I was 15 and it used to be played on one of the chart shows on TV here. I loved the song and the video, and it's still one of my favourite all-time songs too 😊
Only 80 000+ views?! This wonderful song deserves much more. I have fallen in love with it. I listen to this song all the time when i'm feeling down, and it always comforts me, in a way.
This was on our playlist in 89 a lot. On the video music channel and in car. My son sent me a whatsapp tonight saying he had just found it and it was my granddaughter's new song. She is turning 3. My son was born in 89. I love music.
32 years on and this song still sounds amazing. I kept missing them when the were playing here in the UK pre-pandemic, but I hope to see them in the future
Hah, I had a real relationship to this song about 12 years back. Listened to it over and over. Really fun to hear it again. It's really a catchy tune. Love that playful guitar riff.
went to his concert when I was 16 in Mt.Vernon wa he was so cool, there was a nasty storm and only 50 people showed he still performed as though we were packed!
gallweynm, He's a beautiful man. I became friends with him in an acting class in Portland Oregon, where I saw in him immense talent for anything he approached. He has a big heart as well.
Thanks for sharing. I miss Dan Reed Network.....Awesome music. This song brought back the memories...wow, ~ 23 years back. Someone please download HD of the official video of this song.
They got slagged really badly by the press which is why they didn't rack up the sales. This song is nice, but it's too poppy to rock out in the same vein as GNR, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue.
brywool They were a multi cultural band before a global acceptance of artists were ever in the spotlight. That is the reason why they did not make it. Basically put, rockers wanted white guys to look up to back then.....
Dan Reed .... all the best, 30 years still the best, I was in 3rd grade junior high, this music video always played on tv at that time, say hello from Jakarta, Indonesia
to my friend, Dan Reed : first this: they, you know whol stole two tof your themes. 1. gun face, i forgt to make her mine. ( I tough her everything.. mick the thief ) 2. the trumpet solo on Dan Reed Network album is used later for, the idea, in out of control. I have got the love from Barry, thank you man, there is love in the heart of the city. why i write : i had serious black time. death and all in my mind. you saved me. what an album is that, Dan Reed Network. your pain is not love, your pain is misunderstanding of your genius. well the stones did not overlook you. it is only now, after 24 years, that I understand something of music. it kept me alive, you did. saved at least one.
I love this song. My ex partner had these lyrics printed & framed for me. Memories of happy times. So sad it didn't work out. But we have a lovely daughter together who is a reminder of how good we were. I think I will always be in love with him. True. xxxx
I have been through so much lately my heart is broken but listening to this is definately some kind of comfort I have liked dan reed for such a long time god bless you for giving me some kind of hope when I need it.
Say Hello to the Rainbow child She don't talk much she just sits there and smiles She's gotta heavy heart that beats to the rythm of a different song Say hello to the Rainbow Child She don't say much it's just her personal style She's gotta magic mind that that reaches to the border of the riverside She don't know what she has in her hands If someone tried to tell her she won't understand She's like the wind & the rain & the flowers & the pain, She is everything. Open your arms to the Rainbow Child, If you needed her love she would travel the miles She's gotta heavy heart that beats to the rythm of a different song.
This song just came to my mind for some reason and I decided to look it up on the Tube. I was saddened to see your comment... I hope things get better for you... I really do.
All these guys were incredible musicians. WHat happened to them? I love Blake Sakamoto's keyboards and Brion James guitars. Of course Dan Reed's songs.
Jovi DID make them, but for a one song band this was a HELL of a song.....scary to think how old the song is...'cause it makes me realise how long I've been a Jovi fan!
they opened for the rolling stones (urban jungle tour). they started off loud and brash and were crap. then they played this song slowed it right down, and they got the crowd on their side. the rest of their slot was great. slow the way to go
Check out his website, I think I saw all the tour dates there. I know he's performing in Leicester on May 12. Just a small club, or a pub, for only £7! That's where Im probably going to be. Dan Reed rocks! peace :)
This was a band that wa way before their time. Thsy incorporated funk and metal. They made 4 albums I think. Their 2nd album "Slam" was their best album. What happened to them. They were produced by veteran producer Nile Rodgers.

