Music Monday: Songs About Rain

by Scott Lydon


Happy Music Monday! Into every life, a little rain must fall. So you're gonna need some music.

Scott Walker - It's Raining Today

 

Scott Walker's voice is almost like a rainstorm all by itself. You can't really curse it or hide from it. All you can do is sit down and enjoy it as it washes over you. And then, when it's done, you kinda miss it.

More rain songs coming up after the jump. Leap over that puddle and come inside.

The Ronettes - Walking In The Rain

 

The trick to enjoying the rain is to share it with someone. Even if that someone is just a memory, it's still special.

Blossom Dearie - I Like London In The Rain

 

In case you haven't figured it out yet, rain and jazz are natural allies in the wild. Blossom Dearie was just made for a soft Spring shower. Trust me. I've tried it more than once.

Roxy Music - Rain Rain Rain

 

But rain doesn't always HAVE to be related to jazz! There can even be rock rain, country rain, new wave rain... the list is endless. This rain is the rain that creeps in while you're in the other room and then suddenly you notice that your car windows are down. Yeah. The jerk rain.

The Hollies - Rain On The Window

 

Rain is to be celebrated, not feared. Keep that in mind in the month to come. Relish those showers, people! Relish them!
