Summer Rain; Praying Someone Feels the Same


And so the Summer comes to an end… apparently.

Summer rain, for all it's frustrations and faults, still provides us with some classic music. There's something rather poetic about rain in Summer - the wistfulness that attends as thoughts of hazy sunny days fade away, replaced by drizzly grey reality. The first track here, Blind Melon's No Rain [youtube] captures this perfectly - so used do we get to rain in the Summer that it seems strange and bewildering when we are faced with bright sunshine. Indeed, after weeks of sweltering heat, the release of a Summer storm is often more than welcome, as in Pain Killer (Summer Rain) [last.fm], by Turin Brakes.
