a successful outcome. So we can assume the experiment was a failure, since we are all still breathing. What they did achieve was another layer of radioactivity around the planet, a new one, an artificial belt of radioactive energy. Some folk get confused about all the different units of measurements for radioactivity, so allow me to clear up one or two points. The first is that lethal means lethal. The new layer of poison was powerful enough to take out satalites. In factm within 5 year of StarFishPrime, a 4ktn bomb, 1962, the last USA atmospheric bomb, all the satalites were killed. So if it can kill satalites, it can kill people, who are much softer than electornics from the 50s. Lethal is a good word to avoid confusion. The other point I'd like to make is about Alpha radiation. It is often put out there that Alpha radiation can't even pass through paper, and it's very weak and hardly worth bothering about. It is true that Alpha can't transpass paper, but you wouldn't want it in your bed! You wouldn't want to ingest it, like the poor double agent Vitor Litvenyenkov, who's convelenscence and hospital bed was so often rendered on our screens. Poor victor. Lucky us though, to have survived such a global ordeal, to have survived such misguided leadership. 5 years after Operations Dominic, once sky bombs were made illegal, the artifical belt of radiation abated enough to allow radiation hardened satalites to once again be safely deployed. All they had to deal with now was the heat of 120°C . Some of them would need to pass into high orbit, which would mean passing through the first belt of lethal ionic energy. These must have been sheilded with a titanium shell before shedding that once through the belt. Thats what happened with the Juno mission, so that's probably what they do, although they don't talk about it. The radiation belts have never gone away. The temperature in orbit, in the sun is 120°C. Life onboard the ISS is hot, crampedm smelly and uncomfortable. Elevated radiation means that you are going to die of cancer in the end, but also that your bones will rot as you float in orbit. Our brave female astornaut , recently returned to us, is not suffering from gravity deprivation, but from radiation sickness. (That is a poor name for ionic radiation sickness.) The heat and elevated levels of radioactivity are seldom mentioned on TV and podcasts. They raise too many questions about the moonlandings. Like, how did the film get so well shielded from the little radiation they admitted the astronauts got? How did they manage with shade, and how could they have claimed to be cold?

I thought in those days...the 1960s...she looked like an Angel and sounded wonderful. I'm now 72 and I still enjoy her singing. And of course I now have a head of white hair and live life at a slower pace. Thank you Marianne for your singing.
I feel some songs ( maybe all) are a ‘time machine’....life was simpler....I was more carefree....and here I am....back to “reflect”.....so happy to have been a teenager growing up in the 60’s......we were fortunate....and at 70....life is better because of these songs and those times...... mark
MusicMadMaurice Not all of us were ‘socially conscious’......nor wanted to be. Music and girls ( not necessarily in that order) were front and center....and coming of age. Lots of questions......not so many answers....I’m sure acid rain is alive and well somewhere....but my interests are (still)...not affected by that....perhaps by personal preference. Rock on brother....😐😊
@@andrewyoung2796 Hahaha! Good one. Snow on the roof. And don't forget thick frost on the window panes (I now wear glasses) In those days I had a furnace in the fire place. Now its more glowing embers!
@MusicMadMaurice Hahaha. I remember that! I could never concentrate on my maths and physics clearly. My head was always all fogged up with thoughts of scantily clad girls. I blame it on testosterone.
Marianne... your wonderful voice and songs got me through many tough times in my life. I collected your records since 1982...This little bird and come stay with me are my favorites. Thanks for the music.
@@davidchamberlain5425 Het is gewoon zo, die hese stem is niet vanzelf gekomen. In haar boek beschrijft ze zelf zonder omwegen hoe erg het met haar gesteld was.
This makes me think of the happiest time of my life. A time when all my family was still together in our homeplace. I still remember the old hiFi set that we used to play this album on. Thanks for posting this!
Living in the sixties I was blessed with hearing the real birth of pop music. Marianne Faithfully was incredibly beautiful and talented,it is easy to see why so many men were attracted to her. Her music is as popular today as it was then.
@@michaelgaynor6866 ....Marianne Faithful is still doing Concerts but her voice is sooooooo raspy/hard. That it hurts to watch her any more. Mick Jagger did a good job on destroying her voice wih drug`s. Can`t stand that ugly FREAK.
She wrote Sister Morphine, Jagger came up with the melody but Marianne wrote the words and the Stones finally gave her writing credits in 1998 on the Bridges To Babylon Tour live album. It's a great song!!!
