The current theme [pour] came came to mind from a number of places: a theme that hasn't been done before... a theme that is somehow current ... a theme that might spark the disparate contributors and therefore interest the audience. Actually, it was raining cats and dogs as the theme idea was in gestation. Buckets. But at the the same time, it occured to us that there are a number of things that pour: liquids .... yes; ... some solids as well (marbles and beads pour well), but also emotions. Emotions, as in what a vocalist or a piano player puts into his/her performance: they pour out their hearts, and it is that which makes one performance different or better than another. It is songs where the artist pours out his/her heart that draw us in and that we love.
There is no small list of songs that include "pour" either in the title or the lyrics: poring rain, pouring out my heart, pouring liquid or other.
Of course, as a child, you likely learned: It's raining, it's pouring ... the old man is snoring.
Jose Feliciano's Rain make the most of it.
But - keeping in mind that pouring has multiple connotations ... here's a couple more:
Weather Girls:
Supertramp:
it's the sax player that is pouring it out here ...
