This is a song chain, based around the combination of sun and rainy weather we’re experiencing at the moment. A “song chain”? Sure. It goes like this: start with a two-word theme (here it’s sun to rain) and try to get from one to the other by connecting a sequence of songs where the last word from one song title is the first word in the next. Check out the list of songs below, you’ll get the idea.
