It's Raining Them?! Weather Girls' smash hit '80s classic is reworked for the woke generation to make it more inclusive
(to include more inclusive pronouns)"woke" -- "being highly aware of the things that take place in our society, i.e., racism and inequality," according to one definition.Yeah, I can be "woke" and inclusive, but I also know -- inclusive or not, I prefer men. And I really enjoy the Weather Girls singing about Men and precipitation, NOT every gender in the world raining on me. :)I feel a bit better about it knowing the song's composer is okay with the alteration. :) less

I'm listening to the song now - - five minutes is a long time but if you're unfamiliar with Simple Minds and/or this song, consider listening. No promises you'll like it but it's my favorite song from them.(and I know I posted a similar question already in the past, ha)

Being Australian, it’s possible he’s in Australia as he sings it, but then why would the woman ask him, “Do you come from a land down under?” It seems she would be asking, “Are you from here?” As such, he would have to be somewhere outside of Australia, right?The other verses of the song state he was in Brussels and Bombay when he ran into other people, yet not the first part of the song.~ less

I was driving (the speed limit) in my car and this song came on the car radio - - Wow - - I forgot how much I enjoy the song and Tracy Chapman
"Fast Car" Tracy Chapman
I love the bass, always wanted to try it. Others on my list are the violin and sax. I'd love to be able to have all instruments available to try at least once.

I think there might be another instrument I would take too. This uncommon instrument looks interesting as well.
It is literal torture for me to listen to Lewis Capaldi.Especially this song.(And, yes - - I get it. I am not a super famous singer, so who am I to get imitated at his voice?... more It is literal torture for me to listen to Lewis Capaldi.Especially this song.(And, yes - - I get it. I am not a super famous singer, so who am I to get imitated at his voice? But -- irritated I still get, for sure. Ha. More power to him.)
