Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!

A rainy Monday at the start of the workweek or a long-awaited day off—rain that falls at times like these can really put you in a blue mood, can’t it?

Of course, some people love spending a lazy day at home, quietly watching the rain when they have no plans to go out.

From timeless hits that sing directly about rain to recent chart-toppers, and even songs whose lyrics or atmosphere make them ideal for rainy days—this comprehensive roundup spans genres and styles.
