Poetic Songs About Rain

Never Forget When The Earth Holds It's Breath With No Rain Arriving

Rain, love it or hate it's arrival, sometimes gentle soothing, refreshing always up to interpretation. Sudden downpour catching you unaware, or prolonged rains that start flooding, never frown we need the water.

Starting older songs working our way through time with songs about rain, some fun reasons attached to enjoyment in savouring tunes over the years.

"Singin' in the Rain" 1952 - Gene Kelly : Movie we were taken to big screen when young, a treat with my Aunt. Watch to the end puddle hopping, a great trend when we were young..., or not so young, now we tend to end up in the middle, Rain brings much joy when not flooding our lands, smell it arrive watch it fall enjoy vibrant relief all enjoy!

Song written in 1929
Music by Nacio Herb Brown
Lyrics by Arthur Freed
Originally from The Hollywood Revue of 1929
Sung by Gene Kelly as Don Lockwood

Rain 1970 -The Beatles : Many might not know this number, not surprising as it was hidden on the B side of single released "Paperback Writer" never making it to an LP recording that I know of. Teenagers when broke (no cash) bought the latest released seven-single which is what my oldest brother often did when still doing his year of conscription, when back at the Navy we tucked into his collection to enjoy the latest!

A song many may have missed, I think it's awesome.

November Rain - Guns N' Roses - Written lead vocalist Axl Rose, released 1991. Having sons both born early 1980s this was a group introduced to me by them. We never too old to listen to new releases, brilliant opening piano rendition, epic hard-rock power ballad I still enjoy today.

Hello dear friend @joanstewart happy music Tuesday
It is true, rain is a true blessing for the earth, the plants, and all the animals and human beings that live in the world.
What a beautiful experience walking in the rain and jumping through puddles of water.
You have chosen three beautiful classics for the Tuesday music festival, each of them brings back fond memories. Thank you very much for bringing us this beautiful musical selection.

Sudden downpour catching you unaware

Catching you unawares indeed, just like what is about to happen here. It's about to rain cat and rat here.

Greetings Lady😃

Pelting down here too at the moment, been quiet all day, as quickly it will be gone!

Smell of Jasmin in the rain is delightful flowing through the window.

Well, I listened to the third one. GUNS' AND ROSES I enjoyed it.
Although when I looked at the title I got to know it is going to be something romantic. Haha

Our selection over time normally alters slightly, I enjoy listening to new music my sons brings into the home, quite often from artists I have never heard then won't remember.

I haven't heard that song by The Beatles before. How nice that you have included it.
The forever classic is "Singin' in the Rain". And I too enjoy to listen to "November Rain".

Seven singles releasing new songs often found great songs on both sides on the disks, they were useful when you were not sure or out of pocket.

Oh my gosh. I love Gene Kelly dancing in the rain to that song. It brings back tons of childhood memories.

My spinster aunt took us every so often as a treat, movies like Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, 101 Dalmations, Mary Popins definitely under ten years old. My uncle took us to see Lawrence of Arabia, The War of the Worlds, he lived in the same block as the bioscope and allowed me to go with my brothers being older. Singin' In The Rain, accompanied with mom was one of the very few we afforded at the time.

Rain, love it or hate it's arrival,

I love it's arrival; it's been raining here for over four hours. I love how everywhere is cool, quiet and calm; the only sound I hear is the sound of a raindrop on my rooftop.

I love the sound of running water and rain is no exception. Mind you I don't like it when I am walking in it!

Gene Kelly teamed up with Guns N' Roses who'd thought it!

Never knew that, the musicians often teamed up or supported each other. 🙃
