It was raining this afternoon in Nashville. I popped out a question on Twitter, Facebook and around work because it seemed like the thing to do. I received some amazing responses, so I thought I’d post them here. Props are given and links to Twitter profiles (since they’re public).
Here’s the question I asked:
It’s raining in Nashville. What’s your favorite rain song? Mine is Raindrops are falling on my Head – B.J. Thomas.
Here are your kickin’ responses:
@stevegrossman – Purple Rain (Prince)
@thefourmckays – mine is “Singin’ In The Rain!”
@RAM1950 – Mine is Penny Lane. (…the fireman rushes in from the pouring rain, very strange.)
Derek Evenson – Feels like Rain (Buddy Guy)
Joe White – Raindrops are Fallin’ on my Head – B.J. Thomas
Nicole Vilhauer – I sing…”Rain, Rain Go Away!” especially in the winter! Although today it would be “Sing in the Rain” we need it!
Mindy Rott Mateuszczyk – I Wish it Would Rain Down – by Phil Collins.
Nicole Moore Batey – ‘Rainy Days and Mondays….’ : The Carpenters!!!!
Joe Veil – Lluvia caei by Enrique Iglesias Its in Spanish
Pamela Jean Syverson – Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain & Bring On The Rain
Jamie Crabtree – Thunder- Boys Like Girls. Shameless and unabashedly romantic.
Jesse Fletcher – CCR-Who’ll Stop the Rain
Rodger Shimp – It’s Raining Again – Supertramp
Kenn Stilger – My God Rains ! :)
Jamie Crabtree – Not necessarily a rain song, but Sara Bareilles “Come Round Soon” has some good lines in it about rain and thunder.
Chris Unick – “Thunderstorms and Neon Signs” – Wayne Hancock
Mike Wrye – God didn’t make little green apples and it don’t rain in indianopolis in the summertime (Roger Miller)
Katherine Entzminger – Rainy Days and Mondays
And my absolute favorite of the bunch (though I didn’t think of it):
John Fett – Aint No Sunshine – Bill Withers

It's Raining Again – The Imperials (nothing to do with the Supertramp song)
You can listen to it here

The song is probably close to 20 years old, and every time someone says that it is raining again, I think of this song. Every time.
Very nice Paul! Thank you.
Hi Bryan,
always love questions that refer to music…. thinking of rain songs, the first one that came up was Rain by Terence Trent D'Arby (indirectly mentioned by Nicole as the lyrics go Rain, rain, go away go away, rain, rain come back another day) and secondly Here comes the rain again from The Eurythmics (here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory,….)
Thanks for your comment, Ives. And for your input on the songs I love the Eurithmics tune.
It's great to meet you in this forum.
