[Rain Songs] A selection of Western music to listen to on rainy days — Rainy Songs (11–20)
Who Let In The RainCyndi Lauper
Singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper is known for her eccentric visuals, cute singing voice, and energetic personality.
This song, however, shows a different side of her.
“Who Let In the Rain,” released in 1993 and included on the album Hat Full Of Stars, portrays a protagonist agonizing over a troubled relationship.
The title can be translated as “Who let in the rain?”, but here it conveys the singer’s anguish—“Whose fault is it that things have come to this?” Set to a gentle melody, the song lays bare a delicate inner world, making it a perfect listen for a rainy day when one is prone to feeling sentimental.
Beauty And A Beat ft. Nicki MinajJustin Bieber
Pop star Justin Bieber, who has captivated the world with his sweet looks and vocals.
“Beauty and a Beat,” from his 2012 album Believe, is an upbeat party track that will blow away those rainy-day blues.
It features leading female rapper Nicki Minaj, making it a dream collaboration between two heavyweights.
When you’re feeling low, put on this song and power through your day!
Too Much RainPaul McCartney
This song is one of the tracks on Paul’s 2005 release, “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.” Literally translated, the title means “Too Much Rain.” Here, “too much rain” refers to overwhelming difficulties and pain that one can’t carry.
It’s wrong that in life, hardship, suffering, and pain should pour down like excessive rain on certain people.
Smile.
If you want happiness, you need to smile, and you have to learn how to smile—this is what the song says.
We understand that, but it’s really not easy, is it? Especially when you’re grieving, it’s even harder.
Come in With the RainTaylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s classic “Come in With the Rain,” released in 2008, marks a turning point in her career and showcases her country roots.
The lyrics portray the anguished cry of a woman who, for certain reasons, has broken up with her boyfriend.
Particularly striking is the line, “Just know I’m right here hoping, that you’ll come in with the rain.” The psychological depiction of her impossible wish—that he’ll come to her through the rain—is the song’s most heartrending element.
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.
Come CleanHilary Duff
Hilary Duff is an American pop singer who rose to fame on the Disney Channel series Lizzie & Lizzie and went on to launch her singing career.
Come Clean is a mid-tempo track from her 2003 album Metamorphosis, which was also a hit in Japan.
The melancholic mood evoked by the recurring guitar riff—like rain falling—is especially striking.
While it portrays a relationship drifting out of sync, it also feels infused with a cry from the heart and inner emotions.
As the phrase “let the rain wash everything away” suggests, the song offers comfort to those looking to make up or make a fresh start.

Why Does It Always Rain On Me?Travis
Included on the 1999 album “The Man Who.” A band from Scotland formed in the ’90s.
With a light, step-like mid-tempo rhythm and a soft, gently resonant melody, it’s a song that calms the mind when you listen to it.
