"I Think It's Going To Rain Today"

Randy Newman

Many people have speculated about the meaning of the lyrics in this song.
What do you think?



Broken windows and empty hallways
A pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
With frozen smiles to chase love away
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Lonely, lonely
Tin can at my feet
Think I'll kick it down the street
That's the way to treat a friend

Bright before me the signs implore me
To help the needy and show them the way
Human kindness is overflowing
And I think it's going to rain today

Love Randy Newman. Nice use of trees for framing for your cloudy sky photo!

Beautiful storm clouds. Can you send some rain our way?

My interpretation? It's about someone who is down on their luck and finding that while society says that they will help, no one does.

I guess he felt lonely and abandoned by somebody close
great image illustrating a depression

I think there are days of depressive mood, when everything and everyone seems to be ugly. It´s ok as long as you can sing and laugh about it the next day. That´s what I feel here. Randy Newman is great and it´s a simple shot that fits perfectly. v
