Just Singin' in the Rain!

By
Real Estate Agent with The Artisan Group- Keller Williams Premier Realty

 All this talk about Active Rain - all the references to rain ... I felt the need to develop a list of "Rain Songs" - There are SO MANY, I know. So these are titles that could actually apply to AR Memebers ... Here we go!

  • All I Needed Was the Rain - (Elvis) You had a crazy day, and want to know that you are not alone in the coo-coo world of Real Estate. Now you feel better...
  • I Love the Rainy Nights - (Jimmy Buffet) You're done with your day, and get to engage in several comment-versations with your favorite Rainers.
  • Here Comes the Rain Again - (The Eurythmics) "The" topic. The "hot" topic. 50 blogs about the same thing.
  • Blame it on the Rain - (Milli Vanilli) "Dinner? What dinner? I thought you were taking care of that..." ((shh. I don't know what you're talking about...))
  • The Day it Rained Forever - (The Eurythmics) Your comments are strewn throughout the entire day ... Every moment you are near a computer, you gotta check the dashboard.
  • Fool in the Rain - (Led Zepplin) Ok. No need to expound on this one...
  • A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall - (Bob Dylan, et al.) You read a blog and *cringe* because you know that all the opinionated Rainers (oh, wait, that's ALL of us...) will have their say via comments about this one. Game on!
  •  I'm Only Happy When it Rains - (Garbage) Now, these people need help...
  • It's Rainin' Men! - (The Weather Girls or RuPaul) The blog dashboard is dominated by Broker Bryant, Jeff Belonger, Angus Woodbury, Rich Jacobson, Caleb Mardini ... etc.
  • Laughter in the Rain - (Neil Sedaka) Take a few minutes and stalk TLW around AR ...
  • Listen to the Rain - (Stevie Nicks) 1. Reading a bunch of blogs, but leaving no comments. 2. Following the advice you find on an AR blog.
  • November Rain - (Guns 'n Roses) This would be the Carnival that incorporates November posts.
  • Midnight Rain - (Poco) C'mon! Go to bed already! (Or your spouse may take a picture of you asleep on your keyboard...)
  • Naked in the Rain - (Red Hot Chili Peppers) 1. Commenting/ blogging on something that you do not know much about. 2. Doing something w/o designations. 3. No, I really do not care what you wear (or dont wear) while you are blogging...
  • People are Strange - (The Doors) I know ... but there is a great "rain" line in the song. Again... No need to expound on this one.
  • Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - (Burt Bacharach) Everytime you check back ... someone made another comment on your blog!

Alright. There you have it. Which one is stuck in your head, now?

Rainy nights in Georgia

Here comes that rainy day feeling again.

Crying in the Rain.

Walking in the Rain.

RainDrops keep falling on my head.

Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Don't Rain on my parade.

Ain't gonna rain no more,no more.

Come Rain or Come Shine.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow.

Pennies From Heaven.

Mariana, I am not happy you did this to me at this hour!

"oh! Look! A Butterfly! aka Mariana"

I LOVE THIS. LAUGHTER IN A POST! CAN'T BEAT THAT...:0)

HERE ARE THE LYRICS. GOOD SONG CHOICE BY THE WAY!

Neil Sedaka Lyrics

Laughter In The Rain Lyrics

Strolling along country roads with my baby
It starts to rain, it begins to pour
Without an umbrella we're soaked to the skin
I feel a shiver run up my spine
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

Ooooo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooooo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

After a while we run under a tree
I turn to her and she kisses me
There with the beat of the rain on the leaves
Softly she breathes and I close my eyes
Sharing our love under stormy skies

Ooooo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooooo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
I feel the warmth of her hand in mine

[Musical Interlude] (IMAGING ME SINGING ON THIS PART) la, la , la

I feel the warmth of her hand in mine
Ooooo, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooooo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside
Ooooh, I hear laughter in the rain
Walking hand in hand with the one I love
Ooooo, how I love the rainy days
And the happy way I feel inside

P.S. I will be back with one just for you...Flap/ROAR!

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...A Roaring Butterfly...ROAR!

Now to come up with a list of songs with the word "Active" in the title or the lyrics.  I think that will be a little more challenging! In fact, I can't think of one to start the list.  Can you?

Oh, no Suzanne! Thank you for making my mind run on overtime!! :) Music is my *favorite* "thing" on the planet ... So, here you go:

Albums~ Retro Active-Def Leppard, Active Vapor Recovery-Scot Ray Quintet

Songs~ Active Beauty (Tetsu Inoue), Active Imagination (Isadar??), Active Noise (...jazz, don't remember artist), Active Speakers (Power Steppers).

That's about all I could muster up (and none of these are too popular, anyway) ... Not as exciting as the "Rain" songs, though.

That is awesome Mariana - that must have taken you some time!!  There's a great song in Spanish called "Lluvia"...I wonder if there is an "acid rain" song to dedicate to Rick.

"oh! Look!...a Butterfly! aka Mariana"

It took me most of the day, but, I finally found a song just for you...

"Butterfly"

You could flap your wings a thousand miles away
Butterfly
A laughing salesman sings
His world so far away
Butterfly

Butterfly
Butterfly

You could take the storm away forever every day
Cause you're mine
And I don't know what to say
You could let my smile disappear for a year
Cause you're mine
That's the only way I like it to be

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly

You could flap your wings a thousand miles away
I'd still feel the pain
I'd still feel the pain
You could flap those eyes a thousand miles away
I'd still feel the way
I'd still feel the way

Butterfly
Butterfly

Here she comes now
Here she comes now
Here it comes now
Here she comes now
Here it comes now...
When we get to the best part
It happens all the time
You tell me all your lies
You tell me all your lies
You get your kicks from seeing me on the floor
Tied to your bed
Tied to the things you said
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back
Butterfly is coming back

Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly
Butterfly...

<I wish I could figure out who did, but it doesn't say. I just found the lyrics! :))>

TLW "The Lovely Wife"...Hope You Like It...ROAR!

Rainin' men?

Let's not forget what Robert Plant thought was his best vocal performance for Led Zepplin:

The Rain Song

Which aside from all the mushy stuff.. contains the lyrics

"upon us all a little rain must fall"
