Rainy day songs: what makes music feel like rain

Some songs just sound like rain. Here is what they have in common, and a playlist for the next grey afternoon.

Slow, soft drums

Rain is steady but never loud. Songs with a gentle, brushed beat and plenty of space between hits feel the same way.

Grey chords

Minor and suspended chords that never quite resolve give a song a cloudy, waiting feeling. Bright major chords feel like the sun coming out.

Warm, a bit muffled

Lofi’s soft, slightly muffled sound is like hearing music through a wall or a window. That is why lofi and rain go so well together.

The rainy playlist

The Rainy vibe on this site is built from songs named after rain, fog and storms, plus the soft grey ones that sound like it. It starts quietly, lifts a little, and settles again.
