Dogstar (band)
Dogstar was an alternative rock group active from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. The band performed at the 1996 Zwemdokrock Festival (Lummen, Belgium) and at the 1999 Glastonbury Festival (United Kingdom), and it released an EP and two albums. The band garnered media attention due to the non-musical activities of bassist Keanu Reeves, who starred in major Hollywood action films such as Point Break and The Matrix.
History
The genesis of Dogstar was a chance encounter between Reeves and Mailhouse in a supermarket in 1991. Rob Mailhouse was wearing a Detroit Red Wings hockey sweater, and Reeves (an avid hockey fan and a keen player of the sport) asked if Mailhouse needed a goalie. Like Reeves, Mailhouse is also an actor. Mailhouse is a television actor, and has appeared in the NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives, as well as Seinfeld. As the two men formed a friendship, they began jamming together. Gregg Miller Joined the band in 1992 as the original Lead guitarist and singer. He toured extensively with the band in 1995 throughout the U.S. and Asia. Gregg left the band at the end of the '95 tour one year after Bret Domrose joined as a vocalist/guitarist in 1994. Eventually they decided to play for a live audience, a decision Reeves would later describe as "a huge mistake". The band originally called themselves Small Fecal Matter, and then BFS (Big Fucking Shit, or Big Fucking Sound), before settling on Dogstar, after Mailhouse found the name in the book Sexus, written by Henry Miller.

After thousands of years of wars, pollution, undrinkable water and silly cartoon shows, humans are forced to leave Earth and move everything and everyone to a new planet: New Earth. But not everything goes to plan when the Dogstar, a giant space ark containing all of the world's dogs, becomes lost in space. On New Earth, the evil Bob Santino makes his fortune selling canine replacement units, Robogs, and plots to ensure the Dogstar is never found. But the Clark kids desperately miss their real dog, Hobart, and begin a quest through space to find the Dogstar - with Bob in hot pursuit.

Rain
by: DogstarBa da ba ba dab ba da da daah
(Uuuuhhhh...)
[...]
Sunshine, blue sky
Please go away
My girl has found another
And gone away
Driven in my future
My life is filled with blue
So day after day
I stay locked up in my room
I know to you
It might sound strange:
I wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause so banny
I wanna go outside
(such a lovely day)
Everyone knows
That a man ain't supposed to cry
But listen
I got to cry
Because cryin
Ain't no blame
Oh you know I feel this
Hurt I feel inside
Words - they could never explain
I wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Oh, let it rain,
Rain, rain, rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
(...)
Day and day
Oh on Tuesday - faith
Pressed against my window - pain
I have searched the sky
Oh just believe for rain
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops
And no one will ever know
That I'm crying
Crying
When I go outside
To the world outside my tears
I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
Let it rain
I need the rain to disguise the tears in my eyes
Yeah, you know
I'm a man - I ain't got no cry
Till it rains I'm gonna stay inside
Let it, let it rain
Let it rain
Yeah, yeah yeah..
(Oh how I wish that it would rain)
