I personally love it when it rains. I prefer it over when it's sunny. They sun blinds and washes out the colors of things, but when the sky is grey, all of the flowers and lights appear brighter.

When I heard the guitar start playing, I thought, "This sounds like 'Love, love, love' by the Mountain Goats," and thought of John Green's farewell to New York video and got all fuzzy inside... The guitar played a little longer than I thought it would, so I thought, "Oh, I guess he's just going to strum, then." And then the words started and I got wayyy more excited than I should have.

Wow thank you John Green for sending me here.

Rain reminds us that we are not masters over nature. It's humbling. I love "Love Love Love." Good to see there are more The Mountain Goats fans out there.

Your well thought-out narrating and beautiful imagery combine to create a wonderful production. I can see your penmanship leak through to your video making.

The cameramanship (i don't think that's a word because there's a red underline as i'm typing this) is just top notch. And I don't know anything about cinematography but dang the aesthetic in this video I find very pleasant.

I got so excited when you started playing "Love Love Love"

Been coming back to this video for a decade plus. It’s my favourite video on KZfaq. I love rain, love the storytelling, and this introduced me to the mountain goats. Thanks RR.

This video is so important to me, you have no idea. Thank you very much.

i come here over and over again for the past 13 years, when i need to feel calm and grounded and reminded that things keep going.

I live in the desert, where it never, ever, ever, rains like this. I miss it. This was such a beautiful video.

Oh my goodness, thank you. This is exactly how I feel about the rain. It has such a serene beauty in the way it colors everything around you as well as how it affects people's mood.

Found this on 2014 and im still living for this

After watching a video where John mentions you, I can't stop watching your videos. I'm wide awake, I've had a bad few days, and I'm just engrossed in these while my roommate sleeps in our dorm room. Once I started to hear The Mountain Goats, I started to cry. That's my favorite song by them, and I think you're my new favorite KZfaqr.

AHHHH Mountain Goats cover! Love it. Also, I feel the same way about Santa Monica when it rains. :]

Three of my favourite things in the world all in one video: Rain, The Mountain Goats and amazing photography. NERDGASM!

what draws me in the most about these videos is your beautiful way of telling a story, even such a simple one as this... your videos are a breath of fresh air

Your videos make me depressed ... in a good way. It's like I'm experiencing someone else's nostalgia. It's just familiar enough to weigh me down with emotion, and just foreign enough to provoke thought. Thanks.

If we could all see that kind of beauty, in the most unexpected moments, what a different world it would be.

wicked man, i love every second of it

On rainy days, when we are alone at home, the sound of waterdrops on leaves give me a feeling of peace and melancholy that is so very sweet and so very sad. I - for some reason - do not feel so alone, even though I am. I love the rain.

I just... love listening to this. I don't know why. But it's just plain awesome.

Absolutely wonderful.Touching,sincere.Wonderful.

Love this video. I remember when it rained like that.

It hardly ever rains like that in my city, too. I like the way to seems to clean everything when it does.

I don't really know why, but this made tears well up in my eyes. (: I really enjoy your videos.

I don't know how to describe the contentment that I feel when I watch this.

it was perfect even before you started playing the mountain goats. this is amazing. your videos are beautiful and fantastic and I pretty much want to be you when I grow up.

I absolutely love this video. Please make more.

Thank you ransom riggs! This is my favorite youtube video. Everything about it is perfert.

Rain is my favorite weather. You could enjoy it whatever your mood. When I'm sad and the tears don't come out, it feels like the rain does it for me and the stone in my throat goes away. When I'm angry, the sound distracts my thoughts and I can calm down. When I'm excited I get to play in the rain, and there are many waves at the beach and the water is warmer. And when I'm lazy, I have the perfect excuse to stay at home and sleep all day. Rainy days are also the best to nap during the day.

Excellent. This was the most amazing natural video I've ever seen. Fantastic job!

i'm 13 and your videos are just, well the most interesting beautiful piece of art on youtube, they just astonish me. The way you speak and the way you film. It makes the world look so much more intriguing and and extraordinary than it actually is. Well done.

Wow, what excellent filming. Your use of focus is absolutely divine.

Beautiful cinematography!! really great narration also. I always love rain at night, but never have I been able to express it as well as you just did ^-^

RANSOM RIGGS EXPLAIN YOURSELF AND TELL ME HOW I NEVER KNEW YOU PLAYED GUITAR

What a beautiful little film!

This was beautifully shot, it almost made me forget for a few minutes how much I hate the rain. I hate how it makes everything grey and depressing. And I hate how you can't walk anywhere without getting that horrible damp feeling because the rain seeps into your shoes and onto the ends of your sleeves and up the leg of your jeans and into your hair. And then when you're experiencing all that damp misery theres always someone who's dry telling you how much they love rain. Sorry rant over D:

This is really great. Very serene and poetic.