I fell in love with this song as a 16 year old and it has remained one of my favourite songs of ALL TIME😍
I was 12 when it came out...I love this band.
16 aswell, oh to go back. Bought the album at the time, great listen 🇮🇪
I was 15. I loved finding obscure bands that none of my friends at school had heard of! This song was EPIC!!!!
I was 15 and it used to be played on one of the chart shows on TV here. I loved the song and the video, and it's still one of my favourite all-time songs too 😊
Heard this today for first time in 30 years! Still love it.
Same !!
It is one of those Gems. :)
Cool
Absolutely class song, this band was so underrated and deserved to get more mainstream success
The most underrated band EVER . . . DRN should have been huge!!
They are huge in the hearts of their fans. And that's what matters.
House of fire Alice Cooper
I bought the album. Huge band material it was not.
Only 80 000+ views?! This wonderful song deserves much more. I have fallen in love with it. I listen to this song all the time when i'm feeling down, and it always comforts me, in a way.
me too !!
This was on our playlist in 89 a lot. On the video music channel and in car. My son sent me a whatsapp tonight saying he had just found it and it was my granddaughter's new song. She is turning 3. My son was born in 89.
I love music.
This song has stayed with me since first hearing it 30 years ago.
Same as buddy. Bought the album when it came out on the back of hearing this tune late one night.
Still have the CD 👍
@@noelmurphy406 Same as :)
Omg I found it- I love this song so much ..I was about 15:when I first heard this.. just never knew who did it.. hearing it again is just wow 😚❤
32 years on and this song still sounds amazing. I kept missing them when the were playing here in the UK pre-pandemic, but I hope to see them in the future
Toppen
I had the pleasure of seeing them live when they supported bon Jovi at the n.e.c.
I saw him in the late 80's. He is an awesome performer, super talented.
One of the best ballads ever...
Saw him in Dublin 1990 supporting Bon Jovi loved this song since
I was listening to this on planet rock

This song still rocks!
gallweynm,
He's a beautiful man. I became friends with him in an acting class in Portland Oregon, where I saw in him immense talent for anything he approached. He has a big heart as well.
i'll never stop loving this song or this guy but i feel old listening to this now its been so long this was out.
great song, very underrate band, Byron James is a pretty awesome guitarist, love his style!!!
You have good taste.
I have always loved this song.....beautifully written....it's all about my daughter, Hannah. She is the my Rainbow Child.
She don’t talk much, she don’t have to 👌
Used to dance to this song back in the day when they played the Portland clubs. HELLO!
LOVE THIS SONG !
I love this song. It came out the year my daughter was born and I randomly decided to look it up.... Thanks for posting :)
Love love Dan Reed Network!!!! From Portland and jammed to this music in high school. Best band outta Portland in my opinion.
@Kristi Froescher, I can dig that, but I also gotta give a shout out to The Kingsmen - Louie Louie, an iconic classic tune in Rock n' Roll history!
She is everything! Love Dan Reed.
Saw him this weekend ... For the first time .... He's freakin' brilliant .....
Thanks for sharing. I miss Dan Reed Network.....Awesome music. This song brought back the memories...wow, ~ 23 years back. Someone please download HD of the official video of this song.
This song gives me chills. So awesome.
'She's like the wind and the rain and the flowers and the pain'
This song always sends tingles down me......I love this song.....so relaxing!
I think of my little sister when I hear this track, she is definitely a Rainbow Child!
WHY was DRN not HUGE. This song is a masterpiece. Always was. Love that band.
They got slagged really badly by the press which is why they didn't rack up the sales. This song is nice, but it's too poppy to rock out in the same vein as GNR, Bon Jovi and Motley Crue.
A good song is a good song is a good song. Pop or not. They shoulda been huge.

