Mandolin RainBruce Hornsby & The Range
Included on the 1986 album “The Way It Is.” A five-piece rock band formed in 1984.
The piano that runs throughout the track enhances the beauty of the song’s tone.
The vocalist’s soulful delivery over the mellow, melancholic melody really hits you in the heart.
These Days feat. Jess Glynne, Macklemore & Dan CaplenRudimental
This is a song released in 2018 by the British drum and bass band Rudimental in collaboration with Jess Glynne, Macklemore, and Dan Caplen.
The lyrics poignantly express a couple who are currently distant but truly want to return to how they once were, and listening to it on a rainy day makes it even easier to sink into the song’s mood.
Songs About RainGary Allan
It’s a laid-back country music number.
It’s a song by Gary Allan, a musician from California, released in 2003.
The blend of strummed acoustic guitar and the warm tone of the piano is irresistible.
The lyrics are bittersweet: listening to a rain-themed song on the radio brings back memories of an old lover.
His sweet, gentle voice makes it a real tearjerker.
When your heart is swirling with those indescribable emotions, this might be the song that heals you.
Laughter In The RainNeil Sedaka
It’s Neil Sedaka’s “Laughter in the Rain,” released in 1974.
Such a gentle singing voice, isn’t it? When I first heard it, for a moment I even wondered if it might be a woman—the voice is that delicate and tender.
With that gentle delivery, he pours into the song the cozy happiness of a loving couple.
Reading the lyrics will give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.
In those early days of a romance, you’re full of happiness no matter if it’s raining.
Even on rainy days, you can be close.
That’s why the happy protagonist in the lyrics makes me a little envious and takes me back to my middle school romances before I know it.
Rainy Night in SohoThe Pogues
“A Rainy Night in Soho” is a song by the British rock band The Pogues, released in 1986.
Just before its release, there was apparently a bit of a clash between vocalist Shane MacGowan and producer Elvis Costello over whether to use the oboe or the cornet version.
The final released recording used the cornet.
Its grand, Celtic-influenced orchestral sound evokes images of the British countryside.

It’s Raining MenThe Weather Girls
It’s funky dance music that’s humorous yet so captivating with its authentic vocals.
It’s a song by the American female duo The Weather Girls, released in 1982.
As you might guess from the title, it sings, “Your destined man will pour down like rain.” In other words, it’s a love anthem cheering you on, saying you’ll surely meet your Mr.
Right soon.
Maybe because of its upbeat vibe, listening to it really lifts your spirits.
It feels like the thick rain clouds are about to blow away.
It’s Raining MenThe Weather Girls
It’s the song “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls.
It was released in 1982, the golden age of Western pop.
I don’t really know what it’s singing about, but the two singers’ vocal power is incredible, and it’s an insanely cool, unbeatable track.
The song also has a Japanese title, “Hallelujah Hurricane,” which sounds like it was slapped on just for the hype, but that actually makes it sound even cooler.
The music video is pretty chaotic and fun too, so definitely check it out!
