This is Maroon 5’s “She Will Be Loved,” a song that sings of unwavering love, saying, “I’d wait for you even in a downpour.” The protagonist has long harbored unrequited feelings for a woman.

She’s troubled and suffering, and he wants desperately to help her, but there’s always the presence of her boyfriend, keeping him at a distance.

“If it were me, I could love you like this,” he declares in this passionate track.

You can picture a devoted man standing in the rain, thinking only of her.

This was One Direction’s final single before their hiatus.

The music video is a must-see, packed with nostalgic footage that traces their journey.

The lyrics evoke a sense of brotherly friendship—pure youth—so if you’re planning a performance for a friend’s wedding in June, this is the perfect song to choose.

Motion City Soundtrack – Feel Like Rain

This song has the feel of bright, upbeat rock, like the Manic Street Preachers.

They sing “like rain” many times throughout the track.

It seems to belong to the category of fairly positive songs, but the lyrics are quite complex.

It’s the kind of lyric that could tip into darkness with a single misstep; at first listen it sounds bright, but the words being sung aren’t actually cheerful.

It’s a song released by Avril Lavigne in 2002, and many people probably liked it back then.

Avril, who was a rock girl at the time, has a youthful and energetic voice that feels refreshing to listen to.

Even during the damp rainy season, listen to this song and get your energy back.

It’s Raining MenThe Weather Girls

It’s the song “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls.

It was released in 1982, the golden age of Western pop.

I don’t really know what it’s singing about, but the two singers’ vocal power is incredible, and it’s an insanely cool, unbeatable track.

The song also has a Japanese title, “Hallelujah Hurricane,” which sounds like it was slapped on just for the hype, but that actually makes it sound even cooler.

The music video is pretty chaotic and fun too, so definitely check it out!
