Which group sings "I like watchin' the puddles gather rain"?

The group that sings "I like watchin’ the puddles gather rain" is Blind Melon. The line comes from "No Rain," the band’s best-known song and one of the defining alternative-rock singles of the early 1990s.

Blind Melon released "No Rain" on its self-titled debut album in 1992. Written by bassist Brad Smith and vocalist Shannon Hoon, the song combines a bright, relaxed acoustic-guitar feel with lyrics about boredom, isolation, and wanting emotional connection. Its sunny melody can make the song sound carefree, even though the narrator describes feeling aimless and dissatisfied.

The single became a major radio hit in 1993 and helped propel the album to multi-platinum status in the United States. Its memorable music video, centered on a young girl in a bee costume searching for acceptance, became nearly as recognizable as the song itself.

A common mix-up is remembering the lyric as the song title. The quoted line appears in the chorus of "No Rain," not in a song called "Puddles" or "Gather Rain." The performer is Blind Melon, an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1990.