They were a multi cultural band before a global acceptance of artists were ever in the spotlight. That is the reason why they did not make it. Basically put, rockers wanted white guys to look up to back then.....
+PhotographerETC Living Colour might disagree with that.
Why have people always got to bring race into everything?
Dan Reed .... all the best, 30 years still the best, I was in 3rd grade junior high, this music video always played on tv at that time, say hello from Jakarta, Indonesia
Me too... heartbroken that is... but the heart does heal. And music is such a cosmic healer!
This is perfection in the form of music.
Caught this on Casey Cassem's countdown show that used to broadcast every week on UK TV
to my friend, Dan Reed : first this: they, you know whol stole two tof your themes. 1. gun face, i forgt to make her mine. ( I tough her everything.. mick the thief ) 2. the trumpet solo on Dan Reed Network album is used later for, the idea, in out of control.

That lead guitar sounds gorgeous.

Say Hello to the Rainbow child
She don't talk much she just sits there and smiles
She's gotta heavy heart that beats to the rythm of a different song
Say hello to the Rainbow Child
She don't say much it's just her personal style
She's gotta magic mind that that reaches to the border of the riverside
She don't know what she has in her hands
If someone tried to tell her she won't understand
She's like the wind & the rain & the flowers & the pain,
She is everything.
Open your arms to the Rainbow Child,
If you needed her love she would travel the miles
She's gotta heavy heart that beats to the rythm of a different song.
I Love this Band .....
this song was mentioned in "noughts and crosses" series.......wonderful song....

Anyone listening in f**cked up 2021?
For Sue. Rest in peace young lady.
Så jävla bra, nostalgi för fan
i wish more people had heard this.

Gr8 song with a gr8 look from the singer.
my father dedicated this song to me when i was very young... and it is only now that i understand what he meant...
This song just came to my mind for some reason and I decided to look it up on the Tube. I was saddened to see your comment... I hope things get better for you... I really do.
Heard this for the first time yesterday on Planet Rock. Awesome song, great musicians
All these guys were incredible musicians. WHat happened to them? I love Blake Sakamoto's keyboards and Brion James guitars. Of course Dan Reed's songs.
Hi This is the video version (3:53). The album version is 4:51. The video version is never released on any format (45rpm, K7, CD single)
How come this wasn’t a number one!?
My fav tune from the band
rrr no i missed it !!! Dam !!!! i would ov went with my Dad he loves them too he used to sing this song to me !!!
When I was a kid rainbows were associated with yarns featuring unicorns.
a classic
Seen them in concert in 1989 in Frankfurt Germany they opened for Alica Cooper and Bon Jovi.
Völlig geil..!!!
Jovi DID make them, but for a one song band this was a HELL of a song.....scary to think how old the song is...'cause it makes me realise how long I've been a Jovi fan!
Perfect!
Dan Reed is on tour in UK in May!!!
I read this osng in Noughts&Crosses ...never knew what it sounds like :)
Divine
i never heard this b4 really like it .....
Singgah dari VIDEOLEGEND cuk!
Gw juga wkwkwk Intro Kangen nih
It was in the beginning of December 1988.
they opened for the rolling stones (urban jungle tour). they started off loud and brash and were crap. then they played this song slowed it right down, and they got the crowd on their side. the rest of their slot was great. slow the way to go
Hey, i am gonna see him tonight! :)
they where opening act to bon jovi 1989 in gothenburg.
Check out his website, I think I saw all the tour dates there. I know he's performing in Leicester on May 12. Just a small club, or a pub, for only £7! That's where Im probably going to be. Dan Reed rocks! peace :)
Woman.....u got 2 love them !!
This was a band that wa way before their time. Thsy incorporated funk and metal. They made 4 albums I think. Their 2nd album "Slam" was their best album. What happened to them. They were produced by veteran producer Nile Rodgers.
Remember in 84 when these guys were laughed at as a joke.
Still are.
Mommy boy noise.
@Weaponx58 Totally agree, I bought the 12 inch when it first came out.
ini cikal bakal petikan nya Kangen.....ckckckckck
@strumfellow It seems to be the song "Chill out" off their 1991 album.
Dan being anything than bald scares me
I read this from noughts and crosses :D xx
the best....
Good song, and I can tell they can really play. Kind of a wierd music video. I bet this band would have been bigger if they picked a better name.
cool...
I hope your heart heals soon mine will some day happy christmas
