[Rain Songs] A Selection of Western Music to Hear on a Rainy Day – Rainy Songs [2026] (71–80)
Please Don’t Stop The RainJames Morrison
This song by James Morrison uses rainy weather as a metaphor for the ups and downs of love.
Songs that picture love through rain are often pessimistic and emphasize sadness.
In that context, while this track follows the common pattern of equating romantic highs and lows with the weather, it feels relatively matter-of-fact because it frames the rain with a forward-looking, predictive mindset—thinking ahead.
Love involves many events and isn’t always happy and sweet.
Just as rain inevitably falls, sad things happen when you’re in love.
In a sense, it’s a sage-like, enlightened metaphor, which makes the song feel refreshingly straightforward to listen to.

This is a song by American country musician Jo Dee Messina.
It’s included on her 2001 album Burn.
The song says that although today has brought some bad events, tomorrow will be different, and she’s moving forward with hope.
Some of you probably don’t like gloomy, rainy skies.
If you listen to this, it might make you think of sunny days and fill you with excitement.
By the way, the chorus vocals are performed by singer Tim McGraw.
Raining On SundayKeith Urban

It’s a rock ballad with a powerful yet warm vocal that’s truly captivating.
The lyrics offer a profound message about love that draws you in.
I recommend listening to it with someone special.

DreamsFleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac is an indispensable rock band when discussing the UK soft rock scene, drawing attention with their gentle, uniquely crafted band sound.
Dreams, included on their 1977 album Rumours, is a medium-tempo track perfect for a mellow listen on a rainy day.
Stevie Nicks’s clear, translucent vocals ring out alongside the band’s tender performance, leaving a strong impression.
The song portrays feelings toward a struggling lover, with poetic lyrics that liken the band’s relationships to “rain” and “thunder.” Even if the eye wanders to someone else, the sentiment that “in the end, you’ll understand” resonates throughout.
It’s a song that pairs beautifully with a blue, rainy-day mood—give it a listen.
Rain On MeLady Gaga, Ariana Grande
The song that turns your room into a dance floor on a rainy day is “Rain On Me.” Created in 2020 by Lady Gaga, a U.S.-born singer-songwriter who also shines as an actress and entrepreneur, and Ariana Grande, a U.S.-born singer who has garnered numerous prestigious awards worldwide, it’s a deep track that makes your body move before you know it.
Pay attention to their passionate choral work that blows away the gloomy mood of a rainy day.
It’s a message song that conveys a strong will that won’t be defeated by the pouring rain.
Through The RainMariah Carey
Mariah Carey, a songstress recognized worldwide.
Released in 2006, “Through the Rain” is a song that encourages listeners with the message: no matter how difficult the situation, if you don’t give up, you can overcome it.
It’s said that the catalyst for writing this song was the passing of Mariah’s father.
Born to a Black father and a white mother, Mariah’s parents reportedly eloped to get married.
They chose to be together despite opposition from those around them, and Mariah wrote this song with respect and gratitude to the parents who brought her into the world.
In the song, hardship is expressed with the word “rain.” The powerful message—“I can make it through the rain”—really strikes a chord.
RainThe Beatles
This song, which was the B-side to the 1966 single “Paperback Writer,” isn’t particularly well known, but it gained popularity among fans as an experimental recording.
The backing track was recorded at a faster-than-usual tape speed, while the vocals were recorded at a slower speed, and some sections were even reversed, making it a highly unconventional track.
Perhaps thanks to these effects, it turned into a strange song that evokes the muddled state of mind brought on by a low-pressure system of rain.