I'm afraid I wasn't too Familiar, with Marianne Faithfully, back in the Sixties, and on. But that said, She has a very Bueatiful Voice? In the above Video n rendetion of The Song, Her voice is just Perfect for that type of Song! Thank You for sharing with US. Wyo, Robert, 🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇸👀👀😎😎🌈🌈🤔🤔🙏🙏🙏🙏
I remember Marianne very well in 1965.I was a Senior in High School.Her songs were played on AM radio very frequently.She was a stunning beauty and all of us could readily see why she was so attractive.No one could not understand her attraction to Mike J.and the Stones.I had , in my HS. English Class, a girl who moved to S.Calif.from London , she was a classmate of Mick Jagger and we were privileged to hear much about the early social activities gossip of the Stones.. boy ..where has all the time gone ? Peace to all of you..
Dana Brinkmeier I remember her as well. Grade school & it was always about the Beatles for me. Somehow I never heard her post 1960’s music. A couple of years ago she showed up on utube. Then I wondered what happened to her voice. I looked it up. It was a shock. Anyway, I found her version of Lennons working class hero. Best version ever. I’ve started buying her albums.
Dana Brinkmeier . Indeed where has the time gone. As a youngster we thought the party would never end. Life is like a pot of water on the cooktop. Initially as a child nothing much happens, as a teenager the boiling starts, midlife still boiling strong and the last little bit boils away in front of your eyes leaving only memories.
Lovely song by Marianne love this version of What Have They Done To The Rain. I also like The Searchers version to. I recall Chad and Jeremy singing this song in concert at The Gene Pitney Show which I saw and heard on 5-17-66 at Salina,Kansas' s Memorial Hall. Their version of the song was really good to. Thanks for sharing the video. Christine Klinger
Early testing of nuclear weapons in the air caused radiation to spread around the world. After protests, air testing was banned in the 1960s. That's what this song was about. She does a beautiful version.
The mistake was to blame governments when it was irresponsible scientists who created the atomic weapons. Just like it's irresponsible mathematician that invented the PCs and super computers.
Love her only 6 months younger then I am one of my favourite singers in the 60ts love ( what have they done to the rain ) and my favourite ( as tears go by ) beautiful voice so easy
This was a song we learnt in Grade 5 music, the ABC music books were fantastic. Marianne has always been one of my favourite singers, and she got better as the years went by.
How could a guy not fall for this angelic gal...her natural beauty...her voice...what a sweetheart....pity what happened to her with jagger and company....
@@tomjohns5146 you're a sexist asshole. last i checked, the stones were also drugged out af and sleeping with anyone they could. they seriously ruined marianne's life. i'm glad she was able to make a comeback, and is still making music.
What a beautiful person. so very beautiful .. sings so nice. as a child I would hear songs on radio in late 60s i was born in 66 She would sing so lovely. Beautiful Marianne. /Anthony up here in Canada thinks you sing like Angel very beautiful lady Marianne
What a great video, and a wonderful performance from Marianne who, I'm sure, was the stuff of dreams for all of us (certainly me) back in the 60s, there really was no-one more gorgeous on the pop scene, I was so in love with her! She had had a very difficult life even before she met up with Jagger and Co, in many ways she never stood a chance, yet she's still with us thankfully, and I was so pleased she came through Covid okay recently. Deserves a really good few years now, she's done brilliantly to bounce back. And what a great posting too!
My dad just told me that he hated her version of "As Tears Go By," that the stones did it better. I told him he was nuts! Marianne's version is way better!!
@@PARADISE7670 I agreed. I heard version of Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones, although also sound good but I still prefer Marianne Faithful's version, her voice works very well for "As Tears Go By". This song just suit her very well, the background music blended with her voice make it shines even better. No offense to Mick! Rolling Stones is one of my favorite childhood band and it still is.
Currently reading her autobiography, fascinating book. It's amazing how you think you know someone because of what you see. I can thoroughly recommend the book....
Richie Cawley - She has written two, I have read them both. They are both very enlightening. Hard to believe she is still alive after all she went through, but a lot of what she did was done deliberately, although popular conception is that Mick Jagger coerced her into it.
Merry Clayton, the lady who sang the chorus "rape, murder" in the song, Gimme Shelter, was very pregnant at the time she performed with the Stones for this song. Soon after she miscarried her baby, which was still born. Creepy, aye?
she was a very gentle person. Treated me well. She has been clean and sober now for many years and is feisty now and had many struggles with her health over the years. Still tours in Europe and doing well. Love her to bits.
Hi Brenda, what an honor it must have been to know her! She was so sweet and beautiful. It is nice to hear that she is OK now. Getting off the drugs and getting sober is a very big deal. She must be a very strong lady.
