Some Song Over the Rainbow: Rainbow

For our final Colorful Playlist, let's take a look at the beautiful combination that is the rainbow itself. What a beautiful promise and phenomenon we get to experience!

Merriam-Webster defines rainbow as "an arc or circle that exhibits in concentric bands the colors of the spectrum and that is formed opposite the sun by the refraction and reflection of the sun's rays in raindrops, spray, or mist." The rainbow often symbolizes change, diversity, grace, hope, innocence, life, love, mercy, peace, promise, renewal, self-acceptance, and wisdom.

Like our past posts, this post will be divided between albums and songs. For albums, I've once again compiled a list of albums from my husband and I's individual libraries looking for rainbow album covers for the Rainbow Playlist available on Apple Music @audioaesthetics. I've also complied a list of songs, again from both my and my husband's libraries, that have rainbow somewhere in the title. Let's dive in!
