13. Schubert - Rain of Tears
Crying as the rain drizzles down the window pane is a common idea in pop music, but German Lieder composers also made use of the imagery, like Schubert does in his poignant love song: "Then my eyes filled with tears, And made the mirror ripple. She spoke: "The rain comes, farewell, I am going home."
