Spring Rain (The Go-Betweens song)

"Spring Rain" is a song by the Australian alternative rock band The Go-Betweens that was released as the lead single from their fourth album Liberty Belle and the Black Diamond Express in 1986.

Describing the song in AllMusic, it was said, "There's a gentle lope and swing as much breezy '60s pop as there is roots revival intensity" While the reviewer noted the oddly hollow drum sound, they concluded, "Forster's ear for a lyrical image (check the part talking about hanging one's elbow out of the window of a car) and the soaring chorus make this number a winner in the end.

"[6] PopMatters described the song as, "a mid-tempo countrified tune featuring the strong give and take chorus from vocalists Robert Forster and Grant McLennan.

Reeking of all the melody and infectious Brit, er, Aussie pop it’s capable of, it glides along without any need for tweaking.

"[8] Rock Australia Magazine noted Forster's "fractured vocals lending an air of casualness to the jaunty rhythm and straight verse line".
