Classic rock and roll is played with one or two electric guitars (one lead, one rhythm), a string bass or (after the mid-1950s) an electric bass guitar, and a drum kit. In the earliest rock and roll styles of the late 1940s and early 1950s, either the piano or saxophone was often the lead instrument, but these were generally replaced or supplemented by guitar in the middle to late 1950s. The beat is essentially a boogie woogie blues rhythm with an accentuated backbeat, the latter almost always provided by a snare drum.
The massive popularity and eventual worldwide view of rock and roll gave it an unique social impact. Far beyond simply a musical style, rock and roll, as seen in movies and in the new medium of television, influenced lifestyles, fashion, attitudes, and language. It went on to spawn various sub-genres, often without the characteristic backbeat, that are more properly called simply 'rock music'.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, maybe in magazines
But you'll still be my star
Baby, 'cause in the dark
You can't see shiny cars
And that's when you need me there
With you I'll always share
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Hey, hey, hey, hey
These fancy things will never come in between
You're part of my entity
Here for infinity
When the war has took it's part
When the world has dealt it's cards
If the hand is hard
Together we'll mend your heart
Because
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
You can run into my arms
It's okay, don't be alarmed, come into me
There's no distance in between our love
So gonna let the rain pour
I'll be all you need and more
You can stand, you can stand
You can stand, you can stand, you can, you can, stand stand
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my own umbrella
You can stand under my own umbrella
You can stand under my own umbrella
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
That I'll always be your friend
Took an oath I'm a stick it out 'till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand, you can stand, you can stand
You can stand, you can stand, you can stand

Umbrella
The Baseballs' version of Umbrella starts off with reassuring words of love and commitment. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their loved one are bonded together and nothing can come between them. Even material things of the world and fame don't matter because they will always stand strong for each other. This is further enhanced when the singer says, "When the war has taken its part, When the world has dealt its cards, If the hand is hard, Together we'll mend your heart." The couple seems to be facing tough times, but the singer promises to be there for his partner no matter what. This powerful bond is mentioned throughout the song, as the singer assures their partner: "Told you I'll be here forever, That I'll always be your friend, Took an oath I'm a stick it out 'till the end."
The chorus "You can stand under my umbrella" is a metaphor for the singer offering protection and comfort to the person they love. The song's catchy chorus invites listeners to find shelter under one's own proverbial umbrella. The rain mentioned in the lyrics is a metaphor for life's challenges and difficulties. The song is a declaration of love and support, no matter what life throws at the couple.

"Nothing better than starting 2024 with a song like this, it's wonderful."
@yuridanylko
Who are you quoting?
@andreacorrado
First time I heard this song I was thunderstruck and talked to myself: “woow, that’s a bomb”.
Sincerely I have been thinking all the time, it was the original song of the 50s-60s, and that Rihanna covered it. Also, after watching the videoclip, I still was thinking that! When I finally discovered, this was a remake of Rihanna’s song, I could not believe my ears!
@CarlosJimenez-kk6bv
Me too! Just recently found out after like 10 years.
@CarlosPerez-xf7yz
I was thinking the same thing, i thought "woow, i didn't know this was the original version and Rihanna covered it"
@henry3484
Why am I just now finding out about this band?!?
@henry3484
