I fell in love with Brad Mehldau's "When It Rains," the moment I first heard it a few years back from the movie, "The Lakehouse." The song has a comfortingly honest tune. It evokes images of a couple sharing an umbrella, taking shelter from an unexpected downpour.
I sometimes find the lyrics of a song distracting, especially when I'm writing something. The words that you write come from within. Sometimes, inaudible silence provides fertile ground for creativity. This song is one of my favorites.
