Neil Sedaka – Laughter in the Rain

About The Song

Neil Sedaka’s “Laughter in the Rain” is a popular pop song released in 1974. The song is incorporated into Neil Sedaka’s 1974 Polydor album and later that year, it was included in “Sedaka’s Back”. It was written by Neil Sedaka and Phil Cody and produced by Sedaka, with Jim Horn adding a 20-second saxophone solo to the song. The composition was released under Elton John’s Rocket label in the US and Polydor label elsewhere. The song topped the Billboard Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts in the United States in 1975, making it Sedaka’s first number-one single on both charts since 1962. It was also a major success in Canada, reaching the number-two spot on the pop singles chart.

“Laughter in the Rain” is a tranquil piece about enjoying the simple things in life, such as laughter and love, even in the rain. The lyrics describe the feeling of being content while being soaked in the rainwith someone special, hearing laughter, and feeling the warmth of their hand in yours. The lyrics describe the singer and his partner going for a walk without an umbrella and getting wet in the rain. They take shelter under a tree and share a kiss, finding solace in each other’s company. The rain acts as a metaphor for the challenges and hardships of life, but the singer finds that love can bring warmth and joy even in the midst of these difficulties. The upbeat tone and use of the saxophone solo in the song emphasize the idea that love and joy can overlook even the rainiest of situations.

Lyrics

Strolling along country roads with my baby
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we’re soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

Ooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooh, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
