Songs About The Rain

November 30th, 2007

By the way, this is the last day of blogging if you’ve been a participant in NaBloPoMo! We made it, finally! So, give yourself a pat on the back today!

. . . .

Well, well… it’s actually raining “proper” this morning in San Diego!

By proper I mean that it’s really like, raining Dude!

Nice and steady and consistent, and not like it had been trying to rain in months past. I guess we’ve been having a bit of a dry spell here in San Diego. Yes, especially during the wild fires.

So, I welcome the rain for a change. Yet, I’m going to be traveling with Big Daddy Orchestra to Arizona tomorrow and I really don’t want to go on a road trip in the rain. So I hope it finishes raining later on today. I also don’t like going to gigs in the rain… I hope it stops before the gig tonight at the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club.

Anyway, I’m thinking of songs that talk about the rain, or have the word “rain” in its title:

Rhythm of the Rain - The Cascades

The Rain Song - Led Zeppelin

Come Rain or Come Shine - Harold Arlen and Johnny Mercer

A Little Fall of Rain - from the Musical Les Miserables

Over The Rainbow - as forever sung by Judy Garland in The Wizard of Oz

Have You Ever Seen The Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival

Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head - by Hal David and Burt Bacharach and sung by B.J. Thomas

Rainy Days and Mondays
- The Carpenters

Okay, that’s all I can think of right now…. any others?

      hmm… will i take a break now that NaBloPoMo is over? it’s hard to say right now because now it seems i’m on a bit of a roll? we’ll see. i’m at the point where i’m really preparing blogs days before publishing them. i already have a good one for tomorrow that is just in draft mode.

      anyway, thanks for adding more songs about the rain. :o)

      it’s still raining here… a light drizzle.
