On Justin Timberlake’s 2003 Cry Me A River video, water plays a part both in song lyrics and visually.

The video was directed by Francis Lawrence who commented that the biggest headache was the constantly flowing rain machine. It caused the house to leak, and made the star cold and miserable.

It may be just me but the pouring rain gives the video a certain warmth and a honest and humble tone. To conclude, there are people who see rain as something dreary and those who value its beauty.
