"The night I wrote it, I just slipped a copy of it under his door, and he's never even mentioned it to me, never. To this day, Simon has no idea of what John thinks of the lyrics. As John said about his habits "Sometimes you really need to take yourself to the edge in order to realise that this isn't the right place." However, it would be another twelve years before John faced up to his addictions and get clean and sober. Instead of confronting John with his concerns, Simon wrote the lyrics to "Hold Back The Rain". It seemed like.'Drugs? That's what The Beatles did, that's what The Rolling Stones do, that's what The Clash do, why wouldn't you wanna take 'em?'.". John's recollection was that no-one had warned him "about the pitfalls. Simon felt that John was "going off of the rails a little bit at that time.John was staying out too late, taking too many drugs, drinking too much, and going home with the wrong kind of people." The story behind the lyrics was told by both John Taylor and Simon Le Bon in an episode of VH-1's Behind The Music. The song was written while Duran Duran were on tour, the music was written by the band, and lyrics by Simon Le Bon. It was also released as the B-side to the " Save A Prayer" single in a multitude of remixes. "Hold Back the Rain" is a prominent, non-single track from Rio. In the Rio album's liner notes, the date given for the song's completion is 19 March 1982.
