Friday I linked to the Youth Group song, "Start The Day Tomorrow." When I looked out the window this morning the first lines of that song came to mind:
The summer rain is falling like its never going to stop, it's been ages. Puddles form on city corners, businessmen they leap between the edges. Umbrellas take up battle spots but nature's fury always proves much stronger. I've been sitting in my room wondering if I'm going to last much longer
The forecast tells me that there is at least four more days of rain ahead. I am sick of rain. I am weary of dodging puddles and streams flowing down the street. I'm tired of carrying an umbrella. I want a rainbow to tell me that this too will pass.
In my radio days, I would humor myself and hopefully my listeners by playing rain based songs. So in that spirit, I made an iMix, I like to call, "Rain Rain, Go Away." Give it a click and a listen.
If it does not stop soon, the only joy I could get out of this rain is if it turned purple. Purple rain, purple rain, I only want 2 see u , I only want 2 see u in the purple rain.
As a distraction from packing, I created an iMix for this big trip I'm about to embark on. The ironic thing is that I am not taking my iPod. The only entertainment I have with me is a deck of cards and a copy of The Idiot by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. I guess these twoguys will also provide entertainment for the first two weeks.
But if I had my iPod, these are some of the tunes I might enjoy on this trip: 1. The Wanderer - U2 with Johnny Cash 2. Crazy Train - Ozzy Osbourne 3. The Great Wall of China - Billy Joel 4. Train In The Distance - Paul Simon 5. China - Randy Stonehill 6. Russians - Sting 7. That Train Don't Stop Here - Los Lobos 8. Stranger In Moscow - Michael Jackson 9. Another Travelin' Song - Bright Eyes 10. Lost In Germany - King's X 11. Fly Away - Lenny Kravitz 12. Istanbul (Not Constantinople) - They Might Be Giants 13. Eastern European Girls - Letters Lost 14. Turkish Delight - David Crowder Band 15. Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego? - Rockapella 16. What Susan Said - Rich Mullins
