The line "When the rain comes, they run and hide their heads" is played backwards toward the end, the second instance when the Beatles started experimenting with tape loops (the first being "Tomorrow Never Knows," recorded a few days earlier).
The song was released in the UK on June 10 and in America on May 30, 1966.
Ringo Starr has maintained for over 40 years that his drumming on "Rain" is the best work he has ever done. He has made this comment in numerous interviews as well as in The Beatles Anthology.
Lennon, who wrote the song, sings lead vocal, with Harrison and McCartney doing backing vocals. Harrison plays lead guitar, Lennon rhythm, McCartney bass, and Starr drums.
