Songs on Saturday ~ Annie Lennox
walking through rainstorms to be with the one you love
Summer in England 2020; doom, gloom, and rain. Would I walk five-thousand-miles through pouring rain and high winds to be on a lonely island with the one I love? Hell Yes! The one you love should be your precious angel and worth everything ~ else it isn’t really love at all.
Back in the day I learned a harsh lesson ~ you can’t beat City Hall. Right now there are some things I can’t do, and some things The Man is making me do that I’d rather not.
Some say we should always be the best person we can possibly be. And that the one you care for deserves the best of you, no matter what.
All I know is that I’ll make the best of things, and right now that means staying fit, strong, and healthy. In a few days I’m heading away from cold and rain to warmer and sunnier climes. Walking, swimming, yoga, Aegean sunshine, fresh mountain air, healthy food….. For a while I’ll be spending time working on becoming a physically better man.

beachcombing at dawn
how to learn who you really are
Rain On Me
into every life a little rain must fall
Maybe I’ve been spreading things a little thin lately, because I seem to be living in a thunderstorm. Maybe this track by The Who says it.
And yet, I know that I am loved, and that there are some people I care for.
Please listen without getting wet.

only a fool goes out in the rain
maybe I’m a fool
Rain
and then the rain clouds came crashing into my life
~
well past midnight again
in a bar dismal and alone
looking out on hard rain
I’m feeling like hell in here
sadness, sorrow, and pain
she was ever the only one
can’t be scared of the dark
it’s pulling my heart apart
losing a girl you love hurts
let it rain on me, let it rain

some people enjoy the rain
others merely get wet
It’s Raining Cats and Dogs
Right now we’re having a vicious thunderstorm where I live, and it’s absolutely hissing down ~ raining cats and dogs.
without the rain there can be no life

and without the rain
there can be no rainbows
Songs on Saturday ~ Rain
some people feel the rain, others just get wet
England, this green and pleasant land, where it rains a lot.
Different from the parts of America, where it’s dusty and hot.
Clouds came floating unbidden into my life, not to carry the life-giving rain, but to hide the beautiful rainbow of love.
Please listen responsibly.

singing in the rain is not my thing
I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket
Rain in England
Rain, rain go away, come again another day.
Right now, where I live, it’s raining cats and dogs. That’s a bit of a shame because it means I’m going to be stuck in the garret until it eases off a bit. Going out in the rain and cold is one reason lots of us English people seem to have coughs and colds a lot of the time.
It’s going to rain for most of the day here, and in fact it’s raining over most of the UK. Our Met. Office have flood warnings posted for several coastal towns ~ luckily not right here.
A lot of Americans think that it rains all the time here in England. As a matter of fact, in comparison with some places in the world, we don’t get that much rain. On average, where I live we get about a couple of feet of rain in a year. In comparison, supposedly sunny Hawaii has an average of 5 feet of rainfall in a year. Perhaps Hawaii is not ever going to be right at the top of my bucket list.
Some say that it rains every day in England. And that we English must love the rain. All I know is that we do get a little sunshine, usually in the middle of July.
