I’m listening to the rain; I mean the mandolin, purple, and the November variety. Obsessed about songs about rain? Nah, just wishful thinking(nah, probably both).

The Best Songs about Girls: 1. Josh Ritter Kathleen
The first time I saw the movie, Say Anything, I knew I wanted to be like Lloyd Dobler. I wanted to be the kind of guy that put his heart on the line; I wanted to be that guy on the lawn of the girl he couldn’t be without. Lloyd wasn’t afraid of getting hurt, he welcomed it. To him, it was very clear, to love and have lost was better than to have never loved.
This song reminds me of Lloyd; it’s the kind of romantic story he would tell. I want to be that guy that drives Kathleen home. Among all the girls at the party, Kathleen stands out. She’s like nothing you’ve ever seen.
“All the other girls here are stars—you are the Northern Light.”
That’s the perfect song lyric to describe The girl. The kind that any guy would count his lucky stars to drive home.
