Sam Smith – Pray ft. Logic (Official Music Video)

This is a classic released in 2018 by Sam Smith in collaboration with American rapper Logic.

The harmony created by the gospel elements and Sam’s beautiful high notes is wonderful, and Logic’s rap is full of soul.

Like rain soaking the earth, listening to this song feels cleansing to the heart.

Have You Ever Seen The Rain?Creedence Clearwater Revival

Have You Ever Seen The Rain

This is “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?”—a signature song by Creedence Clearwater Revival, commonly known as CCR.

According to an urban legend, the band’s name “Clearwater” pays homage to bluesman Muddy Waters—contrasting his “muddy” water with “clear” water.

The Japanese title is “Ame o Mitakai” (“Have You Seen the Rain?”).

In fact, some interpret “rain” as referring to napalm used in war, reading the song as anti-war.

When The Rain Comes DownAndy Taylor

Andy Taylor – When The Rain Comes Down

A single released in 1986.

Born in 1961.

A guitarist from the UK and a former member of Duran Duran.

His shout-style vocals are awesome, riding a melody that mixes powerfully pounding, simple drum beats with hard-edged guitar sounds.

RainJose Feliciano

Rain . Jose Feliciano (original vrs 1969 – high quality)

This is a song released in 1969.

It sings about a love so intense it feels like it might burst, with each feeling of affection growing larger, like individual droplets swelling until they become a downpour of love.

The lyrics convey this deep affection with heartfelt detail.

I even found it educational, in a sense, to see that such expressions exist.

Outside the RainStevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks – Outside The Rain – Live 1983 US Festival

Stevie Nicks, an American singer-songwriter.

She’s a vocalist whose weapon is her voice with an enigmatic allure.

Once you start listening, there’s a strange feeling that you’ll keep the song on to the end, regardless of whether you like it or not.

This song, too, gives an exclusive, coolly distant impression through its lyrics, yet they don’t feel heavy—instead, they convey a kind of serene, “well, so be it” acceptance.

RainMadonna

Madonna – Rain (Official Video) [HD]

This is the fifth single from Erotica, Madonna’s fifth album released in 1992—the living legend of American female singers and the original diva.

In the music video, Madonna’s calm look with black hair is striking, which is unusual for her.

While many of her hits feature dance-oriented sounds, Rain offers a more subdued feel, with her singing as if quietly speaking of love.

It’s a single that reveals a new side of Madonna.

Paris in the RainLauv

Lauv – Paris in the Rain [Official Video]

This is a 2017 release by American singer-songwriter Lauv.

The calm tone and Lauv’s soothing vocals are lovely, and the simple, romantic lyrics are great, so I recommend it.

Just imagining rainy Paris has its own charm, doesn’t it? For a rainy day date, listening to this song while you and your partner enjoy the rain itself would create a wonderfully atmospheric mood.
