… Like the fingers of angels drawing life from the parched ground. 
Rain and music have always felt like a part of the same continuum to me, so maybe that’s why I have linked them so inextricably in my novel. Naturally, my fascination with rain led to a playlist, and to coincide with the wettest month of the year in the midwestern United States, I offer this one.
Lots of variety here, folk, rock, retro, alternative. It seems lots of songwriters share my affinity for stormy weather. Enjoy!

What’s your favorite song about precipitation?

No Rain (Blind Melon); and while it actually doesn’t mention weather in the song anywhere, Phil Collins’ ‘In the air tonight’ always puts me in mind of an approaching storm.
Those are great suggestions, and, you’re right, ‘In the Air Tonight’ would fit this list just perfectly!
It’s funny, how once the playlist is done, I always think of that last song or two that I should add. Right now, I’m considering ‘Like A Hurricane.’ I’m a little obsessive like that. 🙂
I’m glad you stopped by!
