Topic: Has anyone else noticed...

that there are a bazillion songs about rain??

I'll start off the list with...

Who'll stop the rain- CCR

Blue Eyes Cryin' In the Rain - Willie Nelson

Rainy Day Woman- Waylon Jennings

Songs About Rain- Gary Allen

When It Rains it Pours- Faron Young

November Rain- Guns N Roses

Kentucky Rain- Elvis Presley

Rainin' On sunday- dont remember who....

Like the Rain- Clint Black



  ... and so on and so forth. I wonder what the deal is?

All You Need is Love smile

Re: Has anyone else noticed...

Fool in the rain - Led Zep
Rain o'er me - The who

I think it is because the rain is associated with feeling blue. I bet almost of these songs are sad.

Re: Has anyone else noticed...

Rain - the beatles

I am playing all the right notes - but not necessarily in the right order! [Eric Morecombe]

Re: Has anyone else noticed...

Goodnight to you last_rebel, and good morning here. A few months ago, I had 10 different facts, both serious and funny. I didn't write facts since a while, because I lost my source.
This is splendid, and I like this topic. What if you change the name in "SONGS ABOUT RAIN"?
resulting in the fact that we can create other topics like  Eyes songs, Heart songs, I love you songs. It's up to you, I just don't know what you think about is idea?
- Alabama Rain by Jim Croce
- Ashes, the Rain, and I by Joe Walsh or The James Gang
- Raindrops keep falling on my head.
- It's raining man (hallelujahahahahaha)
- About to Rain by Neil Young
- Baby Can You Stop the Rain by Luther Vandros
- Blinded by rainbows by the Rolling Stones (this song is from the album Voodoo lounge, and this song is just great. I think this is one of their best albums, my opinion has always been, that the so called Biggest Rock and Roll Band, are BETTER in ballads than rock, see Angie, Lady Jane, Ruby Tuesday, IT is maybe a to strong subjective opinion, I'll make it good by writing that songs like Satisfaction, Paint it black, Start me up are great. They still write great songs, but if you need to buy it as a collector or as a big fan, the whole album for 1 song. If not most people should download only 1 song.
- Change in the Weather by John Fogerty.
- 4 seasons in one day
- Weather with you both songs by Crowded House
- Begging for Rain by George Usher
- PURPLE RAIN by Price
- Crying in the Rain by a-Ha or Art Garfunkel
- A hard rain's gonna fall by Bwab Dylan
- Falling of the Rain by Billy Joel
- Have you ever seen the rain by CCR

Re: Has anyone else noticed...

Rebel, thanks for your answer, and these topics are fantastic. You have to look, in Chordie's chat corner, I used the following question, better the name: FACTS, I have a real great little book, got it for free in HELSINKI, it was included together with a guitar magazine. But, Jesus, I realised there that this was probably the last trip I did on my own because of destroyed body due to a car crash.
If I find facts or even better strange and funny facts, I post them, and a "triple" check, also here on the internet. It is far more easy to find some items if you know where to look.
You got the credits, and I found my little book. There are really amazing facts, and it is funny too.

Re: Has anyone else noticed...

Nervous in the Alley by Less Than Jake starts with:

On a Tuesday in the rain
I never thought there'd come a day
I never thought, there'd, come, a, day, yeah

Brilliant song, if you haven't already got it, buy the album "Hello Rockview", it's one of the world's best albums, especially if you like ska.
