Kopmajer grew up in a family of musicians and began singing in her father's band when she was 12. At the same time she studied piano, though singing remained her first love. Early on, she entered and won various talent contests and even made appearances on television in her native country, Austria. As a young performer, she twice toured the Netherlands with the “Euro Big Band” and later appeared in several international jazz festivals.
Influenced by some of the great American vocalists like Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Jon Hendricks, Kopmajer has developed into a true jazz singer who uses a wide variety of rhythms and excels in her very individual style of scatting.
Kopmajer received her Masters Degree from the University for Music and Dramatic Arts in Graz, Austria where she had the opportunity to work with such jazz luminaries as Mark Murphy, Sheila Jordan, Michele Hendricks, Jay Clayton, and the New York Voices.

Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Simone Kopmajer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There′s a calm before the storm
I know
It's been comin′ for some time
When it's over, so they say
It will rain a sunny day
I know
Shinin' down like water
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin′ down on a sunny day?
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know
Been that way for all my time
′Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know
It can't stop, I wonder
Ooh, I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin′ down on a sunny day, yeah
Oh, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh yeah
Mmmhmm
Oh, oh yeah
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin′ down on a sunny day?
The song talks about the impending storm that is yet to arrive. The lyrics highlight the growing tension before the storm and the calmness that precedes it. The calmness can be interpreted as a reflection of life's unpredictability and the certainty of change that is to come. The line "It's been coming for some time" suggests that the storm is inevitable, and the artist has probably been preparing for it mentally, emotionally, or spiritually. The lyrics "When it's over, so they say, it will rain a sunny day" is a poetic interpretation of the phrase "after the storm comes a calm," and it alludes to the notion that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. The song speaks about the cyclical nature of life, where things come and go, and sometimes they come again, the eternal recurrence of life.
The chorus of the song is a series of questions that emphasize the idea of experiencing beauty in its varying forms. The questions, "Have you ever seen the rain, comin' down on a sunny day?" could be interpreted in different ways, but it likely refers to the beauty that arises from life's contradictions. The artist might be questioning whether the listeners have had a similar experience where they have witnessed what is considered unusual, unusual beauty, and is asking them to reflect on it.

Songtext
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm – I know
It's been comin' for sometime
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain on a sunny day – I know
Shining down like water
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down a sunny day?
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard – I know
Been that way for all my time
'Til forever on it goes
Through the circle fast and slow – I know
It can't stop, I wonder
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain

Have You Ever Seen the Rain
Lyrics Übersetzung
Hast du jemals den Regen gesehen
Jemand erzählte mir vor langer Zeit
Es gibt eine Ruhe vor dem Sturm,
ich weiß!
Es wird irgendwann kommen.
Wenn es vorbei ist, so sagen sie,
wird es regnen an einem sonnigen Tag
Ich weiß!
Es glänzt herab, wie Wasser.
Ich möchte wissen,
ob du jemals den Regen gesehen hast
Ich möchte wissen,
ob du jemals den Regen gesehen hast
wie er herabfällt, an einem sonnigen Tag.
Gestern und die Tage davor,
ist die Sonne kalt und der Regen ist heiß
Ich weiß!
Das ist der Weg, für all meine Zeit.
Bis in alle Ewigkeit geht es so weiter
durch den Kreis schnell und langsam
Ich weiß!
Kann es nicht aufhören, frag ich mich
Ich möchte wissen,
ob du jemals den Regen gesehen hast
Ich möchte wissen,
ob du jemals den Regen gesehen hast
Runterkommend an einem sonnigen Tag