I love this like all your videos, it reads no rather sounds like a poem even to the point it sounds both in voice and pentameter as I may read it as if it was a synopsis of your favorite book. Gorgeous to the point I thought "Oh John Green what a coincidence" but then look deeper and thought "yeah he would have a New your time best seller as a friend" and now I must buy your book.

It's amazing how you took something so simple and dull as a rainy day and made it into this outstanding work of art. It's inspiring.

Beautifullly poetic, poectically beautiful!

this is so profoundly moving and i don't even know why.

I really really love your style.

This is probably the best video I have seen on youtube so far. The starting bit reminded me of the movie, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. :)

this is beautiful. love it when it rains. this is one of the works that make you wish to do something like that, and it's a really good thing %)

I love the smell of rain on asphalt. I love it like catnip.

Beautiful.

I loved your book! you have INCREDIBLE videos! Make more :-)

Sir! You are an artist!

Damn this city. Beautiful video

i don't know why i love this video but i do, it makes me think about my place in my "city"

Boy do I love that song.

I discovered you with 'Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children', and I didn't pay atention to you until I had the idea of searching for you in the Internet, and I discovered your videos and, I love them, as well as the way you speak. I can't wait to have 'Talking Pictures' in my hands!!

This is extremely relaxing to listen to.

This is just outstanding

so lovely!!

How do you not have more views on this?? So fantastic. I'm wishing for a rainy day now...checking NOAA now... AND the forecast is showers tonight - wednesday. Winning.

I'm home with a cold and its raining in London (what a surprise!) This is a work of phlegmy fuzzy genius, and so personal! I love you a little bit. :)

Please make more videos! This is so beautiful!

It rains like this all the time where I live xD Love this vid though

you are an amazing storyteller. The style of your videos is amazing, from the way you shoot, to the voice overs...it's all very je ne sais quai--wonderous may be the word. I like it. keep up the good work.

That was beautiful - thanks john green!

BEAUTIFUL!!

WOW this is so beautiful!

Whenever it's raining and I'm walking around town I think of this video. It's beautiful.

Oh man can I please just live in head for while. I won't make to much noise, but I'll probably touch all the gears in my search of where you kept the sun. Their is such a fine line between good pore

Beautiful cat!

Your videos are amazing, please make more, more, more. I'm subscribing.

raining days give me the vibe of red and golden colors

This is so lovely

Sometimes rain is just beautiful.

Thanks for the post.

As soon as you played the first 3 chords i thought "this has got to be a Mountain Goats song"

I used to hate when it rained but this video made me appreciate it. (: As long as I get to stay inside anyway.

Wow! That was amazing! Keep up the good work ;)

People like you, and videos like this, are why I love youtube. Giant squids of anger be damned.

Hi. Where I live (Bergen in Norway) it allways rains like this. Your video felt like home.

This is perfect!

great videos! I love 'em!

I like when it rains, especially at night. It's comforting to me.

Lovely, even with the rain. Hope you dry out soon.

this is my favorite video on youtube

beautiful!

Poetry. All of your videos are poetry.

Wish you'd more videos more often, mate. :) Greetings from the UK.

that was beautiful!

Rain is the good kind of sad. You know? The kind of sad that makes everything feel even again. Rain is the universe's way of saying "Everything will be okay, it's all washed away."

Struck by just how much the rain made everything look like the UK

here, it rains alot. Nearly all the time, but that's why I love it. My whole life is filled with rain, that's who I am. It's like it's been raining my whole life, but it's still beautifull.

i really enjoyed this video and "talking pictures". it doesn't seem like your generic, flashy youtube video with lots and lots of special effects...more like you telling a story to your viewers. a really nice change - i would love to see you share some more stories with us! (:

this is beautiful. poignant and all of that.

And, Ransom, you shall make films. Not just short clips, but long films that will completely consume your audience, and will change our lives.

Wow, just. Wow.

You are awesome.

Ransom Riggs, you are now my favorite person in the world. Your videos are so amazing and interesting. I feel like I relate to them in some sorta of way. I love them, and Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. You're just so fascinating and talented. I really want to meet you one day! Love, Maria G.

Wow... So if rain can be equal in a sense to a sad sort of feel (typically), funny how the day with it's usual sense of beauty can be twisted with such rain, and then the night - with it's tight and quiet and even a sad sense as well at times - can be combined with rain to make beauty.

Move to Seattle, and you can feel this way 300 days a year!

this video is so beautiful uh.

i want it to rain like this soo badly. i live in colorado and this hardly ever rains like that.
