On We Are Not Alone, the second Breaking Benjamin album, from 2004, "Rain" is stripped right down: in its original form the only instrument is an acoustic guitar under Benjamin Burnley's voice. When it went out as the third single in June 2005, the band cut it again as a full-band version, and that take only turned up on later pressings of the album.
The writing credit holds a surprise: Burnley, Aaron Fink, Jeremy Hummel and Mark James Klepaski share it with Billy Corgan. David Bendeth produced, arranged and mixed it, Hollywood Records put it out, and the band played it on Sessions@AOL alongside "So Cold" and "Sooner or Later". "The Diary of Jane" came next.
