My first article: Five Songs to listen under the rain

Here in my zone is raining a lot, so I figure my first article should be about this. Rain and music are meant for each other for a particular style of music - usually Lo Fi, sad, ethereal and chill- at least, that's the general assumption of it. In reality, you can listen a lot of music styles while raining, and it all depends of the listener's current mood. Today i will show you five songs to listen under the rain depending of the mood you are having. I hope you enjoy it as i enjoy to write this articles. _________________________________________________ *Disclamer: This is not a top 5, this is just a take of my own taste in music, so maybe they are not the best songs ever, but they are great for me, and hopefully for you, too.* _________________________________________________ 1. Bruno Mars - Talking to the moon It's good for a change to listen Bruno Mars' soft side of music, which he can transmit directly to your heart and make you feel relaxed with rain as ambiance, this is perfect when you are in a chilled mood, and you need a bit of love in your life. It's just delicious to hear. https://youtu.be/fXw0jcYbqdo Lyrics: *"I know you're somewhere out there* *Somewhere far away* *I want you back* *I want you back* *My neighbors think I'm crazy* *But they don't understand* *You're all I had* *You're all I had* *At night when the stars light up my room* *I sit by myself* *Talking to the Moon* *Tryin to get to you* *In hopes you're on the other side* *Talking to me too* *Or am I a fool who sits alone* *Talking to the Moon?* *Oh, oh* *I'm feeling like I'm famous* *The talk of the town* *They say I've gone mad* *Yeah, I've gone mad* *But they don't know what I know* *'Cause when the Sun goes down* *Someone's talking back* *Yeah, they're talking back, oh* *At night when the stars light up my room* *I sit by myself* *Talking to the Moon* *Tryna get to you* *In hopes you're on the other side* *Talking to me too* *Or am I a fool who sits alone* *Talking to the Moon?* *Ah, ah, ah* *Do you ever hear me calling?* *Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh (ah, ah, ah)* *'Cause every night* *I'm talking to the Moon* *Still trying to get to you* *And hopes you're on the other side* *Talking to me too* *Or am I a fool who sits alone* *Talking to the Moon?* *Oh, oh* *I know you're somewhere out there* *Somewhere far away"* 2. Blind Guardian - A past and future secret This song lead you to your fireplace with some nice ale and to watch the raindrops fall, preparing yourself for a new adventure, right? That's why i love Blind Guardian, because besides this is a chill song, it makes you travel to the middle earth with their medieval-ish style. I really love them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvemFLdINTQ Lyrics: *"Oh, I haven't been here for a while* *In blindness and decay* *The circle's been closed, now* *My song of the end* *I've seen it all* *Listen crowd* *I'll tell you everything* *Though I have to say* *I don't know much* *Talking about a past* *And future secret* *Most called him once* *And future king* *Far back in the past* *I saw his ending* *Long before it started* *I knew his name* *He's the one who took the sword* *Out of the stone* *It's how the ancient tale began* *I hear it in the cold winds* *My song of the end* *I had seen it in my dreams* *My song of the end* *I can't stop the darkening clouds* *I feel cold* *When I cry out for the dark* *Take him back to Avalon* *Dwell on for a new age* *So long sleep well my friend* *Take him back to Avalon* *I will wait and guard* *The future king's crown* *My song of the end* *It was nice but now it's gone* *My song of the end* *It was fixed the whole time* *My song of the end* *I saw it all"* 3. Anneke Van Giersbergen & Agua de Annique - Wonder This song is beautiful, so as Anneke's angelical voice, if you need to relax and feel loved, this is definitely your song. There's no much to explain right here, just cut loose your train of thought and let her music carry you on her world. Beautiful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKLJolIZ6Pg Lyrics: *"Drove on by your house today* *I know it's hard to stay away* *It's allright, you pick a fight* *But my heart is on the tray* *Whatever you may think of me* *Your know that there'll never be* *Someone who loves you more than I do* *One day you will understand* *You had me in the palm of your hand* *And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder* *I took a breath, looked at your door* *The times that I've been here before* *Your smiling face, your warm embrace* *Those days are not here anymore* *Whatever you may think of me* *Your know that there'll never be* *Someone who loves you more than I do* *One day you will understand* *You had me in the palm of your hand* *And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder* *Drove on by, I don't know why* *It's so hard to stay away* *I kiss goodbye, a teary eye* *It's another lonely day"* 4. Portishead - All mine This song has a lot of things that may differ from a chill song, but it has a powerfull feeling when you listen to it in a nice rainy environment, it's quite strange and maybe a bit creepy, but i love it anyway, besides, Beth Gibbons voice is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vozNQX6Ye1A Lyrics: *"All the stars may shine bright* *All the clouds may be white* *But when you smile* *Oh how i feel so good* *That i can hardly wait* *To hold you* *Enfold you* *Never enough* *Render your heart to me* *All mine, you have to be* *From that cloud, number nine* *Danger starts the sharp incline* *And such sad regrets* *Oh as those starry skies* *As they swiftly fall* *Make no mistake, You shan't escape* *Tethered and tied* *There's nowhere to hide from me* *All mine, you have to be* *So don't resist* *We shall exist* *Until the day* *Until the day, i die* *All mine* *You have to be"* 5. Peter Hollens feat. Tim Foust - Misty Mountains cold Dude, the first time i've ever listen to this version from the movie "The Hobbit" being sang by these 2 awesome guys, my jaw couldn't get any lower, It dropped so hard it still hurts to this days. imagine listen this version in your fireplace with rain in the background. Mindblowing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yb2HR47npEU lyrics: *"Far over the Misty Mountains cold* *To dungeons deep and caverns old* *We must away, ere break of day* *To find our long forgotten gold* *The pines were roaring on the height* *The winds were moaning in the night* *The fire was red, it flaming spread;* *The trees like torches blazed with light* *The wind was on the withered heath* *But in the forest stirred no leaf:* *There shadows lay be night or day* *And dark things silent crept beneath* *(Aaaahh aaahh...)* *The wind went on from West to East;* *All movement in the forest ceased* *But shrill and harsh across the marsh* *Its whistling voices were released* *Farewell we call to hearth and hall!* *Though wind may blow and rain may fall* *We must away ere break of day* *Far o'er the wood and mountain tall"* Well, That's it for this article, i really hope you have enjoyed reading and listening to it.
