Five Feet High and Rising

Como tengo que sentarme a estudiar matemática, me dispuse a pensar en un soundtrack apropiado para el día de la fecha. Al mirar por la ventana me di cuenta de que conozco muchas canciones que hablan sobre mi estado climático favorito, o al menos contienen la palabra en su título. Rain, linda palabra, no?

And it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard,
It's a hard rain's a-gonna fall

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears.
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand,
I got all the love, honey baby,
You can stand.

In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand
And an aching in my heart and my pockets full of sand
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved one so
In the early morning rain with nowhere to go.

When the storm clouds gather 'round you, and heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end

Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain

Rolling through the rain and hail, looking for the sunny side of love

Don't let me change my heart, keep me set apart from all the plans they do pursue.
And I, I don't mind the pain, don't mind the driving rain
I know I will sustain, 'cause I believe in you.

Didn't I, didn't I try to love you? Didn't I, didn't I try to care?
Didn't I sleep, didn't I weep beside you, with the rain blowing in your hair?

If not for you my sky would fall, rain would gather too.
Without your love I'd be nowhere at all, I'd be lost if not for you, and you know it's true.

Nobody feels any pain tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows that Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows have fallen from her curls.

I stood unwound beneath the skies and clouds unbound by laws.
The cryin' rain like a trumpet sang and asked for no applause.

Sayin' one of your friends is in trouble deep,
Turn, turn to the rain and the wind.

The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain

Bob Dylan

Y pensar que dejé muchas afuera. Te gusta poco hablar de la lluvia, no, Bob?

If I wait for cloudy skies
You won't know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You'll never know
That I still love you so
Though the heartaches remain
I'll do my crying in the rain

The Everly Brothers

Sunday morning rain is falling
Steal some covers share some skin
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved

Maroon 5

Hey mr. rain
Ain't you follow me down?
I've been working baby oh! so hard
Stayin up in the sky
Hey mr. rain
Ain't you follow me down?

Dark cloudy bars, shiny Cadillac cars
And the people on subways and trains
Looking gray in the rain as they stand disarrayed,
All the people look well in the dark

I'll be your mirror, reflect what you are in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset,
The light on your door to show that you're home

The Velvet Underground

I am the rain
Held in disdain
Lotions and potions just add to my fame
The rime that in spain
Fall on the plain
The truth is I'm ruthless, I can't be contained.
I'm the rain

Peter Doherty

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Alanis Morissette

The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine
The wind is gonna blow, the waters gonna rise
She said, when that day comes look into my eyes
But no ones giving up quite yet, we've got too much to lose

Augustana

Ideas swirl but don't stick.
They appear but then run off like rain on the windshield.

The Cribs

Without you, the ground thaws, the rain falls, the grass grows.
Without you, the seeds root, the flowers bloom, the children play.
The stars gleam, the poets dream, the eagles fly, without you.
The earth turns, the sun burns, but I die, without you.

Rent

Night and days, summer and rain,
Talking about your sovereignty, talking about the queen and me

The Tellers

Ok, hasta acá todos la toman por un lado bastante deprimente. Pero a mí no me deprime, sino que todo lo contrario, por lo cual seguí pensando...

And I don't understand why I sleep all day
And I start to complain that there's no rain
And all I can do is read a book to stay awake
And it rips my life away, but it's a great escape

Blind Melon

Se puede decir que a pesar de que la letra sigue siendo bastante deprimente, la música es por el contrario feliz. Además está pidiendo lluvia, más que suficiente. Gracias Shannon.
De todas maneras ninguna de estas canciones representan el día de hoy.

Hey, come look through the window pane,
The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train
Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain,
4 feet high and risin'
How high's the water, mama?
Five feet high and risin'
How high's the water, papa?
Five feet high and risin'

Johnny Cash

Sí, creo que esa es la letra más apropiada. Este round lo gana Mr. Cash.
