[Rain Songs] A Special Collection of Western Music to Listen to on Rainy Days: Rainy Songs (41–50)
Same Old LoveSelena Gomez
It’s a song released by Selena Gomez in 2015.
Selena’s smooth vocals and the finger snaps give it a retro feel.
In the music video, her complex expression as she sits in a car with raindrops on the window is beautiful.
It’s perfect for listening on a quietly rainy night.
RainThe Cult
Included on the 1985 album “Love.” A five-piece rock band from the UK formed in 1983.
This song comes from their post-punk period, and its simple, noisy rock sound is the very essence of a group hailed as leaders of positive punk.
The lyrics are quite sparse, but it’s impressive how Ian’s sheer ability alone carries the song—just as you’d expect.
It’s RainingDarts
It’s a song with strikingly sentimental, self-deprecating lyrics.
Musically it’s in a major key, but what it sings about is things like “I’m drowning in misfortune,” “It’s raining, and I’m sinking, I’m dying, I’m crying.” It must be that sadness keeps raining down in the heart.
True to the title “It’s raining,” I feel the song depicts the very moment when one is in a painful, heartrending situation, with tears falling like rain.
Listening again while savoring the lyrics, I realized that although the tune is in a major key, it still carries a sense of emptiness.
Only Happy When It RainsGarbage
A cool rock number where sweet vocals blend with a rough, hard-hitting band sound.
It’s a track by the rock band Garbage, released in 1995.
The lyrics convey reflections on the alternative rock scene that was globally popular at the time, leaving a distinctly dark impression.
You can read a philosophical message about how the very things we pursue are the ones that slip away.
That heavy, powerful idea feels like large raindrops falling from a gloomy sky.
RainMissy Elliot
The Rain is a track from Missy Elliott’s debut album, Supa Dupa Fly, released in 1997, and it became a huge hit.
That sultry voice at the beginning of the song can make your heart skip a beat.
It also samples the song I Can’t Stand the Rain by American singer Ann Peebles.
It’s a track that could make the gloom of the rainy season feel cool.
After ther RainNelson
Rain is often used as a negative metaphor, but in this song, it says that the never-ending rain washes away all sorrow.
When the rain stops, the pain will disappear as well.
The sight of the blond twin duo Nelson singing breezily with their golden hair flowing perfectly embodies the refreshing feeling after the rain.
The harmonies in the chorus are especially exhilarating.
She’s My Kind of RainTim Mcgraw
This is a song by singer Tim McGraw, known for hits like “It’s Your Love” and “Just to See You Smile.” It’s included on his 2002 album Tim McGraw and the Dancehall Doctors.
He sings about his loved one, comparing her to rain and the shadow of a setting sun.
In other words, she is his entire world—his truth.
It’s a very romantic message.
Be sure to listen to it as a couple.
