Not sure what the weather was like in your place on the world, but here in The Netherlands it was raining almost the whole day. So today the weather was my inspiration. At first I was thinking about a list of songs about the weather, but why not be more precise and pick 10 tracks about rain. It seems there are plenty available. I chose for a mix of classics and more dancebale tracks. At least they don’t suck like the weather did today. Enjoy!
10. Blue Pearl – Naked In The Rain (Original 12″ Extended Mix)
If I’m correct I posted this track in a previous list. Produced by longtime Orb collaborator Martin Glover (aka Youth) featuring vocals from Durga Mc Broom who also worked as a background singer for Pink Floyd.
9. B.J Thomas – “Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head”
This track was recorded in 1969. Same year as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped on the moon. Also the year my parent got married.
8. Gene Kelly – Singing in the Rain
Let’s go back further in time. This track comes from the 1952 musical with the same name.
7. Frankie Knuckles – Rain Falls (David’s Soakin’ Wet Mix)
A lot more recent than the two previous ones. But a lot of people will call this a classic as well.
6. Solarstone – Rain Stars Eternal (RNX Extended Mix)
Favorite dj/producer Robert Nickson remixes favorite dj/producer Solarstone.
5. C’hantal – The Realm (Acapella)
Hot like the sun, wet like the rain. Besides Jack had a groove this must be one of the most used acapellas in house music.
4. Kane – Rain Down On Me (Tiësto Remix)
Note to self: add 10 favorite Tiesto remixes to possible lists for the future.
3. Fleetwood Mac – Dreams
Oh, thunder only happens when it’s raining… Such a great voice.
2. Prince – Purple Rain
So much emotion in this one, makes me almost want to cry.
1. Guns N’ Roses – November Rain (Tokyo 1992)
Justifiably number one position by public demand;) Love you babe!
