Chuck that pot

Take a classic Doors song.Take the sound of monsoon rain. You have before you a very potent mix. Now, play both, sit back and relax. Of course, speakers make a world of difference.

When I learnt about this website which had a very simple offering: that of the sound of 'gentle rain', I was curious to experiment it with some of my favorite songs and somehow the first song that came to mind was the Doors' classic-Riders on the storm. The original actually begins with the sound of the storm and probably that's why.

It didn't stop with that. I went ahead, a change of genre this time, a husky voiced cat power song and I was excited. The combination of rainy weather and some good music can really do wonders as the rainymood website suggests.

Well then, if you ve had a rough week, a bad fight or something of that sort, this is therapy. Actually, its better with a calm mind.

Here is my 30-minute playlist (Link here):
1. Riders on the storm- The Doors
2. Love and Communication- Cat Power
3. Nutshell- Alice in Chains
4. Long gone day- Mad Season
5*. If you were my guitar - Soulmate (goes out to Ra and CJ)
6. Come here - Kath Bloom
7. Space Oddity - David Bowie

Enjoy! Time to make your own playlist.
