1. The Sky Is Broken-Moby
This is an unofficial music video for this incredible song. You can almost feel the thunders over your hair and the smell of humid streets and wet land. The sound is soft and the words are not singed, It's like moby reading a smooth letter that falls like the rythm of the raindrops.
2. Stranger in Moscow-Michael Jackson
I don't know if I should say it here, but it's certainly one of my favourite songs of all time. This song doesn't even need a videoclip, it opens with the falling rain and keeps on with the clouds talking by themselves and Michael's angelic voice singing with an agony that makes pain feel nice. The video is directed by the amazing photographer Nick Brandt and represents the washing power of rain, to take away suffer and expose a new identity, it's a kind of spiritual song. By the way, the lyrics are very profound "Swift and fallen fall from grace/ Armagedon of the brain... Happy days will drown the pain...". I just love it.
3. Beth Orton-Tangent
Dark drums and bass build the perfect sound of this song from the female singer Beth Orton. Totally suitable when you walk into dark corners and cold streets, it's the city talking by itself power, her voice is like not ending some words, but fits completely with her unique style. As she says; "could be just like coming home..."
4. Weather Storm-Craig Armstrong
Deep, intriguing and emotional. Even without lyrics, this masterpiece from the artist Craig Armstrong is the most complete description of a storm, including both algid and calm down moments. It's an excelent soundtrack for electric storms.
5. Fear of falling under-Darren Hayes
An electronic and progressive beat become this song so impressive. If you want to extrude your fears into the outside of a storm, this song will correctly go with you. It's like being in the flood and tide at same time, in dark and fast waters that drive you into the rabbit hole. Lyrics are just amazing, fast and precise words, right to the veins: "Got a fear of falling under/ underneath the dream/ a fear of falling too deep... underneath the spell..."
6. Is Jesus your Pal-Gus Gus
Now, we are not only watching the rain or getting wet outside, we are into the sadness and deep reflection of the mind and spirit: "So come and sit on my box/ enjoy the view of this water/ where my lifeboat is sinking...". The song is very simple, almost no instruments, the very touching voice and lyrics do the whole work.
7. Something about us-Daft Punk
"It might not be the right time/ I might not be the right one..." This song is the calm down after a storm, a gentle rain like the one that starts the song. So smooth and relaxing, with lovely and simple lyrics that combine with the very envolving sound of Daft Punk, I totally recommend it.
8. Depth of My Soul-Thievery Corporation
9. Someone-Hooverphonic
One of my favourite albums with a deep, deep song, plus with the best leading singer I think they had. Her voice feels like a warm whisper in the middle of cold wind and raindrops. This songs even makes you feel the cool breeze outside. Simply wonderful and powerful.
10. Virtual Friend-Armin Van Buuren ft. Sophie
A very magical vibe is created with the beating of this song, the amazing vocal performance of Sophie and the reflexive lyrics about loneliness in the computers era make a this trance song completely different from the rest. "Sitting by software Windows, trying to find a virtual friend... By the way, are you watching how the world says farewell?...". It's just overwhelming, and the bridge brings you no doubt that even in the rainy days you can still dance.
And... A bonus track!!
Hypnogaja-Here comes The Rain Again
Now, this last one is for the furious rocker people. Emotional, it makes you want to scream it loud instead of singing it. Great, great song.
