August 8 - You Look Like Rain

Morphine. Another band I discovered while working in Studentradioen i Bergen. Their name fits some of their songs better than others, and You Look Like Rain is definitely one of those songs. The front man was singer/bass/guitar player Mark Sandman (he usually played a two string slide bass, which really influenced their sound), who unfortunately died from a heart attack while on stage in Italy in 1999, only ten years and four albums (five if you include posthumous release The Night) into their career, However, their signature sound was really based in the saxophone sound of Dana Colley, while Jerome Dupree and Billy Conway were the two drummers who alternated on keeping time. The song You Look Like Rain  is from their debut album Good from 1993.
