The weather features in a number of songs.
I'll do a few posts looking at different weather conditions as they appear in lyrics or song titles. Brendan Conway also has some forthcoming posts on a similar theme.
Here are a few on the theme of rain...
One of my favourites is 'Mandolin Rain' by Bruce Hornsby.
This version is from an album he made with Ricky Skaggs on a "bluegrass" album. The lyrics refer to a "bluegrass band".
Red Rain is the opening track on Peter Gabriel's 'So' which resulted in a massive change in public awareness of his work following four self titled albums and some soundtrack work. It's one of my favourite tracks of his with wonderful drumming from Manu Katché
.
And of course The Rain Song, from Led Zeppelin's album 'Houses of the Holy' (whose cover has been featured previously as the work of Hipgnosis.
What other rain or weather songs would you suggest?
Let me know in the comments?
