Sometimes you wake up and the sky is crying
The sun is hiding and everything feels muffled under a steadfast beat of rain.
It's the kind of day that makes you want to cuddle up with a hot drink and crack open a good book or binge-watch your favourite show.
Here are 3 of my favourite rainy day songs that fit just right
'The Sky is Crying' by Gary Moore is a cover of a blues classic originally written and recorded by Elmore James.
This version, however, is a soulful and emotional rendition that captures the melancholy and longing of a rainy day.
The slow, bluesy guitar riffs and Moore's heartfelt vocals make it a perfect soundtrack for a gloomy day.

'Purple Rain' by Prince is a classic rock ballad that has become an anthem for rainy days.
The song's haunting melody and Prince's soulful vocals create a sense of longing and introspection that is perfect for a rainy day.
The iconic guitar solo towards the end of the song is a powerful moment that captures the intensity of emotions that can come with a stormy day.

'Rainy Night in Georgia' by Randy Crawford is a soulful ballad that perfectly captures the mood of a rainy night.
The song's slow tempo and Crawford's smooth vocals create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that is perfect for a rainy day.
The lyrics tell the story of a lonely night in Georgia, where the rain is falling and the heart is aching.
