Out the window You can watch the mountains In a fast retreat And I can see another thing That's coming between you and me Everything was going wrong It was falling From a passing storm Oh, I wish that I could say That it's never gonna rain no more Stay gone, stay gone, stay Tyler Ramsey [shades of pale grey]

Finally, I can hear the world Inside of me And I am not afraid I'm not waiting for tomorrow Just to turn around And watch it fade Yesterday, the sea was raging I felt so ragged, tired, like I was aging But all I really needed was this emptiness All I really needed was this loneliness In this rainy season Gaby Moreno [white font on teal background that fades to light purple near the bottom]

The heavy rain poured down The sky electric with the boom and rumble And, in nerves, I counted silently Between the sight and the sound Ooh, and in the black of night I wouldn't be taken aback If the water came up And swept us out to sea Ooh, and in the black of night I wouldn't be taken aback If the sun gave up And never brought the day Alela Diane [white font on shades of midnight blue]

I get along without you very well Of course, I do Except when soft rains fall And drip from leaves, then I recall The thrill of being sheltered in your arms Of course, I do But I get along without you very well I've forgotten you, just like I should Of course, I have Except to hear your name Or someone's laugh that is the same I've forgotten you, just like I should By Hoagy Carmichael Performed by Hohnen Ford [brown font on beige background]

Buckets of rain Buckets of tears Got all them buckets comin' out of my ears Buckets of moonbeams in my hand You got all the love Honey, baby, I can stand I been meek And hard like an oak I've seen pretty people disappear like smoke Friends will arrive, friends will disappear If you want me Honey, baby, I'll be here Bob Dylan [white font on royal blue with slight iridescence]

Sun burned hot, it burned my eyes Burned so hot, I thought I'd died Thought I'd died and gone to hell Looking for the water from a deeper well I went to the river, but the river was dry I fell to my knees and I looked to the sky Looked to the sky and the spring rain fell I saw the water from a deeper well Emmylou Harris [slight blue through very cloudy beige sky]

Here's a case study of A standard issue heartbreak Broken trust, aching love Pack it in a suitcase With all of my panic and carry Me across the Atlantic like Emmylou, "Just to fly" They want love songs, baby, I Don't know how to be happy With or without him Some other shade of grey So I don't sing about sunshine All I write about is rain Grace Pettis [mix of beige and teal]

In martial wind, and in clarion rain We minced into battle, wincing in pain Not meant for walking Backs bound in twine: Not angel or devil But level, in time And I rose, to take my shape at last From the dreams that had dogged me Through every past When, to my soul, the body would say "You may do what you like As long as you stay" Joanna Newsom [brown font on beige background]

A storm come on in the rosy dawn I was sitting on the front porch watching A pale rain, the wind got blades My mind went a lot of ways Forget-me-nots, Niagara Falls Never have my ringer on Even if you called, how am I to respond? Been avoiding it so long You erase the details And I'm history No matter how clear I keep the memories You rewrite them So you can sleep Amanda Shires [slight blue through very cloudy pink sky]

I'll also say Happy Autism Acceptance & Awareness Day! ❤️ Since this page is brought to you by the autistic tendency to love lining things up in a row 🚂Choosing the order of the songs is my favourite part, and I hope some of you get a bit of the same satisfaction out of the through lines as I do 😊

Our conversation was short and sweet It nearly swept me off-a my feet And I'm back in the rain And you are on dry land You made it there somehow You're a big girl now Bird on the horizon, sittin' on a fence He's singin' his song for me at his own expense And I'm just like that bird Singin' just for you I hope that you can hear Hear me singin' through these tears Bob Dylan [navy font on pale blue background]
