It's a gloomy, rainy day. What are some songs I can listen to and fully embrace the mood?

Songs about sunshine and hope are not welcome here.

    JINX!!! This is my favorite Enya tune. I've spent many a day peering out my window on the mountain or strolling down the dirt roads with my headphones on lost in thought listening to this.

  • Aww!  I should have handed that song over to you for posting.  We do think alike so often.  That's one of the things I love about us.  Of course when we do veer off in separate directions it is amazing how vast the difference is LOL!  I almost went with this song instead.  It came to mind when m2c posted The Carpenters above.  Its an "Easy Listening" Grammy Award winning throwback to yesteryear, circa 1982, long before her techno club remixes..."    Raining On The Inside" by Amy Grant.  Would you have expected anything else from me? LOL!

    I would have never expected anything less. Of course!

    We do think alike. I had the unofficial song name to that, "Listen to the Rain" ready to drop on my phone to post. 
    So without any further to-do, I present the magnificent Barry Manilow in all his cheesy charm!

    All of your life has been rambling, scurrying
    Take your time rather than hurry
    Never too late to write the rest of your story
    Remember to breathe or else you're gonna be sorry
    Life's no race, it's a companion
    Always face with reckless abandonment
    A ticket to life as the mother once told me
    Stick with your pride and you're gonna be lonely

  • Great answer.  Have you liked any of their new stuff? Maybe 13 years was too long of a wait...I can't say I'm that into it.

  • "Rain (setting out in the leaf boat)"      by The Innocence Mission


    This dress that I made out of the curtains
    Was on the line dancing around 
    Better than I can
    Now we walk up to the top of the street

    Once letting go rain sails us in a leafy boat
    Down the street and we’ll be there before we know

    There go the lawn chairs
    Some frogs are racing them to catch up with me
    Gray buildings go by
    Violety sky lit up with trees in yellow

    Once letting go rain sails us in a leafy boat
    Down the street and we’ll be there before we know

    Hey, is that you going by, swimming by
    Hey, is that you zig-zagging, whizzing by
    Sailing up, sailing by

    Once letting go rain sails us in a leafy boat
    Down the street and we’ll be there before we know
