Ghost of Electricity Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 it's been raining here for a couple of weeks, and now the flooding is pretty bad as well. So, to help deal with the lack-of-summer-doldrums I started thinking about songs about rain, or at least with the word rain in the title. Bob Dylan- A hard rain's a-gonna fallJayhawks- Settled down like rainBeatles- RainCCR- Have you ever seen the rainPrince- Purple rainEurythmics- Here Comes the rain againViolent femmes- I hear the rainGreatful Dead- Box of Rain there have to be hundreds of these out there...anyone?
