Rainy days are technically shitty — particularly the cold spring ones, when the weather seems to be doing nothing more than holding out — like a wide receiver who knows his team needs him, but toys with the organization just because he can.

But the cold and rainy spring day, in addition to providing a default conversational topic, also provides a great opportunity to sit around all day, order dumplings, and play a bunch of music that you wouldn’t totally be able to get away with normally. You get to be a little bit more contemplative, in a “I don’t mind that song Happy, but…c’mon.” sort of way. With that in mind, here’s a playlist designed to capture the rainy day spirit:

1. Spin Me Around – Patent Pending

2. Picture – Kid Rock ft. Sheryl Crow

3. Woke Up This Morning – Alabama 3

4. Fiction – The xx

5. Dead Man Walking – Jon Bellion

6. I Tried – Bone Thugs N Harmony ft. Akon

7. Everything Is Alright – Motion City Soundtrack

8. New Slang – The Shins

9. Hold On, We’re Going Home – Christina Grimmie
