Music for Rainy Days
Posted by Lando Cakes on 9 July 2011 - 7:35pm.
It's summer and it feels like I should be outside, doing stuff.
Instead it is - periodically - chucking it down and I am left to potter about indoors. Currently this entails drinking a nice cup of Earl Grey and looking out of the window at the rain. If I'm honest, I quite like this kind of thing occasionally; that slightly melancholic feeling. It needs a soundtrack, of course.
My first choice for such moments is The Paris Match by the Style Council (Tracey Thorn version) which seems to capture that feeling well.
Any other rainy day suggestions?

Anything by the Blue Nile
They must record each album in November with rain streaming down the windows.
The master
Jimi Hendrix - Rainy Day Dream Away/Still Raining, Still Dreaming
Oh Carole!
It Might As Well Rain Until September
The headline
made me think of Jayhawks of course.
From Rainy Day Music, here's Save It For A Rainy Day:
You don't need anything else Lando
Your first choice is magnificent, one of Weller's best. If there's ever a silver lining to a relationship ending, it's the chance to listen to that song while driving listlessly through rain soaked streets, imagining your making your way through the winding roads up the hill of Monmatre.
Off to listen now, bring on the rain......
Here's that rainy day
I was looking for the Sinatra version on Youtube and came across Bill Evans version. Beautiful
Weekend
And then there's this gem - Weekend's 'A View from her Room"
