Video playlist for Feb. 23, 2012 - Rain, Rain Go Away

Usually when it rains, the first thing I think of is staying home and finding something to do while letting Mother Nature have her fun.

Reading a book, watching something on the TV or playing some King of Colosseum II on the PlayStation 2 most likely will fill my day, but music will always blare in my room. It's one of the reasons why I love putting together playlists.

So in honor of the rain that hit my hometown the past two days, I put together, with the help of my friends, a playlist of songs with the word rain in the title. Granted, the rain turned into snow, so that could only mean a playlist involving snow will be just around the corner.

Enjoy these 21 songs involving rain and hopefully it will turn out to be the perfect soundtrack for one of your rainy days. And plenty of thanks go out to my friends who gave suggestions for songs to be included in this playlist.
