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!

Raining In My HeartBuddy Holly

Buddy Holly, known as a pioneer of rock ’n’ roll.

His black-rimmed glasses and suit look so stylish, don’t they? A lot of people have probably heard his name because it’s also the title of a song by Weezer.

This is a song called “Raining In My Heart.” Buddy Holly’s dapper vocals paired with the sound of strings make it feel so romantic.

Sad feelings have long been associated with rain, haven’t they? In this song, too, it’s expressed as, “The sun is out, the sky is blue, there’s not a cloud in sight, but it’s raining in my heart.” It was recorded in the ’50s, but isn’t it amazing how relatable it still is today?

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.

This song is one of the tracks on Paul’s 2005 release, “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.” Literally, the title means “Too Much Rain.” “Too much rain” refers to an overwhelming amount of difficulties or pain that one can’t carry.

The song says it’s wrong that, in life, hardship, suffering, and pain should pour down on certain people like excessive rain.

So let’s smile.

If you want happiness, you need to smile, and you have to learn how to smile—that’s what the song tells us.

We know that, but it’s not easy, is it? It’s especially hard when you’re grieving.
