Pink Performs Touching Duet With Her Dad on “I Have Seen The Rain”

Pink shared a heartwarming duet with her dad, Jim Moore, onstage at her New York City show, where the pair sang “I Have Seen the Rain.” Jim played acoustic guitar and sang backup while Pink delivered a beautiful lead vocal on the folk ballad, with the crowd clapping along in the intimate venue.

As they sang, dad and daughter looked into each other’s eyes, clearly cherishing the moment together. Known for her upbeat pop hits, Pink showcased a different side of her voice, proving she can excel in any genre with style. You can enjoy the duet for yourself below.

Pink began by crediting her interest in music to her dad, adding, “My dad was my first rock star. He wrote a song about 40 years ago in Vietnam.” She highlighted the night’s significance as her dad’s first performance on such a big stage and introduced him as her “favourite person in the whole world” before they began the song.

Jim, a veteran, wrote “I Have Seen the Rain” while serving in the Vietnam War. Pink included the song as a hidden track on her fourth studio album, I’m Not Dead Yet, where it was also performed as an acoustic duet. The live version was filmed at Pink’s flash mob show in New York City, which also featured her hits like “Get the Party Started,” available below.

In her introduction to the studio version of “I Have Seen the Rain,” Pink shared more about the song, saying it was the first song she ever learned to sing. She recalled, “I grew up singing it with him at different Vietnam vet functions and that’s how I learned how to harmonise and how to love an acoustic guitar.”

She dedicated the song to Vietnam veterans, noting, “it was really special to be able to record a song with my Dad.” She described recording the song “live in the vocal booth together, him playing and singing, and me harmonising – one take, straight through. That was really, really a good time.”

Reading the lyrics of “I Have Seen the Rain,” it’s evident that Jim is a talented songwriter, just like his daughter. The song reflects on the anxieties of a soldier in the field and the struggles veterans face upon returning home, trying to fit in after their harrowing experiences in the war.
