listen to the rhythm of the falling rain

as a kid, i liked this song. i don't know why. i don't think it's because of the words. it's quite sad really. i like how it starts with the sound of rain, i like the melody, i like how the chorus sounds like it has so much emotions. obviously, i didn't think of all this as a kid.

well, i don't associate the rain with sadness and melancholy, doom and gloom, unless of course, it comes with crazy lightning and thunder.

i think it's peaceful and a time of respite. of cleansing and refreshing.

i love playing soccer in the rain. not torrential rain when your boots are soaked with water and they are heavy you can't even run properly.

i quite enjoy walking in really light drizzle. i don't roam around randomly when it rains, but when it happens to rain and i'm outside, i do enjoy the rain hitting the top of my head.

i like sitting indoors and looking out the window and you see droplets of water roll down the window. a good book in hand, a hot chocolate beside and a doona over.

no, this is not some totally random post. it was raining.

do you like the rain?