I DID NOT KNOW THIS SONG. BUT FANTASTIC SONG AND VIDEI. LOVE IT. THERE IS A LOT OF PROPLE SINGING THE RAIN IN THE FIRST YEARS OF THE SIXTEES: EG THE CASCADES ETC.
Fantastic video .I've had this song on vinyl LP. since it first came out in 1966 but never seen this video before. - It reinforces 2 things to me. -- (1) what a great singer she is and (2) how pretty she was.
Such a beautiful profile and smile.All her songs full of warmth,such a talent.Should have stayed clear of Jagger,her life could have had less tragedy. 👍👍
You "done good!" That's the best (original-style) version of this song I've seen on youtube. Marianne appears a bit more grown up - less of the little girl look she capitalized on earlier. Thanks for finding it and re-upping it.
She looks good and sounds great. We all age, you know-- it could even happen to you, if you're lucky or get a brain. (I'm thinking luck is the best bet.)
Jagger was chiefly responsible for destroying her life. Obviously she could have made other choices but he was at the epicenter of her choices about drugs.
Alas, don,t we all age? So she got into drugs, if you say so. Maybe it was the company she was exposed to. She made an unfortunate choice, introduced into a lifestyle she knew nothing about, got involved and was discarded when she became a liability.
I love All of Mariane Faithful songs from the 60's. Such a Beautiful voice. I listen to Her songs over and over. I really do love " As tears go by ". She was a Beautiful Singer then. Bless Her for what She went through ❤ xx xx

Just a little rain falling all around,
The grass lifts its head to the heavenly sound.
Just a little rain, just a little rain,
What have they done to the rain ?
Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain ?
Just a little breeze out of the sky,
The leaves nod their head as the breeze blows by.
Just a little breeze with some smoke in its eye,
What have they done to the rain ?
Just a little boy, standing in the rain,
A gentle rain that falls for years.
And the grass is gone, the boy disappears,
And rain keeps falling like helpless tears
And what have they done to the rain ?
And what have they done to the rain ?

Early testing of nuclear weapons in the air caused radiation to spread around the world. After protests, air testing was banned in the 1960s. That's what this song was about. She does a beautiful version.
That was accomplished by the 1963 Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, signed by JFK shortly before his death. You can find his speech promoting it on You Tube.
Now we need the protests to stop the covid restrictions and shots!!
Really makes you wonder what could happen now
The mistake was to blame governments when it was irresponsible scientists who created the atomic weapons. Just like it's irresponsible mathematician that invented the PCs and super computers.

What a beautiful person. so very beautiful .. sings so nice. as a child I would hear songs on radio in late 60s i was born in 66 She would sing so lovely. Beautiful Marianne. /Anthony up here in Canada thinks you sing like Angel very beautiful lady Marianne
I've loved this woman my whole live, use to have her music on a Reel to Reel, Quad Amp, those were the days.
Such a lovely song sung by Marianne with that sweet voice of hers ❤
great singer, great song, eternal message!!

M,55yo,Germany here! Fan of Marianne for a very long time.
💎First time hearing this song!
I thank you
STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL GOD GIFTED MARIANNE LOVED HER VOICE FANTASIC 💖
What a great video, and a wonderful performance from Marianne who, I'm sure, was the stuff of dreams for all of us (certainly me) back in the 60s, there really was no-one more gorgeous on the pop scene, I was so in love with her! She had had a very difficult life even before she met up with Jagger and Co, in many ways she never stood a chance, yet she's still with us thankfully, and I was so pleased she came through Covid okay recently. Deserves a really good few years now, she's done brilliantly to bounce back. And what a great posting too!
Stunning girl. Stunning song.
A unique voice 😀💙
I also like one of her song, “As Tears Go By”. Brings back of good old memories !
My dad just told me that he hated her version of "As Tears Go By," that the stones did it better. I told him he was nuts! Marianne's version is way better!!
@@PARADISE7670 I agreed. I heard version of Mick Jagger of Rolling Stones, although also sound good but I still prefer Marianne Faithful's version, her voice works very well for "As Tears Go By". This song just suit her very well, the background music blended with her voice make it shines even better. No offense to Mick! Rolling Stones is one of my favorite childhood band and it still is.
@@limtp1 The first song that the Glimmer Twins wrote...and her version takes the gong!
A great song too. My mum loved it. I can't play it anymore. 😢
What a great song Thanks for putting this video up love from the u.k xxxxxxxxx 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Currently reading her autobiography, fascinating book. It's amazing how you think you know someone because of what you see. I can thoroughly recommend the book....
