Synopsis

Billie Myers performs the song in a rain-soaked, emotionally charged setting, with much of the video centered on her alone in a bedroom beside a window streaked with water. Her tense expressions and restless body language reflect the song's themes of jealousy, doubt and emotional distance. The intimate images are intercut with close-ups and performance shots, creating a portrait of someone struggling to hold on to a relationship that already feels remote.

Factoids & Trivia

  • Two different videos were produced for the song: one for the United States and another for the European market.
  • Myers later said she was not satisfied with the American version and felt that the European promo represented her more accurately.
  • The video's rain-covered window and isolated bedroom setting closely reinforce the song's subject: an uneasy long-distance relationship marked by suspicion and insecurity.
  • "Kiss the Rain" was Myers' debut single and became her signature hit, reaching No. 4 in the United Kingdom and No. 15 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
  • The title originated with producer and co-writer Desmond Child, who misheard a lyric from Bush's "Glycerine." Child kept the phrase and eventually developed it into the song with Myers and Eric Bazilian.
  • Myers also recorded a Spanish version, "Besa la lluvia (Piensa en mi)," while the original song later received a successful dance remix.

Lyrics

Dreaming
But I'm not sleeping
Or have I died
Died of life

Swimming
As I'm sinking
I'm holding onto
Letting go, Yeah

Oh, how does it feel
Making love to me like you do
