Music on Mondays – Here Comes the Flood

I’m moving up some of my mix exchanges. I wasn’t due until March for this one and May for next week’s, but I need to get them done right now or I won’t be able to honor the commitments I made to the groups. So you’ll be getting 2 mix exchanges in a row.

This week’s is another theme mix. This is the second theme I did, with the last one being the Road Trip USA mix. This time I opted for Rain. A few people have already done similar mixes, one with Water, one was Rain or Shine, and another was about Weather in general. I feared flooding some people out, but honestly, when the whole theme thing came up, Rain was the first thing I thought of because I pretty much already had this mix made, at least in my head. It came about not on a rainy day weatherwise, but a rainy day for me, emotionally. I’m feeling like that again as I continue through this growth period (I’ll write more about that later). Here’s the mix:

1. I Think It’s Going to Rain Today – Bette Midler
2. Feels Like Rain – John Hiatt
3. A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall – Edie Brickell & New Bohemians
4. Rain – Patty Griffin (the song that started this whole mix!)
5. Raindrops – Regina Spektor
6. Rain Come Down – Eastmountainsouth
7. Downpour – Brandi Carlile
8. Let Her Feel the Rain – Tara MacLean
9. London Rain (Nothing Heals Me Like You Do) – Heather Nova
10. Only Happy When It Rains – Garbage
11. Come Rain or Come Shine – Etta James
12. Purple Rain – Prince
13. November Rain – Guns N Roses
14. It Can’t Rain All the Time – Jane Siberry
15. Last Rain – Tanya Donnelly
16. Bursting Through – Bic Runga

For me, it’s a perfect rainy day mix, no matter if it’s rainy outside or I’ve just turned on the waterworks. Enjoy!
