"BONNIE is a uruguayan band, born in march 2007, when a group of old friends got together just to make good music. We started playing classic rock covers in private parties and different clubs, while working on some creations of our own. Seeing that people are taking interest in our music, we started to work hard to make more and better songs."

Rainy day
Bonnie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All you wanted from the start was to cry
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
You've made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
Call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
He don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days rolling
Then you'll see him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts they just don't belong
You can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along
Just look up your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
Ask again
Go on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
All I need to do is look up my rainy day man
Now what good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
In Bonnie Raitt's "Rainy Day Man," the lyrics express a feeling of sadness and despair. The song seems to address someone who is going through a difficult time and cannot seem to find happiness or solace from their friends or themselves. The first line, "What good is that happy lie," suggests that pretending to be happy when you are not is not helpful. Sometimes all we want to do is cry, even if we have to face the harsh reality of our situation. We cannot pretend that everything is alright.
The following lines emphasize the point that friends can only do so much: "Your good friends they don't seem to help at all." The song emphasizes that there are some things that only we can do for ourselves. The titular "rainy day man" represents a symbol of hope and support in times of need. The chorus implores the listener to "Just look up your rainy day man" for comfort. The alliteration of "rainy day man" emphasizes the importance of seeking refuge during difficult or rainy times.
The second verse, "Now rainy day man don't like sunshine, He don't chase rainbows, He don't need good times" portrays the rainy day man as someone who is only there for the listener during their difficult times. The rainy day man represents someone or something that we rely on to pick us up when we are down. But it's not easy to depend on others or to ask for help. The final lines repeat the first lines of the song, "All I need to do is look up my rainy day man, What good is that happy lie, All you wanted from the start was to cry." The song ends without any resolution or happy ending, emphasizing that sometimes life doesn't have a happy ending, but we can always rely on our metaphorical "rainy day man" for comfort.
