"But this past week during fan week], seeing the support of fans and their reactions and the way it affected those around you really demonstrated that the decision was worthwhile and it was the right move, regardless of it being hard to come up with." "'Have you ever Seen the Rain' is one of the songs that was among the songs that we've been wanting to play on the show for a really long time," Sasha told Parade.com. We played the song before The Voice even existed. It was an amazing surprise. It was a song we thought of and we came up with thoughts of how to set it up. "I was pleasantly surprised at how well the fans nailed the tune."
