From the rain-soaked streets of London to the alleys of Portland, people love to complain about rain. But people the world over also love to sing about the rain. It's not all sadness and metaphors for weeping, either. Sure, you'll find some tears amid the 25 songs about rain below, but you'll also find psychedelic classics, joyful club bangers and wet-hot disco jams. Together, they constitute the ultimate rainy-day playlist. Don't worry about the rain, either. Rihanna brought her umbrella.

Love & Rain: Love Songs is a compilation album by Japanese singer Toshinobu Kubota. The album was released on November 24, 2010 on Sony Music Entertainment Japan and peaked at number 11 on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart.[1] The album features the songs "Love Rain (Koi no Ame)" and "Rain", which had just been newly recorded at the time.

"Love Rain" is one of several tracks from Scott's debut album to discuss love, employing weather metaphors to describe a new relationship.[2][3][4] The first verse profiles a couple dating in Philadelphia, Scott's hometown, and describes their activities: talking, taking walks, and having sex.[5] The second verse adopts a more graphic tone, with Scott employing syncopated vocals to sing the lines "Love slipped from my lips/Dripped down my chin and landed in his lap/And us became new [...] Made the coochie easy and the obvious invisible".[5][6][7] Ultimately, the song reveals that the relationship is not as ideal as it first appears, with Scott singing that "wide open loose/the mistake was made".[4]

In the July 8, 2000, issue of Billboard, Who Is Jill Scott?: Words & Sounds, Vol. 1 was reviewed favorably and received a "spotlight" designation, while the review named "Love Rain" a "standout" of the album.[13] Also in that issue, a critic for the Dance Trax Hot Plate deemed the remix a "delicious slab of funky soul", comparing Scott's style to that of Erykah Badu and Macy Gray.[1] AllMusic and music critic Robert Christgau likewise considered the track an album highlight.[14][15] Sal Cinquemani, writing for Slant, described the song as "drenched in thick beats and poetic sex" and commented that "Prince would be both proud and aroused" by the "love slipped from my lips" line.[16] In a 2018 retrospective, Okayplayer highlighted the "love slipped from my lips" lyrics when ranking the song as one of "Eight Times Jill Scott Celebrated Sexuality Through Song".[6] Also in 2018, rapper Mick Jenkins analyzed the song for the Pitchfork "Favorite Verse" series, arguing that the song's spoken-word segments should be considered rap.[3]

ruth - the link to oulipo is a gift so first of all thankyou. then into the rewrite which has qualities of dadaist writing - perhaps gentler and with more overt organization. rain - well i have never stopped loving rain and it's hard to explain to anyone who cringes at the thought of walking or biking in the rain but its many sensual qualities endear it to me. the only form of rain i find difficult to love is freezing rain and that's only because it hurts when it hits and makes biking impossible. have a lovely day! steven

Steven, you are welcome. What is Dada? Beatrice Wood said when asked, What is Dada?  What I know is that I do not know what is this Dada. I think there is a clue in there that we can pull back from our analytical thinking and just let words play and "inform" us through another way of knowing.


You and Lorenzo like riding in the rain. Lorenzo is lucky to have warmer temps in Spain, though I don't think it rains there much when it's hot. You and I get a lot of chilly rain, and yes, it can be painful! Have a beautiful weekend.

For a couple of years, after I'd moved west from Toronto, I lived by myself in a little house, on a hill, surrounded by woods. One of my favourite things to do was to go dancing in the rain, barefoot, the mud squishing and squelching through my toes. 


The N+7 is rather brilliant -- I will try it -- once I get this book off to the printers next week!


And I agree -- that line is fabulous!


Thank you for the reminder of the joy and wonder of rainy days.

Lorenzo, I'm glad you liked this little project, since I thought you might, with your personal attentions to both literary and mathematical expressions. Then you tried it right away, with our beloved WCW's Red Wheelbarrow! Everything in your N+7 is pretty great, actually. Raisin can be a color, and wattle is quite a lovely word. I just looked it up: basketweave with twigs, etc. The image of an old wheel chair, rusting away on the roadside where white chicory blooms (ah well, who cares if chicory's blue, this chicory is white), the chair growing rust with a basketweave patina of raisin brown on that red paint is quite evocative!


