After signing a contract with Warner Bros, Laurie released a blues album Let Them Talk , which was released initially in France on April 18, 2011 and later in the UK on May 9th.
He has written one novel, "The Gun Seller," and another one, "The Paper Soldier," is tentatively scheduled for September 2009. Mr. Laurie has some musical talent, notably the piano and mouth trumpet (he can make convincing trumpet sounds using just his mouth). He played '20s numbers on the piano in the TV series "Jeeves and Wooster" (again with Stephen Fry) in addition to some original comic songs in "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie." He is currently a member of "Band from TV" with several other TV personalities. He is married with children, although he has become somewhat of an absentee father due to his work on American television while his family stays in London.

Hugh Laurie Lyrics

Rain on my Lord
Didn't it (yes)
Didn't it (you know it did)
Didn't it
Oh oh my lord didn't it rain
It rained forty nights
There was no land nowhere in sight
God sent the raven, to bring the news
He arched his wings and away he flew
I send the rain (I send)
You know it rained (it rains)
Oh how it rained (and in the west)
Rain too long (and in the north)
My, how it rained (and in the south)
Rained all day (all day)
Rained all night (all night)
Rain, rain (all day)
My, it rained (all night)
Ooh, rain
Rain, rain, rain, rain (rain)
Rain rain rain rain rain rain rain
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN CHILDREN
RAIN ON MY LORD
Didn't it (yes)
Didn't it (you know it did)
Didn't it
Oh oh my Lord didn't it rain
Well, didn't it, rain, rain children
Rain on my Lord
Didn't it (yes)
Didn't it (you know it did)
Didn't it
Oh oh my lord didn't it rain
(take it)
Well, it rained forty days, forty nights without stoppin'
Noah was glad, when the water stopped droppin'
When I get to heaven, sit right down
Askin' Jesus for my starry crown
I know it rained (I'mma sing it)
I'm tired of this rain (on the east)
Been raining too long (in the west)
It rained all day (to the north)
All night long (in the south)
Rain, rain go away (all day)
Come again some other day (all day)
You know it rained (all night)
Oh, how it rained (all day)
God knows it rained (everywhere)
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain (rain, rain, rain, rain, rain)
Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, oh
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN CHILDREN
RAIN ON MY LORD
Didn't it (yes)
Didn't it (you know it did)
Didn't it
Oh oh my lord didn't it rain
The song "Didn't It Rain" by Hugh Laurie is a gospel-inspired track that speaks about the biblical story of Noah's Ark and the Great Flood. Laurie explores the idea of a heavy and constant rain that lasted for 40 days and 40 nights, leading to a severe flood that covered the earth. The verses mention God sending a raven to bring the news of land, which was an indication for Noah to send a dove to see if the floodwater had receded.
The chorus repeats the phrase "didn't it rain" multiple times while pointing out the significance of the rain falling on the Lord. The song expresses gratitude towards God for stopping the rain and saving humanity from the great flood. The guitar riffs and Laurie's gritty vocal delivery add to the authenticity of the track as it successfully captures a soulful gospel sound.
