1) Magnum is an English hard rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter, RIP) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". On a Storyteller's Night gave the band its breakthrough in Europe, and achieved a Gold certification in the United Kingdom. The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a further move towards the mainstream before the band achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; however, Clarkin and Catley continued working together, now under the name Hard Rain, until 1999. Magnum reformed in 2001 and has enjoyed late-career commercial success. Their most recent album, The Monster Roars, was released in January 2022.

After the Rain
Magnum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before you decide?
There's no need to run
Let love be your guide
So stay
Don't tell me you might
I need to believe
'Cause I'm here and I'll just be
Waiting, hoping, praying
After the rain there's a river of fire
You're lost on the road to nowhere
'Cause after the rain comes the thrill of desire
You turn around, no one's there
Oh, deep
Inside everyone
There's something we need
The right to belong
But I'm here and I'll just be
Waiting, hoping, praying
After the rain there's a river of fire
You're lost on the road to nowhere
'Cause after the rain comes the thrill of desire
You turn around, no one's there
You tell me your troubles and I'll tell you more
Bad times, you're the pretender
I'll tell you something that I can't ignore
Sad times, what's to remember?
After the rain
After the rain there's a river of fire
You're lost on the road to nowhere
After the rain
'Cause after the rain comes the thrill of desire
You turn around, no one's there
After the rain
After the rain there's a river of fire
You're lost on the road to nowhere
After the rain
'Cause after the rain comes the thrill of desire
You turn around, no one's there
After the rain
Said after the rain
The song “After the Rain” by Magnum is a ballad with a hopeful message that encourages the listener to wait and not give up on something, particularly love, so easily. The lyrics urge the person to stay and be patient, to let love guide them and not to rush into a decision before giving it a chance. The song explores the idea of searching for happiness and fulfillment in life, and encourages the listener to believe that even after a difficult situation, there is a flicker of hope and possibility of finding something great, like the “thrill of desire” that follows a storm.
The line “after the rain there’s a river of fire” could be interpreted in different ways. It could represent the heat and passion that ignites after a difficult situation like a storm, or it could also represent the danger and chaos that can arise after a crisis. The song emphasizes the importance of connection and belonging, and how people need to support each other during difficult times. The lyrics are powerful in a way that they urge the listener to have faith and confidence in themselves and their choices, and to remember that there will always be someone out there to help them find their way.

I never heard of this band until I watched a rock festival on Palladia last night. I heard a great song called "All England's Eyes". I made a point to seek out some more of their songs and now I find this great song too! This band should be WAY bigger IMHO. Excellent songs and vocals. I'm a fan!
John Kenneway
I wish I was you, then I would have all those years of Magnum's back catalogue to discover.
Colin Phillips
This track makes me weep for joy every time I hear it. One of the very greatest tracks, from one of the very greatest albums, by the greatest unknown band on the planet. How the hell can it be that no professional marketing company has ever been capable of showing the world how great Magnum really are ? What do they have to do to get recognised if songs as perfect and timeless as this are not enough ?
Thank God for Magnum.
Howard Moss
Great song...from a very underrated band. Least the people like us who know of these tunes are the privilege ones!
Baz Buncher
In my eyes the BEST feel good song Tony ever wrote perks me every time I hear it
John Kenneway
One of the great mysteries of life, Why aren't Magnum huge, Loved their music since the early 80's, A Story Tellers Night is about the best AOR albums ever released but it only sold moderately, there is no justice.

I've only been listening to Magnum since "Princess Alice and the Broken Arrow" and have really enjoyed everything they've released to date. It's quite possible though that "On the 13th Day" is their best release yet. I have nothing but respect for Catley and company. Awesome job guys!
Donna Davis
Loving this song... Having just been introduced to Magnum over the last couple of days... I am loving everything I have heard.
