    My favourite Madness tune! Like someone else has said here in the comments, I also suffer depression and anxiety which really can be debilitating to me 90% of my time (I almost ended things last year), but listening to Madness always cheers me up and brightens my day. This one alone is enough to leave a big smile on my face without me even realising until after the video! So, if the guys ever see this… lads, thank you for everything. You guys do more than you know. ❤️🥲

      I can sympathise with you, Tina.
      I too have a high level of depression (take 150 mg pills every night),
      in addition to this I was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in 2017
      One of the nicest traits about Suggs and the rest of the Madness guys is that they obviously don't take themselves too seriously and don't mind doing silly little things on the videos which can help.
      I also find that the sound of running water, like on a dark wet night when you have a bedroom window ajar can prove very soothing.
      I am sorry to hear that you suffer like this but I am also glad that you have found some ways of helping you cope.
      I wish you all the very best for the future.

Next day I would go to school smug as F"?? with my new Madness song, I would play it to my friends over and over again. To this day, Madness is still my home!! Thank you.

    This wonderful song , so joyous, so well written and performed, is my favourite Madness song. It feels like someone coming out of depression, towards joy.

    I feel that this is a totally lost tune from 1983. First heard this tune close to Christmas 1983. Deserves to be a much larger song than it was.

    One of my favourites too. Madness to me were always a breath of fresh air amid all the poncy New Romantic and Electronic keyboard toe gazers playing pretentious crappy 80’s music at the time.Their songs were always down to Earth mostly cheerful pop songs for the common man.

    On this day in 1984 {March 31st} Madness performed "The Sun and the Rain" on the ABC-TV Saturday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'...
    Four months earlier on November 13th, 1983 it peaked at #5 for week on the United Kingdom's Singles chart...
    And on the same 'Bandstand" show they also performed "Keep Moving", it was track one of side one on the British band's album of the same name, "Keep Moving" peaked at #6 on the United Kingdom's Albums chart on February 26th, 1984...
    Two tracks from the album made the UK Singles chart, "Michael Caine" at #11 and "One Better Day" at #17...

      when I was 13 in 1980 I went to the barbers to get my graded Suggs cut I so much wanted it but did not realise it was down to how my hairline lay and mine was not a V , not only that but mine was wonky sliding downwards right to left BASTARD. I am now 50 and my hairline is still wonky but getting gradually higher.

      I've had the flat top look for a while and pulled it off it's just a case of knowing how to get it and the right barber but if you want prince era Suggs a number 3 haircut should do it 🙂
