Ain’t No Other ManChristina Aguilera
Released on June 6, 2006, right in the middle of the rainy season, Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man” appears on her fifth album, Back to Basics.
It’s a track where you can fully enjoy her signature belting style.
The heavy breakbeat and flashy brass, reminiscent of ’90s hip-hop, further highlight her glamorous presence.
Aguilera won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for this song.
It’s a defining track of her career!
A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna FallBob Dylan
Bob Dylan has had such an impact on modern music that it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call him the progenitor of singer-songwriters.
When he was active, the world was in chaos, and by singing about politics and war, he brought people together.
“A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” is a song that recounts the horrors of war from the perspective of a father who has gone to the front, as told to his son.
It’s arranged with only acoustic guitar and vocals, delivered in a restrained manner, yet its lyrics, laden with symbolism of the events, give listeners space to reflect.
Some say the “hard rain” in the song refers to “whizzing bullets” or “spurts of blood.” It’s a song that prompts deep thought about peace.
Who Let In The RainCyndi Lauper
Singer-songwriter Cyndi Lauper is known for her striking visuals, cute singing voice, and energetic persona.
This song, however, lets us see 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 troubled by a relationship that isn’t going well.
The title can be rendered as “Who let the rain in?”, but here it conveys the narrator’s anguish—“Whose fault is it that things have ended up like this?” Set to a gentle melody, the song lays bare a delicate inner world—perfect for a rainy day, when it’s easy to slip into a sentimental mood.
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.
my futureBillie Eilish
A song I’d love you to listen to while watching a gentle rain fall is “my future.” It was released in 2020 by American singer-songwriter Billie Eilish, whose uniquely crafted pop has drawn worldwide attention.
The music video—featuring her waiting for dawn with an ennui-laden expression as the rain pours down—leaves a strong impression.
In the final scene, sunlight breaks through and she faces forward, mirroring lyrics about saying goodbye to a lover and stepping into a new chapter.
The dreamy tones woven into the R&B-tinged track will put your mind at ease.
On rainy days that can make you feel blue, try this ambient-leaning ballad.
