Why have I heard Rain and Tears before, thought it was maybe a bit more upbeat and faster the one I've heard, do a band redo it?
I had to google.... found this info on the song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_and_Tears
So you were right, they covered it. :)
After listening to both, I think it was the Hi-Revving Tongues version I knew. I remembered the next two as well, but not the last two. Well, I remember the song Daytrip to Bangor, but not Cathy and the Cucumbers!
If you'd heard of them, you'd never forget them aye? :D
