Beverley "Bev" Bevan (born 25 November 1944) is an English rock musician, who was the drummer and one of the original members of The Move and Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). After the end of ELO in 1986, he founded ELO Part II.
After education at Moseley Grammar School where he gained two O level passes, he worked as a trainee buyer in a city centre department store called The Beehive with school friend Jasper Carrott (Bob Davis). His professional music career started with a stint with Denny Laine in his group Denny Laine and the Diplomats, then with Carl Wayne & the Vikings, followed by The Move in 1966. The Electric Light Orchestra released their first album in 1971, by which time The Move existed only as a recording outfit. They released their final single, "California Man" in 1972.
"Flowers in the Rain" is a song by English rock band The Move. The song was released as a single and reached number two in 1967 on the UK Singles Chart, and number four in Ireland.
It achieved its own place in pop history by being the first record to be played on Radio 1 when the station was launched in 1967 (though technically Johnny Dankworth's "Beefeaters" was the first track to be heard, since Tony Blackburn chose it as the theme tune for his Daily Disc Delivery, and so it was heard before "Flowers in the Rain"). "Flowers in the Rain" was also the last single by The Move to have Carl Wayne on lead vocals before Roy Wood took over as the band's lead vocalist for "Fire Brigade".
In a promotional stunt, for the record—typical of the band's manager Tony Secunda—a postcard was released with a cartoon of a naked Harold Wilson, linking him to his secretary Marcia Williams. Wilson sued, and the High Court ordered that all royalties from the song were donated to a charity of Wilson's choice. This legal arrangement remains in force to this day and is thought to have cost the group millions of pounds in royalties over the years. During the single's chart success, most of the money went to the Spastics Society and Stoke Mandeville Hospital. In the 1990s, The Observer newspaper reported the royalties had exceeded £200,000 and found that The Harold Wilson Charitable Trust had extended the range of beneficiaries to include, among others, the Oxford Operatic Society, Bolton Lads Club and the Jewish National Fund for Israel.
Flowers in the Rain is the second album by Christian rock band Mad at the World. Released in 1988, it was their first album to chart and their second-highest charting album.
History
Released in 1988, Flowers in the Rain, their second disc, was still "techno-rock" but "the guitars are much more aggressive and the songs provide more variation". It was their first to chart and the second-highest charting album they produced. The songs dealt with issues like self-image ("Fearfully and Wonderfully"), putting trust in God instead of other people or Satan ("Holding the Puppet Strings"), and people's use of excuses to hold on to bad habits ("This Lie").
One of the things that stood out for many people about the first two albums was Roger's fauxBritish accent.
This album was reissued in 1999 by KMG Records on a "two-for-one" disc with Boomerang.

Today as I'm sifting through these photographs of you Never thought I'd feel this way All these memories keep calling me to you How I wish they'd go away All these visions just remind me of better days And I miss you most of all When I see Flowers in the Rain I see you laughing as we run across the fields Through the thunder and the rain Finding shelter in each other's arms that day All the things I didn't say All these words keep going round and round in my brain And I miss you most of all When I see Flowers in the Rain Wish I could do something about it Life can be cruel, no doubt about it In life's many mysteries It just wasn't meant to be, oh no I miss you most of all When I see Flowers in the Rain As I'm sifting through these photographs of you Life will never be the same All these memories keep calling me to you And it seems so long ago And in my heart I'll always know That I'll miss you most of all When I see Flowers in the Rain Wish I could do something about it Life can be cruel, no doubt about it In life's many mysteries It just wasn't meant to be, oh no I miss you most of all
