After listening to Brook Benton's "Rainy Night In Georgia," it occurred to me how often rain is romanticized in lyrics. St. Louis has had more than twice its normal average monthly rainfall this April, however, so, the lyrical appeal of rain is compromised. The lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation on "...Georgia" are excellent, but a lot of locals are probably in more of a Beatles, "Good Day Sunshine" mood--even those of us, like me, who generally prefer cloudy days to sunny ones.
