What's your favorite song about the rain?

March winds and April showers
Make way for sweet May flowers

So hopefully the wind is behind us but as we head into April I guess we better embrace those rainy days. Mother Nature has been frozen for months and she is thirsty!

Rain seems to be a very popular metaphor for sadness in the music world. (Unless it’s purple … I mean Purple Rain is awesome right?). Sometimes we sing in the rain, we walk in the rain, raindrops keep falling on our heads … and the Weather Girls love it when it’s raining men!

Country music loves a good ballad about the rain. (why are so many country songs so sad? Cheer up country folk!)

So one of my favorite eighties artists truly loved the rain … she sang about it all the time but probably most famously in the below classic hit. I truly love Annie and Dave … in fact Dave Stewart in my opinion is one of the most underrated musicians of our generation. So as April Showers approaches I give you the amazing Eurythmics with Here Comes the Rain Again…
