“April’s Gonna Rain” was written about a co-worker Robbie had a crush on from years back who was engaged to be married. Maybe she had cold feet or lots of emotional issues, either way she entrusted Robbie with all her drama. The song evolved into April (the women) who’s emotional issues will make the clouds rain. April the name means to “open up” – a time of young beauty (opening of young flower buds and renewal). The old saying “April showers bring May flowers”. The song sure talks about showers, flooding the town, and even thunderstorms at the end. It was written and performed by Robbie Rapids and David Levene. Robbie’s favorite thing about the song is the guitar solo. It was done by David playing a guitar through an autowah pedal, or so he claims. Robbie thinks he was speaking a native language where “Jib Jib Jow” means April’s gonna rain, lol.
