Rainy Day Music

In honor of the excessive number of rain storms of late, I wanted to post a list of rain songs. (Treb, didn't you make one of these a few years ago? You could probably add.) I made a quick one with the search function on my iPod at work, so I've sifted it out a little. It's mostly supposed to be songs ABOUT rain rather than just songs that have rain in the title. (In other words, as much as I love the song "Damn, Sam, I Love a Woman Who Rains," it will not be on this playlist. There may be a few exceptions anyway though.)  

•  "Sit and Listen to the Rain" - Whiskytown
  
• "Ballet for a Rainy Day" - XTC
• "Why Does It Always Rain On Me?" - Travis
• "Flowers Never Bend With the Rainfall" - Simon and Garfunkle (slight cheat, but still works and so good) 
• "Rain Falls Down" - Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band
• "Rain" - Rusted Root
• "Let It Rain" - OK Go
• "Caught In the Rain" - Martin Sexton
• "Still Rainin'" - Jonny Lang
• "Blinding Sheets of Rain" - Old 97s
• "Dry the Rain" - The Beta Band (I just want it there, okay?)
• "Buckets of Rain" - Bob Dylan (because "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" isn't really about rain, it's about change. And this one isn't really either, but it feels like rainy day music, and that's the important part. I think I might let "Shelter from the Storm slip in as well.) 
• "I Can't Stand the Rain" - The Commitments
• "Raining in Baltimore" - The Counting Crows (one of my all-time favorite songs) 
• "Chance of Rain" - John Gorka
• "It's Raining Again" - Supertramp (yes, I really have this) 
• "Heavy Cloud (No Rain)" - Sting
• "A Thing Called Rain" - Jackie Greene (again, this one may not be completely about rain, but it feels like a rainy day, so it stays.) 
• "Storm" - Jose Gonzalez
• "Kathy's Song" - Simon and Garfunkle (because this is one of the first songs I always think of when it rains. "I hear the drizzle of the rain, like a memory it falls, soft and warm, continuing, tapping on my roof and walls.")
• "Riders on the Storm" - The Doors (Um, yes. And it always scares me.) 
• "Rainy Day" - Guster (this song is SO depressing, but I guess it needs to be here anyway.) 
• "Weatherbeaten" - Republic Tigers
• "Thunder" - Young Dubliners (this is another sort of, but it's just kind of awesome.) 
• "Nice Weather for Ducks" - Lemon Jelly (because it's SO bizarre, but really fantastic. How can you say no to a song that begins with "All the ducks are swimming in the water, fal-der-al-der-alda?" Yeah. 

So there you go. Mostly I feel like making this will put an end to the rain so that no one can use it, but even so, everyone should have a good rain playlist, right?
