Rain

Written 25/11/11

Since we landed in Sydney now 48 hours ago, it has rained. Heavy continuous rain, morning, noon and night. The news says it's the heaviest rain for six months.

Jetlagged, it's 2.30am and I'm trying to sleep, all I can hear is rain hitting the windows and bouncing off the balcony. My mind has turned to constructing a compilation album of songs that focus on rain and the fact it's raining.

My list is as follows:

Purple Rain - Prince

Rain King - Counting Crows

Rhythmn of the Rain - Cascades

Here comes the rain again - Eurhythmics

Fire and Rain - James Taylor

Rainy Day Women - Bob Dylan

Hard Rain's gonna fall - Bob Dylan

Flowers in the Rain - Move

Rain on the Roof - Lovin' Spoonful

Rainy Night in Georgia - Gladys Knight and the Pips

Raining in Baltimore - Counting Crows

Rain please go away - Alison Krauss and Union Station

Carolina Rain - Ryan Adams

Raining in my heart - Buddy Holly

Rain - The Beatles

Walking in the Rain - Love Unlimited Orchestra

Singing in the Rain - Gene Kelly

Footnote: The rain continued for five unrelenting days, it stopped as quickly as it started.
