#HauteSounds: 10 Songs To Listen To On A Rainy Day!

With the rains making a reluctant entrance in the city, it’s time to bring out the tea leaves and old books. But it’s also time to plug in those earphones and lose yourself to the music. There is definitely extremely soothing about listening to good music on a rainy day. Imagine yourself sitting by the window listening to your favourite songs as the rain pours down and the wind softly hits your face. What a pretty picture that makes!

This week, we’ve gone ahead and compiled for you a list of our favourite songs. We think that these numbers make for an ideal monsoon listen. If you need something to pep you up on a gloomy morning, or if you just want to listen to a soft, soothing song, scroll on and add these to your playlist. From some old favourites to peppy new numbers, here’s our Rainy Day playlist.

 

1. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri

Christina Perri’s sultry and melodious number is the perfect song to set the mood while it rains. You can just close your eyes, listen to her beautiful voice and get transported to your happy place.

 

2. This Is What You Came For by Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna

Need something to pep you up? This house number has been topping the charts lately, and will have you getting off that couch and busting a few moves. The beats are guaranteed to cheer you up on a rainy day.

 

3. Come & Get It by Selena Gomez

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. Gomez’s soulful voice makes for an ideal song to listen to this season. It sure makes for a relaxing listen and I’m sure that you’ll be playing it on loop!

 

4. A Sky Full Of Stars by Coldplay

Ah, Coldplay! They always know what makes us happy. A Sky Full Of Stars is just the song you need to listen to, to get your vibe on. I love the fact that it starts off soft and gradually goes on to get zippy. This song is always at the top of my playlist!

 

5. Umbrella by Rihanna

Back to the classics, folks! If you don’t listen to Rihanna’s Umbrella while it’s raining outside, you’re missing out!

 

6. Let It Rain Over Me by Pitbull ft.Marc Anthony

And another! If you’re one of those who likes to venture outside when it rains, listen to this number and bop along with the beats. Besides, Pitbull’s songs can ALWAYS liven you up.

 

7. Cake By The Ocean by DNCE

Any fans of disco out there? Cake By The Ocean is a modern take on disco music, and will have you tapping your feet in no time. Both fresh and vibrant, this song is super groovy and a playlist essential on a drab, rainy evening. P.S. You could listen to this while munching on a slice of cake!

 

8. Riders On The Storm by The Doors

Fancy yourself a lazy listen? Doing nothing but sitting in your PJs, snug and warm while it rains outside? Then this track is for you. The drawling vocals and the soft music make for an ideal song to listen to during the monsoons.

 

9. Young And Beautiful by Lana Del Rey

Young And Beautiful is music at its best. Lana Del Rey’s powerful vocals and the beautifully played strings will resonate within you long after the song fades. I don’t know about you, but I always tune into this number on a rainy day.

 

10. Fast Car by Jonas Blue ft.Dakota

You knew this was coming, didn’t you? Jonas Blue has turned this golden song by Tracy Chapman into an amazing dance floor beat. Dakota’s vocals and the smooth bass and flute pieces make for a warm musical track to listen to on a cold rainy day.
