Rain Comin' Down

One warm afternoon last summer, I was outside with my kids in our backyard, playing tag. It started to rain, and the air just felt like it was buzzing with excitement. We didn’t mind getting wet, in fact it felt cool and energizing! We alternately ran under the leafy branches of a tree for cover, and then ventured out to get wet. I made up the first part of this song while we were outside running, dancing, stomping and spinning in the rain -- and it’s one of my favorite memories with my kids! I later added the sections about thunder and lightning, for some fun body percussion opportunities, and to complete the “musical rainstorm” experience.

I hope you and your kids enjoy this song as much as me and my kids do!
