In Oregon we have the "wet season" and the "really fucking wet season". We choose to find it endearing or else sink into the depths of Seasonal Affective Disorder
That being said, I love it here and actually enjoy the rain as long as I'm not stuck in traffic on a motorcycle in it
Depends.
I love thunderstorms. I love very hard rains.
Not much on the drizzley, chilly sort of day that is just kinda 'blah'. It makes me blah too. Today is one of them. But my nice warm bowl of chicken and noodles is warming me up just fine.

Who was that country artist that sang the song "I Love a Rainy Day"? It was back in the late seventies.
That would be Eddie Rabbit.

I love rainy days and thunderstorms, and what most people would refer to as "gloomy weather"- those are my best days.
I'm waiting for someone to start a thread to see how many songs we could come up with that has rain in them.

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE RAIN
THAT MAKES YOU WANNA FIGHT ANOTHER DAY
OR COULD HAVE THE OPPOSITE EFFECT
MAKE YOU GIVE IN AND WISH THAT YOU WERE DEAD
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE RAIN
WHY DOES IT PRODUCE CONTRASTING EMOTIONS
WHY DOES IT HAVE THE POWER TO HURT AND HEAL
HOW CAN IT SO CHANGE THE WAY WE FEEL
chorus
ROMANTIC EROTIC DEPRESSING HYPNOTIC
IT'S DREARY OR REFRESHING, SIMPLY INVIGORATING
CAN DAMPEN OR IGNITE EITHER PASSION OR A FIGHT
CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BOTH DIRTY OR CLEAN
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE RAIN
THAT MAKES YOU WANNA THINK ABOUT THE PAST
AS IF SOMEHOW THE MEMORIES AND THE PAIN
COULD JUST BE WASHED AWAY AND NEVER LAST
repeat chorus repeat verse 1
IN THE RAIN YOU CAN CRY AND NO-ONE SEES YOU
IN THE RAIN YOU CAN LAUGH AND NO-ONE CARES
IN THE RAIN YOU CAN CRY AND NO-ONE SEES YOU
IN THE RAIN YOU CAN LAUGH AND NO-ONE CARES
I'd love one right now.
If we are going to talk about rain songs, I have always enjoyed this acoustically-driven one from Jars of Clay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grJR-7FkoWc
"Flood"Rain, rain on my face
It hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud
[Chorus:]
But if I can't swim after forty days
and my mind is crushed by the thrashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again
Downpour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean, I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground
[Chorus]
Calm the storms that drench my eyes
Dry the streams still flowing
Cast down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me
[Chorus]
Lift me up - when I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again
It is a prayer to God for strength, and He has always been the one that sustains me.
I'm just glad I'm still here to experience them.

Me too. Some days I don't feel that way, but today's a better day, despite the overcast, or perhaps because of it. We all need the rain (and the sun), just not too much of either.
