    “it rains softly on the city” arthur rimbaud”

    here’s a few tracks that might fit the bill

    “undress my mind” by ocho

    and “rainy day, dream away” by someone who used to live in london

    and, as a bonus for monsieur jelly, ravel’s “jeux d’eau”

    jazz musicians’ “humor” (should be “Bess”, not “Bless”, btw):

    Why does it always rain on me (if that’s the title)
    It’s raining men
    Stormy weather (not sure if the word ‘rain’ comes up in this one, but storms tend to involve rain.)
    Hard Rain
    Anything by Wet, Wet, Wet
    I can’t stand the rain

    There must be more.

    Rain until September?

    Looking quite likely at mid-July! Still… a good excuse to remind oneself of Helen Schapiro.

    [...] Shirazists play rain songs, as it is doing nothing but raining in these sceptred isles. Can you think of any better [...]
