I just gave the whole playlist a listen. To me, Petrichor by Brambles comes the closest to remind me of “rainy smells”. Most of the songs that are guitar-heavy or have lyrics completely ruin the sensation (not saying the songs are bad bc of that reason).
some context: I can pretty much always smell rain when I hear rain, so music that contains actual rain will come the closest to triggering the same sensation. However, sounds that mimic the bliss and murkiness of a rainy afternoon also has the same effect - e.g. bells, piano, roomy reverb, “pitter patter” percussion etc.
Oh, cool - thank you so much for your thoughts and experiences! I just gave that one a listen: I didn’t smell anything, not I got some interesting mental visuals and sensations: being in a tent in the rain, someone spinning/dancing very briefly, rain falling into puddles, a drop falling into a puddle and the slow-motion of spin-off drops arcing away. It was definitely less immersive once the vocals kicked it, but it was cool nonetheless. Thank you so much for getting back to us!
