"Rain Is Falling" is a song written and performed by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). It was track seven on the album Time (1981) and was released as the third single from the album in the US in 1982. As with many ELO songs written by Jeff Lynne, "Rain is Falling" uses rain as a metaphor for loss and sadness. ELO writer Barry Delve calls it "classic ELO – a beautifully sung evocative ballad with a gorgeous melody, and sound effects that perfectly conjure up the emptiness of a rainy day." Delve does highlight one major flaw in the song, that the third verse starts well with the lines "Looking through this window/A thousand rivers running past my door" but then the lyrics devolve into the album's time travel concept that have little to do with the rest of the song.

La canción ha sido comparada con la suite Concerto for a Rainy Day, incluida en el álbum Out of the Blue, debido al uso de la lluvia como temática principal, un tema recurrente en las composiciones de Jeff Lynne. El sencillo, que alcanzó solo el puesto 101 en la lista estadounidense Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles, fue publicado con la canción «Another Heart Breaks» como cara B. La canción, también incluida en Time, fue el primer tema instrumental de la ELO desde la publicación de «The Whale» en Out of the Blue (1977). (es)

It was the band's first single in the United States that failed to chart in the Billboard Hot 100 since "Boy Blue" (1975). It came incredibly close, peaking at 101 in the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart. Delve attributed the commercial failure of the single to the fact that the third verse makes little sense outside the context of the album. (en)
