Rain As Music
It was raining the other day, and I was looking for something on youtube, a video or sound record of the sound of the falling rain. I actually had an idea to try it myself, but I have found some very nice ones. People seem to find the sound of rain or flowing water tranquilizing and meditative. This is an interesting contrast to the fact that rainy whether is often referred to as depressive. Should I mention here Tarr movies, which are sometimes noted for their "depiction of hopelessness"? I think actually one thing that helps one to immerse in these movies is the constant fall of rain, which somehow puts you at ease, regardless of what other topics may come up. But then again, think of Gene Kelly Singing In The Rain for another association with rain... Rain is a nice thing. I used to enjoy walking around when it rained. It is just something that makes you wonder...
