What song would you add to a rainy-day playlist?
“Rain” by George Winston, a piano instrumental. The way he plays it just sounds like rain. And “Rainy Days and Mondays” by The Carpenters pops into my head.

“It’s a Beautiful Morning” by the Rascals. If it’s a rainy day I might play that to lift my spirits, because I like that song. I wouldn’t use a rainy-day song because I’d be depressed.

“It Never Rains In Southern California,” by Albert Hammond. “It never rains in California, but girl, don’t they warn ya? It pours, man, it pours.” I think that’s my answer.
Nick Lubamersky, 23, Business Operations
“River” by Joni Mitchell comes to mind, but it doesn’t mention rain specifically. “It’s coming on Christmas, they’re cutting down trees / They’re putting up reindeer and singing songs of joy and peace.” It sounds like a rainy day, like today.
Maggie Hoogs, 58, Farmer
“Everybody Hurts” by REM. It’s a gloomy song for a gloomy day. That’s my answer and I’m sticking with it.
Ted Rickard, 22, Business Operations
“Wild Flower” by Beach House. When I look out the window when it’s raining, that is the best song. You can imagine yourself taking a stroll through the woods. … “Say Yes To Heaven” by Lana Del Rey is super melodic, it’s so calming.
Vance Tanner, 16, Harbor High Botany Major
