Number four in our common themes in song. Here is the weather.
Songfacts compiled a list of 350 songs about weather. If we cluster the songs around patterns of weather, the outlook is a bit grim.
We have three full days of rain in the week, severe winds for a day, a day of snow and general coldness, and another of thunderbolts and lightning, which as we all know can be very very frightening.
Just a single day of sun, I’m afraid.
Songwriters are not only passive observers of rainy days, but bringers of downpour. First the Temptations sang ‘I Wish It Would Rain’. Phil Collins was clearly unhappy with the direction of the rain that the Temptations had called forth, so qualified the ask with ‘I Wish It Would Rain Down‘.
For our weather tune, over to Madness to cover a full four days of our forecast in one shot.
And that’s your weather. Now over to Alan for the sport and your guide to the World Cup.