Richie Cawley - She has written two, I have read them both. They are both very enlightening. Hard to believe she is still alive after all she went through, but a lot of what she did was done deliberately, although popular conception is that Mick Jagger coerced her into it.
Marianne just a unique talent. Genius
Soul mate Andy Anderson. My sweet love in eternity. Love is eternal Rip
She is breathtakingly gorgeous.
Too bad she messed up her young life with wild living and drugs.
She is so beautiful. It’s so heartbreaking what happens to people that have been associated with the Stones !!!!!!
Rose Blake .....Oh how you got that right.👍👍👍👍👍
They pretty much killed the spirit of Woodstock.
Merry Clayton, the lady who sang the chorus "rape, murder" in the song, Gimme Shelter, was very pregnant at the time she performed with the Stones for this song. Soon after she miscarried her baby, which was still born. Creepy, aye?
I worked for Marianne for a few years and love this LP.
Brenda O'Connell What is she like? :)
she was a very gentle person. Treated me well. She has been clean and sober now for many years and is feisty now and had many struggles with her health over the years. Still tours in Europe and doing well. Love her to bits.
Brenda O'Connell It makes me so happy to hear that. She seems like a beautiful soul and I admire her greatly. Thank you for this information.
Yes, good to hear that as well and thanks for sharing :-)
Hi Brenda, what an honor it must have been to know her! She was so sweet and beautiful. It is nice to hear that she is OK now. Getting off the drugs and getting sober is a very big deal. She must be a very strong lady.
Beautiful, natural, no fake hair, tattoos or shaved head.
18 years old here
She wears make up, so shut up
You missed out - no ugly pieces of scrap metal in her face!
Agree .
We were all Natural women ..we all grannies now 😊 70s 80s ..
4 years hey lol
one of the biggest icons of the 60s these song never age
Wonderful rendition of this classic. It seems even more currently "right" for the time than ever.
Are still love this woman & am nearley 70 such talented lady ruined by various people a stunner then and still gud true singer
I DID NOT KNOW THIS SONG. BUT FANTASTIC SONG AND VIDEI. LOVE IT. THERE IS A LOT OF PROPLE SINGING THE RAIN IN THE FIRST YEARS OF THE SIXTEES: EG THE CASCADES ETC.
still think she great after all these years thank you for theses clips.
Fantastic video .I've had this song on vinyl LP. since it first came out in 1966 but never seen this video before. - It reinforces 2 things to me. -- (1) what a great singer she is and (2) how pretty she was.
English Classic At It's Best
Beautiful Marianne Faithful
Mohit Muttreja ➕
a lovely song by a lovely singer
Absolutely beautiful! And a beautiful song! The Searchers did a beautiful job with it too. This is grand!
Beautiful angelic voice
Thanks for sharing this so rare video!! She was so sweet!
Amazing Song, Amazing Voice.
Thanks For Uploading.
Such a beautiful profile and smile.All her songs full of warmth,such a talent.Should have stayed clear of Jagger,her life could have had less tragedy. 👍👍
I'm 73 now but had all her early 60's albums, I was crazy about her voice!
You "done good!" That's the best (original-style) version of this song I've seen on youtube. Marianne appears a bit more grown up - less of the little girl look she capitalized on earlier.
Thanks for finding it and re-upping it.
Thank you! You have given me some great memories!
Marianne Faithful.......God,How I Loved her! Marianne where ever you are....I still do!❤February 2020
Michael Gaynor you’ve got a go to the back of the queue 🥰
A pretty woman and wonderful angel song . I was 20 in 1966 . A great time back than
My god she is so gorgeous.
She looks good and sounds great. We all age, you know-- it could even happen to you, if you're lucky or get a brain. (I'm thinking luck is the best bet.)
Jagger was chiefly responsible for destroying her life. Obviously she could have made other choices but he was at the epicenter of her choices about drugs.
Alas, don,t we all age? So she got into drugs, if you say so. Maybe it was the company she was exposed to. She made an unfortunate choice, introduced into a lifestyle she knew nothing about, got involved and was discarded when she became a liability.
You know, I'm sure she's still beautiful. In fact, she may even be more beautiful - spiritually beautiful, specifically - than she even was in '65.
Isnt she just beautiful She is a amazing and that voice Love her both pre and post drug use
Marianne was my pin up girl along with gorgeous Jane Birkin in the 60s and they both still are
Thank you! A mighty voice then & now.
Nothing to ever surpass this grace and magical forest sounds.... OMG
I have had it a good while now too... The story of my life....
