Rain rain go away! Come again another day! In this Episode, I take a close look at how the dreaded rain also provides us with such beautiful, creative output..while at a fundamental level rains is essential to sustain human life..so let’s explore the magic, mystery, wonder & awe of this divisive phenomena. I choose 10 emotive songs that powerfully express deep sadness, loss, romance, joy & total exasperation at the pitter patter of raindrops we’ve come to simultaneously love & hate
