Sam Gazdziak of Engine 145 gave the song a "thumbs up". He did not think that the song had "anything here to distinguish it as a country song" and thought that the song "does fall victim to the bombast", but praised Nail's voice and the details in the lyrics.[4] Bobby Peacock of Roughstock rated it three-and-a-half stars out of five, also saying that the lyrics had "interesting details" and describing Nail as "strong [and] soulful", although he thought that the song's hook did not work because "there's no other 'rain' motif anywhere else".[5]
Almost every anti-colonial struggle this century has been led by an army of guerrillas. No such struggle has succeeded without a very high degree of cooperation between guerrillas and the local peasantry. But what does "cooperation" between peasants and guerrillas really consist of? What effect does it have on the way they view the world for which they fight?
In the struggle for Zimbabwe (1966-80), hundreds of thousands of peasants provided the guerrillas with practical help and support. But they went a good deal further. Throughout the country scores of spirit mediums, the religious leaders of Shona, gave active support to resistance. With their participation, the scale of the war expanded into an astonishing act of collaboration between ancestors and their descendants, the past and the present, the living and the dead.
This book is a detailed study of one key "operational zone" in the Zambezi valley. It shows that to understand the meaning the war and independence have for the people of Zimbabwe themselves, we must take into account not only the nationalist guerrillas and politicians, the bearers of guns, but also the mediums of the spirits of the Shona royal ancestors, the bringers of rain.
There are 64 different terms for rain in the Georgian language. Artist David Horvitz worked with Tbilisi-based curator Elene Abashidze to collect these words. The result is a glossary that describes the subtle differences in how water can fall from the sky. The wealth of expressions for a single natural phenomenon also makes visible what we stand to lose from the effects of the climate crisis, when the variety of expressions for rain no longer apply.
The work was created on the occasion of the exhibition "The Palace of Concrete Poetry" at the Writers' House of Georgia in Tbilisi (September 9 - October 9, 2022). The artist's book "ვიმა Rain" contains the entire glossary and is published by Edition Taube in an edition of 1000 unique copies, and a special edition printed with Georgian rainwater.
We all take consolation from different things, and without wanting to be overly morbid, I would like to think that after I die, my loved ones could take consolation from the sense that I was quite literally all around them, in the air, water and earth as part of the natural cycle of things. There are numerous poems on this theme, including the famous "Do Not Stand At My Grave And Weep" by Mary Elizabeth Frye in which, rather than being dead, the deceased speaks directly to us: "I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. " Clearly I am not alone in my way of thinking there is something very moving about the idea that you can reconnect with someone you've lost simply by looking at nature.
Perhaps an inevitable topic for an Englishman, the focus in this piece is rain. Taking Debussy's method of portraying the sea in La Mer as something of a model, the piece is primarily an abstract musical construction, but one that constantly and variously evokes different aural images of rain, whether it be rippling, glistening, dripping, rumbling, swooshing or showering gathering pace or subsiding distantly echoing or vigorously present. But throughout, the impression is of rain not as dark and depressing, but as something positive, consoling, life-affirming and renewing - the 'gentle autumn rain' mentioned in the Frye poem.
I suspect - as is often the case in my work this focus emerged out of the instrumentation particularly the combination of harp and marimba which has a lot of potential 'water' in its sound. The focus on quietness in this piece may also relate to the fact that I knew I was writing for the wonderful oboist Nicholas Daniel. Just as I was beginning to write the piece I went to watch Nick perform, and one of the things that struck me in particular was his breathtakingly beautiful pianissimos. I've always felt that one of the tell-tale signs of a great performer is someone who knows how to use the very quietest tones their instruments can produce, to captivate a room and make everyone collectively hold their breath at the delicacy and fragility of the sound. These are often the moments when music really does offer a sense of transcendence.
Alongside Nick it has been a delight to know I'm writing for the fantastic players of Camerata Pacifica, and to know I can throw anything at them; and in particular to reconnect with Bridget Kibbey who has fearlessly tackled many of my fiendishly difficult harp parts in the past without batting an eye.
The Consolation of Rain is in five short movements, each in a way, a kind of 'song without words'. It lasts about 20 minutes in total.
Description: In the midst of the rain, rainbows can be hard to see.
But with courage and the help of good friends, there is always a way out of the darkness.
A beautiful book with eloquent and irrepressible hope at its heart.

We started talking about [the phrase] "let it rain," and a scene in the Zach Braff movie The Last Kiss: Zach's engaged and meets this young girl, they had their moment, and [then he has] mental anguish. He tells [his pregnant fiancée] about it.

After a sunny week, rain came on Saturday morning. Some parents and students were asking the night before, will the event still take place? Our chapter president is a former Marine and the mentoring committee chairman spent 20 years in the Army, so I knew the answer. As a founding member of the chapter, I was asked to share a word with the assembled group. I did so just as the rains had subsided and folks were taking off their ponchos.
But the former Indy Leaguer turned Rookie of the Year-contender saved his best for when the Arizona Diamondbacks were waiting out a rain delay on Tuesday night. Because that's when he showed off the booty.
While SeaWinds was designed to measure ocean winds, it can also measure rain over the ocean. SeaWinds on QuikSCAT active measurements of integrated columnar rain rate obtained via simultaneous wind/rain retrieval are evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation and the Cramer-Rao lower bound on estimate accuracy. Although sufficiently accurate in many conditions, the simultaneous wind/rain retrieval method used with SeaWinds on QuikSCAT data is ill-conditioned for certain wind directions and measurement geometries, sometimes yielding spurious rain rates in zero-rain conditions. To assess the validity of SeaWinds-derived rain rates, a simple empirically based rain thresholding scheme is presented, derived from simulated data. Thresholded QuikSCAT rain rates are compared to Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Microwave Imager monthly-averaged data, demonstrating good correlation for monthly-averaged data.
Siegel: So before we get to the frost in the winter and all, Dave, let's start with what's happening this weekend ahead of the Charles. Thousands of people will be lined along the banks of the Charles River to watch the annual event. What can we expect for this weekend? Are people out watching the boats going to get rained on?
Epstein: Yeah, definitely. Friday starts with the senior events and it goes all the way through until Sunday when you have the finals, and you have a lot of colleges around over the weekend, especially, with their tents and everything else. Friday, there'll be some showers starting to develop in the afternoon. There won't be much wind. It'll be generally in the 60s, so fairly comfortable, but folks may get a little bit wet, who are just watching the regatta at that point. On Saturday, pretty good chance of showers in the morning. There may be a little bit of a gap in showers for a few hours, late morning into early afternoon before more showers arrive. I'm not sure about that gap. I would just plan on the fact that it's probably going to be showery the entire day, but you might be able to sort of fold up the umbrella for a little bit there on Saturday. So that's that issue. Temperatures in the 60s. Then Sunday, there might be a couple of showers in the morning. But the bigger issue on Sunday is the wind. And the wind for the rowers is actually a bigger issue than the rain itself. I mean, they don't want to get wet. But it's going to be windy out of the northwest. So the Charles will become quite choppy, especially in the afternoon, with those gusty northwesterly winds.
