Rain Songs

Though it has been two months late, rainy season here in the Philippines has stepped in, and stormy days are frequent since last week! Therefore, there are frequent suspended classes, heavy traffic and flooded thouroughfares (even Quentin Tarantino had to ride a pedicab just to get to Malacanang to receive his Lifetime Achievement Award from 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival), and of course lenghty time to snuggle in bed and snooze! Why not take the opportunity especially with students to have some fun while there’s no classes? Sing it out! Maybe rains would go even harder because of your voices, but so what? You’re enjoying!

How about sing songs about the weather? Select from the built-in songs the tunes about drizzles and mizzles, rainfalls and raindrops! Or slot your song chip and look for weather singles, I’m sure there are songs about the rain that you can find under pop, or love songs, rock songs, hip-hop songs, country songs, jazz songs and more.

Here are some of the many many songs with rain on them (:
