[Rain Songs] A selection of Western music to listen to on rainy days – Rainy Songs (21–30)
No RainBlind Melon
Included on Blind Melon’s 1992 debut album, Blind Melon, the song’s music video became a huge hit, making the “Bee Girl” character wildly popular in the United States.
Although vocalist Shannon Hoon had appeared in a Guns N’ Roses music video before the band’s debut—giving them name recognition ahead of time—they were not a hard rock band, but rather an alternative rock band with a Southern rock lean.
Paris in the RainLauv
This is a 2017 release by American singer-songwriter Lauv.
The calm tone and Lauv’s soothing vocals are lovely, and the simple, romantic lyrics are great, so I recommend it.
Just imagining rainy Paris has its own charm, doesn’t it? For a rainy day date, listening to this song while you and your partner enjoy the rain itself would create a wonderfully atmospheric mood.

After ther RainNelson
Rain is often used as a negative metaphor, but in this song, it says that the never-ending rain washes away all sorrow.
When the rain stops, the pain will disappear as well.
The sight of the blond twin duo Nelson singing breezily with their golden hair flowing perfectly embodies the refreshing feeling after the rain.
The harmonies in the chorus are especially exhilarating.
Mandolin RainBruce Hornsby & The Range
Included on the 1986 album “The Way It Is.” A five-piece rock band formed in 1984.
The piano that runs throughout the track enhances the beauty of the song’s tone.
The vocalist’s soulful delivery over the mellow, melancholic melody really hits you in the heart.
Singin’ in the RainGene Kelly
Rainy days tend to make us feel blue, don’t they? Especially when I have to go out, I don’t feel any sense of fun at all.
But watching the music video for this song, I can’t help but feel that maybe I could enjoy rainy days too.
It’s a song that puts you in a positive mood.
RainMadonna
This is the fifth single from Erotica, Madonna’s fifth album released in 1992—the living legend of American female singers and the original diva.
In the music video, Madonna’s calm look with black hair is striking, which is unusual for her.
While many of her hits feature dance-oriented sounds, Rain offers a more subdued feel, with her singing as if quietly speaking of love.
It’s a single that reveals a new side of Madonna.
Laughter In The RainNeil Sedaka
It’s Neil Sedaka’s “Laughter in the Rain,” released in 1974.
Such a gentle singing voice, isn’t it? When I first heard it, for a moment I even wondered if it might be a woman—the voice is that delicate and tender.
With that gentle delivery, he pours into the song the cozy happiness of a loving couple.
Reading the lyrics will give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.
In those early days of a romance, you’re full of happiness no matter if it’s raining.
Even on rainy days, you can be close.
That’s why the happy protagonist in the lyrics makes me a little envious and takes me back to my middle school romances before I know it.
