It is again the monsoon season and what better way to spend a lazy rainy afternoon but through music! I listed down my own top 10 rain songs of the current and not so current decade so here it goes:
10. Rainy Days and Mondays - Carpenters
One association with rain is the feeling of sadness, and this song never fails to make me sad.
9. Maselang Bahaghari - Eraserheads
Okay. This one isn't about rain, but rainbow. But you wouldn't have one if not for the other right?
You want rain song? here's the ultimate local rain song with lyrics of rain all over!
7. Lightning Crashes - Live
Yes I know this didn't talk anywhere near about rain but of childbirth, but the lyrics are highly mystical and deep. Can't resist to include this on the list.
6. Penny Lane - The Beatles
This is about a street in London. And a slight reference about rain. Ok. I'll start to focus now.
The master of hearbreak Adelle at her best. Makes me depressed and happy at the same time. Strange.
4. Bus Stop - The Hollies
On the other side, there are happy songs about rain and this is one of it. Love grows on wet rainy days under an umbrella. On a bus stop.
3. It Will Rain - Bruno Mars
I'm not sure if this is a happy or sad song. I just know it's full of promises and hope.
2. 3 AM - Matchbox 20
Profound. I only recently found that the song was about cancer. And it made several references to rain too. A personal song favorite from the band.
1. Please Don't Stop the Rain - James Morrison
Many songs make lyrics with rain as a kind of nuance. But James Morrison accepts it and actually begs for more. Compete submission to rain deserves my top spot.
