Raining All Over the World

I was reading a comment on one of my posts this morning by ML. She was talking about how it's raining in Europe. There are many more on here that seem to be getting rain. It is truly Raining All Over the World. I was instantly reminded of this classic 1973 ELO song. A blast from the past. I find it so interesting how a word or two can take you back to a song you have not heard in many many years. Does this happen to you? Do you remember this song?

I do remember that song, but thankfully it’s sunny sand 71 as a high here today. Can you imagine if it rained all at once all over the world? Yikes!

I don't know that song, but it's very interesting how it seems to be raining everywhere! And that is interesting how a word or two can take you back to a song you forgot about/haven't heard in forever!

Words do take us to different situations. @sofs talked of not worrying about tomorrow and that took me to Connie Francis' song 'Forget Domani' Have you listened to it?

it was gloomy this morning which is a sign of good luck for those celebrating their birthdays today; therefore my son must be lucky. a while ago, it drizzled, then rained but only for a short time.

We had a rare sunny day here in Ohio. I don't remember the song. But often something will trigger a memory of an old song!

Well that is good. It is a classic old song by the Eagles from the 70s.

@CarolDM yes the song is indeed very long, but I'm not a song observer, so I don't know when the song was made

We've had our share of rain here in New Zealand in recent weeks too, but have now had a week of summer sunshine. I love the connection to the song there!

Nice, sunny, and dry here, which I can't complain, although we could use the moisture.
