A rainy day. Cold and grey. But what is it about rain that still fascinates people? Rain has a way of making a different atmosphere, a special rainy day atmosphere. Rainy days don't have to be boring. Why not read the newspaper in bed and enjoy the water dripping on your window pane?
Rain has also inspired musicians and songwriters through the ages. Rain is probably one of the most used topics in modern music, right after love. If we think about songs that have been written about rain, there are quite many that we spontaneously remember: November Rain, A Rainy Night in Georgia, Kentucky Rain, Purple Rain, Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, Early Mornin' Rain, All I Needed was the Rain, No Rain, When it Rains it Really Pours and simply Rain. The list goes on. What all these songs have in common is a certain mood of sentimentality. Rain songs are usually ballads about long lost loves, loneliness or stories about being heartbroken. But why? That's the question I would like to ask you! Comment me on this - all theories will be published :)

Maybe it's just because nobody likes rains much - and nature seems to lose a part of its beauty when it's raining. It becomes dull, cloudy and gray all around you - who whould like it? :)
