Rainbow Blues
And I waved at the stage door-keeper said, "Mister, get me to the stage on time." Oh, but the rain wasn't made of water and the snow didn't have a place in the sun so I slipped behind a rainbow and waited till the show had done.

Jethro to begin a new and exciting monthly ride, this time Rain, a good proposal by our dear "thinker" Greg. Thanks
Let me bring you songs from the wood: to make you feel much better than you could know. Dust you down from tip to toe. Show you how the garden grows. Hold you steady as you go. Join the chorus if you can: it'll make of you an honest man. Let me bring you love from the field: poppies red and roses filled with summer rain. To heal the wound and still the pain that threatens again and again as you drag down every lover's lane. Life's long celebration's here. I'll toast you all in penny cheer. Let me bring you all things refined: galliards and lute songs served in chilling ale. Greetings well met fellow, hail! I am the wind to fill your sail. I am the cross to take your nail: A singer of these ageless times. With kitchen prose and gutter rhymes. Songs from the wood make you feel much better.

I haven't been around, so I don't know if I am playing right but...
Tomorrow is the one day I would change for a Monday with freezing rains melting and no trains running and sad eyes passing in windows flimsy and my seat rocking from legs not quite matching Got passport, credit cards, a plane that I'm catching Black Sunday falls one day too soon

Winds howled. Rains spit down. All these nights playing precious games. Cheap hotel in some seaboard town closed down for the winter and whispered names. Puppy-dog waves on a big moon sea snap our heels half-heartedly and how come you know better than me that this is not love. No, this is not love.
And your little sister's immaculate virginity wings away on the bony shoulders of a young horse named George, who stole surreptitiously into her geography revision...

Now the sum breaks through rain as I climb Glen Shiel on the trail of those old cattlemen who drove their bargain south again. And in the eyes of those five sisters of Kintail there's a wink of seduction from the mainland.

I am so sorry, Serge! I didn't mean to rain on your parade or steal your thunder! At least that great song found its way here, whoever posted it.
A few more, starting with another of my favourite Decemberists tracks:
It's been a record year for rainfall.
David Bowie. Five Years.
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor.
Adele. Set Fire To The Rain.
Captain Beefheart. My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains.
In the half-tone light of a young morning she sighs and shits on the pillow.

Likely the representative Deadhead in this group so posting a few, though I lack the simple knowledge of posting where the video is actually visible, as most or all of video posting is normally to Facebook. So if this works right it will be by accident. The Grateful Dead have so many weather related songs that I think I better keep it to where its actually in the title. Things like Cold Rain and Snow were often used to good effect when the actual weather was thus.

A Hard Rain Is A-Gonna Fall - Bryan Ferry
After the rain everything is plenty of beauty, water is undoubtedly fully necessary to survive over this planet, humans, nature, plants, trees, rivers and mainly Life couldn't exist on this world without, so please be concerned with taking care the Nature. The sloth is wishing you'll do it.
The spectacle after the rain is another matchless strong point to delight in.
jioffe, never mind, i was joking under a bit of surprise for the coincidence of likes. The Decemberist have been a great find for me.
Great Dead and Jimy songs, rrrrrrrray, thanks for joining.
Icy Lucifer, add the vids, mate. it's fairly easy, click on Tube here above and insert in the middle the html address of the vid you want to share. Thanks for the Dylan' cover.
