What's your favorite song to listen to in the rain?

While not necessarily a song I love to listen to when it's raining, it's a song that quickly comes to mind when I think about it raining. Mandolin Rain by Bruce Hornsby & The Range. Such an amazing, underrated band and such an amazing song.

[Verse 1]
The song came and went
Like the times that we spent
Hiding out from the rain under the carnival tent
I laughed and she'd smile
It would last for awhile
You don't know what you've got till you lose it all again

[Chorus]
Listen to the mandolin rain
Listen to the music on the lake
Ah, listen to my heart break every time she runs away
Oh, listen to the banjo wind
A sad song drifting low
Listen to the tears roll
Down my face as she turns to go

[Verse 2]
A cool evening dance
Listenin' to the bluegrass band takes the chill
From the air, until they play the last song
I'll do my time
Oh, keeping you off my mind, but there's moments
That I find, I'm not feelin' so strong
