The clouds are gray, and there’s a slight chill in the air. Walking to class with my earbuds in, the bass vibrates throughout my body and brings the day to life; the smell of wet pavement acting as the perfect assistant for this experience. Today, my go-to songs melt away, giving way to a new artistic taste entirely — my rainy day music. 

With the tip of my nose frosty and cheeks rosy, I need songs that envelop me in the same kind of comfort as a warm drink does to one’s hands. Here is a list of songs that bring such comfort with a hint of cold sadness and a hint of warm renewal, transporting one to another dimension. Listen to these songs, stare at the overcast sky and take a deep breath, staying in the rain for just a little while longer.
