Story Behind The Song
I began writing song one cold early 2017 morning watching local over-air news wondering when weather forecast would come on. Decided to get a demo watching The Weather Channel cover Hurricane Harvey, fall 2017. Folks at Tunedesigner (Covington, GA) recorded it between Harvey and Irma.
Song Description
Singer asks "Are you gonna give me the weather" in chorus. Verses list preparations for going outside. Lyric then gets a little existential.
Spoken weather forecast or rap (available on request) could accompany instrumental in first 10-15 seconds of song.
