The poignant song speaks of the pain, suffering, and hopelessness that people face in their daily lives. It is a reflection on the harsh realities of life and a reminder to us all to be aware of the struggles of those around us." The opening verse sets the tone for the song with the lyrics, “Broken windows and empty hallways, a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey. Human kindness is overflowing and I think it’s going to rain today.” The song’s lyrics paint a picture of a world that is dark, gloomy, and full of despair. It is a world where hope is scarce, but kindness and empathy are abundant.The chorus of the song, “Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles, with frozen smiles to keep love away. Human kindness is overflowing, and I think it’s going to rain today,” further emphasizes the irony of life where one can put up a facade of happiness while feeling empty and alone inside.The second verse of the song talks about lost dreams and broken promises with the lyrics, “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.” “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today” is a testament to the fact that our struggles, as individuals, are universal and that we should empathize with those who are going through difficult times. The song calls for an understanding of the pain and suffering of others, and for us to act with kindness and compassion.Newman said in an interview with the BBC: “It’s a song about empathy; it’s a song about the fact that we all have pain, we all have sorrow, and it’s about recognizing that in other people and trying to do something about it.With its timeless message of empathy, “I Think It’s Going to Rain Today” has become an anthem for those who seek to help others. The song’s poignant lyrics have inspired countless musicians, activists, and everyday people to reach out and make a difference in the lives of those around them.The song has been covered by several artists over the years, most notably by Nina Simone, Bette Midler, and Dusty Springfield. Its universal message has resonated with people across different cultures and generations, making it a timeless classic and a reminder of the power of empathy."
