We were in a pavilion and out of the weather but the band had no rain or heat or humidity songs.... So I thought it would be good if they could come up with a song that addressed the condition of the audience and their suffering. Anyone got a song for Rain Heat Humidity Always good to be able to shift gears to empathise with the audience. Conrad |

Unfortunately, only the first verse is about miserable weather: "The rain wis fa'en doon sae hard the drains were overflowin' Ye'd almost think the Flood was comin' on So they huddled in a corner tryin' tae keep oot a' the water And he told her a' the things he had in mind" T. |

A bit more trad, there's Deep River Blues. Misty Moist Morning would seem to fit in, and there's always my fovourite little verse from the Beggar's Opera: "Were I sold om India's soil Soon as burning day was closed I could mock the sultry toil, When on my lover's breast reposed.." |

I hope my memory does not misgive! |

03 Aug 04 - 01:30 PM (#1239576) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs for rain,humidity,heat From: Tracker It would need to be song that would go out of tune in about 3 minutes (as my harp does in hot, humid weather). It's awful to be in the middle of Rakes of Mallow and suddenly find the f# is now closer to f natural. Irish/Scottish music doesn't deal a lot with heat and humidity, but you'd think there would be more songs with the word "rain" featured prominently. How about Mountain Dew, Foggy Dew, or A Walk in the Irish Rain. |
