It's raining you know what in Southern California. We are actually flooded in . . . no main roads are open to the outside world. We only have two ways in and one would be over the mountain and it's snowed in. I think my kid (who got a day off from school today) might have cabin fever. I've got him compiling his top ten favorite songs of 2009 and we were just wondering how many songs have the word "Rain" in them. Tell us the title and band or artist if you know it.

You're rained in AND Snowed in?!
here's a playlist of what comes to mind for me..
Eruption's "I can't Stand the Rain"
Oran "Juice" Jones' "Walking in the Rain"
Prince's "Purple Rain"
The Beatles- "Rain"
Bill Myers "Kiss the Rain"
Blue Pearl "Naked in the Rain"
The Cascades- "Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain" (it may have been a cover of this that I remember,but the Cascades have a credit,so I presume theirs is the original!)
It's rain Related.."Neil" from the classic Brit Sitcom "The Young Ones" did a cover of "Hole in My shoe"!

Yeah, rained in and snowed in and it's really really cold and dark. Time for the fireplace and a good movie. Hot chocolate and so on. Actually, we 're making banana fritters. Yumm. Okay, so look what you found . . . a whole bunch of Rain songs. I only know "Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain." Really like that song, it's very peaceful. I've heard of Purple Rain, of course, but can't remember how it goes. Anyhow, thanks Shepherd!

Oh my gosh, for months now I've been trying to remember the name of that band . . . The Alarm!!!! But now I can't remember the name of the song that I was trying to match to the band. OY!!!! Old age is setting in.

Get the bathtub outside..You'll be needing the water again soon enough! I remembered the Eurythmics "Here comes the rain again" after I posted last night,but somebody beat me to it since..let's see what else..Phil Collins "I wish it would rain Down" with an honourable mention to his "Roof is Leaking!" An '80s one.."Rain in the Summertime" by The Alarm.."Storms in Africa" by Enya.."They say it's gonna Rain" by Hazel Dean..."Hold Me tighter in the Rain" by Billy Griffin..

Hey dear friend! Some of the songs on rain have already been mentioned above by other myLotters. I want to add here 'Rain from Heaven' by Sisterhood, 'Wonderful Rain' by Les Paul, 'Love Rain' by Jill Scott, 'Rain Your Love Down' by Steve Wonder', 'I Love the Rain' by Lenny Kravitz, etc. I hope you'll love them. Good luck!

Ah, thanks my friend with the really long name . I didn't know Les Paul sang. That is the Les Paul, guitar maker man, right? He had a band? Oy, I'm so out of touch sometimes. Anyway, thanks for the song titles, I'm amazed at how many there really are.

Yes my friend! You're right about Les Paul. He is the guitar maker. I hope the other myLotter friends will provide more songs on rain to you.

Oh, I totally missed the song by Counting Crows. And, don't worry, we'll get through this rainy weather . . . I hope. It was a beautiful weekend, sunny and all. But we're getting ready for more stormy weather. Thanks for helping out with our list!

Nobody seems to have yet mentioned Malvina Reynolds' "What have they done to the rain?" or Johnny Ray's "Just Walking in the Rain". Not a song, perhaps (or maybe a 'song without words') is Claude Debussy's "Jardins sous la pluie" ("Gardens in the rain").
It's maybe a bit of a cheat but this page claims to have 775 'rain' songs! http://www.lacarte.org/songs/rain/

Yes, it's French, LOL. A lovely and romantic little piano piece. I always imagine one of those lush French gardens (like those painted by Monet) drenched in a warm summer rain with the smell of wet earth coming in through the open window.

Definitely three new ones to add to our list. "Gardens in the Rain," sounds so romantic, especially in French. Oops, that is French, right?

November Rain is also a favoritte. There is Songs About Rain by Gary Allan,he's one of my favorite singers. Rain by Creed , there's tons of songs with rain tn the title. Good luck and hopefully the rain will stop.

Love Creed. Which album was that on? And yep, the rain stopped for the weekend but we're bracing for storm number three, I think. Poor mountain people . . . I heard the storm dumped 10 feet of snow. How is that possible? Anyway, thanks Stormygrl.

Here's a few I can think of gtargirl: "I Wish It Would Rain," by The Temptations; "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head,"(I forget the artist); "A Rainy Night In Georgia," by Brook Benton(That one is a real oldie); "I Want To Go Outside In The Rain," by The Dramatics(I think); and the ever-popular "Singin' In The Rain," from the movie by Gene Kelly. I probably could come up with more if I think about it!

Some of these might have already been mentioned, but here goes, anyway.
"Fool In The Rain"-- Led Zeppelin
"Blame It On The Rain"-- Milli Vanilli
"Kiss The Rain"-- Gah! I think the singer was named "Toni" or something like that.
Everyone else got the other songs I could think of.
lol

Rain on Me--gospel song by Byron Cage, and another one, by Michael W. Smith don't remember the title. If you start on the gospel genre you will find a lot more, my brain is not working, though

The first thing that immediately came to my mind is Prince's Purple Rain.
Another one that I can think of is the children's song The Itsy Bitsy Spider.
Singin' In the Rain (I think this is from a musical)
It's Rainin' Men
Raindrops Keep Fallig on my head
I guess that is all that I can think of, but thanks so much for a discussion that made me think a little bit.

Kiss the Rain by Billie Myers
I'm so in love with this song, I don't know why. It's a song about someone wanting to connect with her loved one badly. Sounds like a long distance relationship to me =P
Your post is 6 months ago so I hope yout still feel the need to know more songs with 'RAIN' in it. =)

OH it's always fun to keep collecting. It's amazing how many more songs are popping up. And now it's Summer, so I might have to start a Summer Song collection.
