In anticipation of this coming week’s gloomy weather, as well as April showers that will soon arrive, I have put together a “rainy day” playlist for you all. These songs can be interpreted in a number of ways- some are sad and slow, some are funky R&B rhythms, and some are relaxing tunes that get you thinking or maybe they help you escape your thoughts. This playlist is whatever you want it to be! So open your blinds, wrap yourself in a blanket, and plug in your headphones to experience a rainy day the right way.
