[Rain Songs] A selection of Western music to listen to on rainy days — Rainy Songs (11–20)
Ain’t No Other ManChristina Aguilera
Released on June 6, 2006, right in the middle of the rainy season, Christina Aguilera’s “Ain’t No Other Man” appears on her fifth album, Back to Basics.
It’s a track where you can fully enjoy her signature belting style.
The heavy breakbeat and flashy brass, reminiscent of ’90s hip-hop, further highlight her glamorous presence.
Aguilera won the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for this song.
It’s a defining track of her career!
Too Much RainPaul McCartney
This song is one of the tracks on Paul’s 2005 release, “Chaos and Creation in the Backyard.” Literally translated, the title means “Too Much Rain.” Here, “too much rain” refers to overwhelming difficulties and pain that one can’t carry.
It’s wrong that in life, hardship, suffering, and pain should pour down like excessive rain on certain people.
Smile.
If you want happiness, you need to smile, and you have to learn how to smile—this is what the song says.
We understand that, but it’s really not easy, is it? Especially when you’re grieving, it’s even harder.
DreamsFleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac is an indispensable rock band when discussing the UK soft rock scene, drawing attention with their gentle, uniquely crafted band sound.
Dreams, included on their 1977 album Rumours, is a medium-tempo track perfect for a mellow listen on a rainy day.
Stevie Nicks’s clear, translucent vocals ring out alongside the band’s tender performance, leaving a strong impression.
The song portrays feelings toward a struggling lover, with poetic lyrics that liken the band’s relationships to “rain” and “thunder.” Even if the eye wanders to someone else, the sentiment that “in the end, you’ll understand” resonates throughout.
It’s a song that pairs beautifully with a blue, rainy-day mood—give it a listen.
Beauty And A Beat ft. Nicki MinajJustin Bieber
Pop star Justin Bieber, who has captivated the world with his sweet looks and vocals.
“Beauty and a Beat,” from his 2012 album Believe, is an upbeat party track that will blow away those rainy-day blues.
It features leading female rapper Nicki Minaj, making it a dream collaboration between two heavyweights.
When you’re feeling low, put on this song and power through your day!
Come in With the RainTaylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s classic “Come in With the Rain,” released in 2008, marks a turning point in her career and showcases her country roots.
The lyrics portray the anguished cry of a woman who, for certain reasons, has broken up with her boyfriend.
Particularly striking is the line, “Just know I’m right here hoping, that you’ll come in with the rain.” The psychological depiction of her impossible wish—that he’ll come to her through the rain—is the song’s most heartrending element.
Come CleanHilary Duff
Hilary Duff is an American pop singer who rose to fame on the Disney Channel series Lizzie & Lizzie and went on to launch her singing career.
Come Clean is a mid-tempo track from her 2003 album Metamorphosis, which was also a hit in Japan.
The melancholic mood evoked by the recurring guitar riff—like rain falling—is especially striking.
While it portrays a relationship drifting out of sync, it also feels infused with a cry from the heart and inner emotions.
As the phrase “let the rain wash everything away” suggests, the song offers comfort to those looking to make up or make a fresh start.
