Man, this is really late this week. Mea culpa.
Last Thursday, on my bike commute home, I got completely drenched by a torrential rainstorm. This spectacular little downpour was the first substantial rain of the season, and marks the end of the warm dry summer, and the beginning of the gray and rainy fall. So, the choice of themes for this week’s MVM was obvious.
Eurythmics - Here Comes The Rain Again
Phil Collins - I wish it would rain down
with Eric Clapton!
Prince - Purple Rain
The Who - Love Reign O’er Me
Oooh, ‘Blame it on the Rain’ by Milli Vanilli nearly made the cut. Maybe next time.
One of these things, is not like the others
One of these thing just doesn’t belong…
Miss C., you just need to look closer:
Only love
Can make it rain
The way the beach is kissed by the sea
Only love
Can make it rain
Like the sweat of lovers
Laying in the fields.
Love, Reign o’er me
Love, Reign o’er me, rain on me
Only love
Can bring the rain
That makes you yearn to the sky
Only love
Can bring the rain
That falls like tears from on high
Love Reign O’er me
On the dry and dusty road
The nights we spend apart alone
I need to get back home to cool cool rain
I can’t sleep and I lay and I think
The night is hot and black as ink
Oh God, I need a drink of cool cool rain
