Some time ago I posted a few articles on LinkedIn groups asking for people's feedback to the question - what's the perfect soundtrack to a rainy day? As I type, I can hear rain falling on the tin roof of the sunroom outside my studio door. It's an awesome and relaxing sound. Public access isn't available to most of the LinkedIn posts which provided feedback to this question, so I'll list the feedback I received here. I must preface this by saying that these are the opinions of people who shared their thoughts with me. I am in turn sharing this with you, appreciating that music is very much about personal experience and taste. I would not wish to filter this list to exclude something you may also enjoy when the rain is falling around you. So, in no particular order, here we go - 10 songs to listen to on a rainy day: 1. Sketches of Spain - Miles Davis 2. The Fountain soundtrack - Clint Mansell 3. Beneath An Evening Sky - Ralph Towner, Slava Grigoryan, Wolfgang Muthspiel 4. Summertime - George Gershwin 5. Pink Moon - Nick Drake 6. Rainy Nights In Georgia - Brook Benton 7. Monument - KiloWatts 8. Ommadawn - Mike Oldfield 9. It Feels Like Rain - Aaron Neville (composed by John Hiatt) 10. Cumulus Rising - Alex De Grassi Enjoy. Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved. Leave a Reply |
