BLAME IT ON THE RAIN
I love listening to the rain. Like many parts of the country right now, New York has recently been blanketed with water falling fromt the sky. Yesterday I walked one block in full rain gear and was already soaking wet, that’s how crazy it is here. But there’s something aurally beautiful about the sounds water makes in stormy times.
I awoke yesterday morning to the sound of rain pounding against my window. In the hallway outside my apartment, it was pummeling the skylight at the top of the stairs. Outside, it blanketed my umbrella (and unfortunately a lot more).
The sounds of rain are awesome; they’re like a thousand drummers in a gigantic polyrhythmic drum circle. The randomness of the rhythmic patterns creates so many layers of detail that it’s entirely engrossing if you actually pay attention.
Wherever you are, if you’re affected by the storms right now, I encourage you to listen.
