Say won't you Say

I wish I were the Rain

What is it about the weather having such an effect on our over all perception of the day? We let it determine our attitude and mood so many times. Although I think my forecast detector is off sometimes b/c I tend to be opposite in what one would think is normal. aka: its Sunny= you are happy....It's rainy and cold and dark= you are depressed and sad. I think the Rain quite nice in many circumstances. There are so many songs about Rain that are appreciative of it and all of its goodness. For example: " I wish I were the Rain, because it can fall as hard as it wants to......cry for hours and weeks on end and never feel a bit out of place."~SheDaisy

Also, "Rain down your love upon me, pour out Your mercies on me, please wont you take me to your Springs of Life"~Ginny Owens

ok this one is not so much about the Rain, but Its referring to the Lord who gives us the Rain so freely and also His love......let's see whats another one, Oh yes....."I'm singing in the Rain, just singing in the Rain, what a Glorious feeling I'm Happy Again!"~Jaime Cullum/Frank Sinatra versions both equally good

A new one that I recently discovered by Patty Griffin, Corrie introduced me to her and she's phenominal, "Strange how hard it rains now, rows and rows of big dark clouds, but i'm holding on underneath this shrowd, Raaaaaaaaaaaain."

While all of these songs are great Rain songs, the song that I am choosing to sing, in my head of course, is one by the great early 90's pop duo Milli-Vanilli that goes somthing like this, "Blame it on the Rain, YEAH YEAH, Blame it on the stars that shine above, whatever you do , dont put the blame on you, Blame it on the Rain YEAH YEAH!"
