March 11_KV

Some tunes cheer us up in a jiffy, never failing to put that smile on every time we hear it.
Some tunes stick with us, no matter how many years pass by without having heard it a second time.
Some tunes immediately pop into our heads when we hear a specific word.

For me, today's song checks all the above boxes. Every single time i hear the word Rain or Raindrops. It has stayed with me from the moment I heard it first in the movie Forrest Gump. (How awesome this movie is, deserves a separate post altogether. So, I'm not getting myself started on it!)

"Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head" is B. J. Thomas's #1 song, written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach originally for the 1969 film "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". It won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Raindrops are falling on my head
And just like the guy whose feet
Are too big for his bed
Nothing seems to fit
Those raindrops are falling on my head
They keep falling.

So I just did me some
Talking to the sun
And I said I didn't like the way he got things done
Sleeping on the job
Those raindrops are falling on my head
They keep fallin'

But there's one thing I know
The blues they send to meet me
Won't defeat me,
It won't be long till happiness
Steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me 'cause,
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining,
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me

It won't be long till happiness
Steps up to greet me

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn't mean my eyes
Will soon be turning red
Crying's not for me. No.
I'm never gonna stop the rain by complaining,
Because I'm free
Nothing's worrying me
