A small diversion before I return to #Finn365 tomorrow...

Weather with You - a twitter rant about its meaning...

This morning's rant is entitled -  It's not about the weather - please dig a bit deeper before you dismiss Weather with you.

What the song is about is all in the verses so I will largely ignore the chorus which is the only part of the song most people take in.

The first clue is in the opening line - "walking round the room singing Stormy Weather.."- Stormy Weather is a jazz standard done by all the greatest artists about depression brought on by a relationship break up.

"the same room but everything's different" suggests the singer's "blues" aren't the result of a relationship split - depression and mental health problems have many root causes.

"you can find the sleep but not the dream" Insomnia? another horrible symptom of depression, or maybe a reference to the fact that Neil Finn had writer's block and was struggling to produce songs for album 3?

"things ain't cooking in my kitchen.." a straight analogy that things are not right with the singers. "Julius Caesar and the Roman empire couldn't conquer the blue sky" how do you fight an invisible illness - all appears great but it isn't.

But the singer has the answer, a choice - do nothing like the "small boat made of china" or the "lounge room lizard" or recognise you have a problem and try to fight it. The chorus IMHO is a defiant acknowledgement that this is with "me" but I am going to deal with it.

So to me this is a deep song speaking openly about an issue that was taboo back then, like Tim's Dirty Creature from Split Enz day, it uses a common metaphor in the weather to raise an issue many even now don't like to face. On top of that it's a mega earworm with a great video clip.

So my plea is please show some new love for Weather with You - I know many think it is over exposed but maybe try to hear it with different ears and recognise that like 4 seasons in one day - a song about "smiling as the shit goes down" Weather with You is deeper than many might first think.
