Rain Rain Go Away (Aug. 18th-Oct. 7th, 2007)

Here is the scenario... each time I was driving in my car while it was RAINING. I randomly selected a cd to play on my car stereo. Many times I didn't even look what disc I grabbed to play. Three out of the four cds I had no prior knowledge to what songs were on the cd. Shortly after I began listening to the cd, a song about the RAIN began to play. That's right... a song about the RAIN while it was RAINING. Weird.

The first time it happened I thought nothing of it other than being just a neat coincidence. After the second and third time I was beginning to wonder what was going on. The chances of it happening that many times in a row seemed very unlikely. Quickly my neat little coincidence eerily went from being neat to just plain bizarre after the FOURTH time. For it to occur that frequently in such a relatively short period of time (a total of 50 days) seems nearly mathematically impossible.

Here are the four songs in order from top to bottom. I've included partial lyrics from each song.

Van Morrison - And It Stoned Me
And the rain keep pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of fishin' rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day

Rod Stewart - Have You Ever Seen The Rain?
Someone told me long ago There's a calm before the storm,
I know; It's been comin' for some time.
When it's over, so they say, It will rain a sunny day,
I know; Shinin' down like water.

CHORUS:
I Wanna know, Have you ever seen the rain?
I Wanna know, Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

Cyndi Lauper - Who Let In The Rain
And I wonder who let in the rain
You know without you
I'm not the same
When love gets strong
People get weak
Sometimes they lose control
And wind up in too deep
They fall like rain
Who let in the rain

Alonzo Stewart - I Get The Blues When It Rains
I get the blues when it rains the blues I can't lose when it rains
Each little drop that falls on my window pane
Always reminds me of tears I've shed in vain
I sit and wait for the sun to shine down on me once again
It rained when I found you rained when I lost you
That's why I get the blues when it rains