That's a great Billie Holiday quote. Walking in the rain really does sort of make you stop talking, thinking and threatening. :-) Do be careful if you go riding in the rain.

Louise, you are rather brilliant to go out dancing in the rain, barefoot in the mud! 


Best wishes on the book! Happy spring, and may you have some warm, squishy mud days ahead.

i am twisted up and confused, truth be told, as i reject math like bad medicine. imagine my child face squished and turned. and yet, starting with Hughes' easy love of rain, his common language, and the driving simplicity of the AND in and i love rain, i find myself leaving with love for rain, the Gujrati herdsmen, and you, clever you. you are always pushing at my boundaries. perhaps a little math medicine might just do me good:)


great fun, ruth. i wonder then on the selection of specific words at all. i wonder on the nature of value of language and the egotistical value of the poems we create. if they can be redone rather arbitrarily - then what? it is a wonderfully humbling process actually.

This is such fun, a little light-hearted playing with words is a very enjoyable pastime.


Unfortunately, there is no rain today and I am working in the garden, with just a quick break for lunch and an equally quick look at the blogworld; so I am now off out again and will have to start playing this evening, when I will be very tired and ready to collapse over a poem or two.


See you later.

Erin, I reject math too, all except addition. I can deal with addition. :-) It was the start of algebra in 7th grade that turned math into something like Cod Liver Oil, so I am with you there.


What you wrote next is why I love exploring these word exercises. Pulling and tugging and rearranging is a good way to push back from myself and allow something or someone else in. Robert Kelley wrote a new poem-book by inserting his own words and lines into Percy Bysshe Shelley's Mont Blanc. That was my first encounter with this idea of intruding on another person's work like this, and remaking it into something new.

Friko, so good of you to stop in on your lunch break and promise, or threaten as in Lorenzo's Billie Holiday quote, some N+7 love. I remember your recent post about your appreciation of English weather an rainy, cool springs. Happy gardening, keep your feet and hands muddy!

:D Love this! First off, I nearly put up "April Rain Song" (it is one of my most favorites) but then it stopped raining... I loved the rain as a kid (and yes played "house" beneath my mom's piano), but especially enjoyed the after-rain, riding my bike through the center of mudpuddles, loving the splash...


I love the Rajasthani ("beat upon your heap with silver liquid drowse"--brilliant). And even though I can date my math-anxiety, I've gotta try this. For the fun of playing with words, like mud.(and yes, humbling, as erin said)

Who has put new tools in whose toolkit now? Who has, as always, let in more light?


And Lorenzo, "wattle" is perfect--being the chicken and so much more.


Thank you for rauf's photos, too.

Ruth, wonderful post! I love coming here, even on a sunny day. As a kid growing up in Southern California I can remember how exhilarating the rain was for me. It was a rare and special treat. I remember my confusion that mom and dad did seem to see the wonder and magic of rain. They would prefer we played indoors and witness the rain from inside the house.


As for the N+7, I was going to join the fun, but my search for an actual dictionary came up short! (I've taken them all to school.) I was surprised that I have come to rely on online dictionaries as much as I do!

Well, this is pretty cool. I can see where I could spend some time plugging around with this one -- I have to say, your version makes wonderful "sense." 


I've a love-hate relationship with rain. I love it when I'm inside and can all the lovely things one can do -- read a book, be leisurely, make divine food in a cozy kitchen, cuddle with an orange cat. I love it at night to lull me to sleep. But out in it? I'm afraid I've aged...!

Lovely, this! And coincidence, earlier this week I started writing a Oulipo Snowball constraint! (a friend of mine is an Oulipo fan and drawing me over to it as well - I place full blame with Georges Perec!)


Hope your weekend is grand, mine's been massages & hamburgers & puppies in the mix, never a dull second!

Jeanie, I like puzzles, maybe you do too. This kind of hunt and peck and seeing what fate brings is lots of fun for me. 


We spent a pretty miserable lunch outdoors in Ann Arbor Friday at the TED conference listening to our son's band perform: 40-something degrees, rain. It was not pleasant. But when the music started, I forgot it completely, lost.

What an interesting exercise! Now I'm beginning to understand the phrase "constraint without limitation". (I read your current post first and then scrolled down.) Structures can indeed unleash creativity and variety. Thanks for the insight, Ruth! 0852c4b9a8
