Barely Remembered Early 90s Song Okay, mechadetectives, I present a puzzle that has bothered me for years. [More:] In the early 90s in Baltimore I became obsessed with a song that was occasionally played on WRNR, which was then a great alternative station. The song had the line it "She comes from the rain and the rain makes green" and IIRC was mostly about rain and greenness. One time that it was played I heard the DJ say something about the Weather People or the Weather Men or something like that and once in a record store I found an album by the Weather People but it didn't have anything about rain on it, so I didn't buy it. The song was sort of lovely vaguely folk-y but maybe more like early REM than anything else. Every few years I google for a while and turn up nothing. Therefore I now give this puzzle to you.
"She Comes From The Rain" by the Weather Prophets, probably.

Damn, that was fast. *slinks into corner relinquishing remnants of google fu*
Thanks, chrismear!

Actually, that was really cool. That is indeed the song & the band, and googling led me to this superbly nifty site, and actually I do like Talking Heads & XTC & Tim Finn, so that was accurate although Wings, gah. Someone should fpp music-map if they haven't already. And googling also led me here to TweeNet, which may be the best domain name EVAR.

What the heck have you been googling all this time, mgl?? Because "she comes from the rain" has about 5 gazillion returns....;P

As a side note, their song "I almost prayed" is excellent, far beyond the rest of their recorded output in terms of mixtape readiness.
