Dentre as muitas versões e derivações da “Canon”, uma das mais divulgadas e de maior sucesso surgiu em 1968. “Rain and Tears”, dos “Aphrodite's Child”, com destaque para o vocal de Demis Roussos.
Sua letra:

"Rain and tears...
are the same
but in the sun
you've got to play the game
When you cry
in winter time
you can pretend
it's nothing but the rain
How many times I've seen
tears coming from your blue eyes
Rain and tears, are the same
but in the sun
you've got to play the game
Give me an answer of love
(o----ooohhh)
I need an answer of love
(o----ooohhh)
Rain and tears, in the sun
But in your heart
you feel the rainbow waves
Rain and tears
both I shun
for in my heart there 'll never be a sun
Rain and tears, are the same
but in the sun
you've got to play the game
Game..."

Essa provocação acabou refletida em um dos mais expressivos monólogos do Cinema... o do andróide Roy, no filme "Blade Runner":
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe...
Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate...
All those moments will be lost in time...
Like tears in rain...
Time to die.........."
