[Rain Songs] A Special Collection of Western Music to Listen to on Rainy Days – Rainy Songs (91–100)
November RainGuns N’ Roses
It’s a beautiful yet somewhat melancholic song that likens feelings of love to the November rain.
The lyrics and slow tempo convey the chill and loneliness of the season—the cold rain symbolizing the frustration of being in love yet out of sync, things not going right, and the sadness of having to part despite still caring.
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.
Bring On The RainJo Dee Messina
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
This song is by Australian singer Keith Urban.
It’s included on his 2002 album Golden Road.
The original was by country musician Radney Foster, featured on his 1999 album See What You Want to See, and this version is a cover.
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.
The Rain SongLed Zeppelin
This is the second track on side A of Led Zeppelin’s fifth album, “Houses of the Holy,” released in 1973.
Starting with guitar, it gradually layers in Mellotron, electric bass, piano, and drums.
It builds from a prelude-like opening to a climax and then ends again with guitar, creating a clear sense of rise and resolution, leaving a grand, expansive impression.
Listening to this one song alone gives you a strange feeling as if you’ve witnessed an entire live show from beginning to end—a sense of immense scale that’s hard to put into words.
Robert Plant’s vocals have their characteristic charismatic resonance, and when his powerful, dreamlike singing merges with that vast sense of scale, the result is a magnificent track that can make you feel as though you’ve slipped back in time to that era.
Walking in the RainModern Romance
The second single released in 1983 by Modern Romance.
It’s a very poignant ballad love song.
Walking in the rain.
The vocals are aching and tender.
The way the singer pours out their sadness makes it heart-wrenching to listen to.
Especially in the high notes toward the end, it’s almost a cry—an expression of longing for the person in their heart—evoking the bittersweetness of love and a strangely nostalgic feeling through its melodic line.
Feel Like RainMotion City Soundtrack
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.
