Life's Not a Perfect Storm

Lyrics

Life's Not a Perfect Storm There will be sunny days There will be rainy days There will be skies that'll bring you down Things beyond our command Even for the weatherman Sometimes the sun has its head in the clouds You say you won't get out of bed One too many fair-weathered friends Blue skies, storm clouds Rain sun, cool to warm Life's not a perfect storm I know you've had rain on your parade A cold wind brought you to your knees And if you're sad because you thought that you had it made I can stop with you and shoot the breeze Life's not a perfect storm Would you like the skies to own? A personal high-pressure zone Just to see the sun everyday? Nothing comes without a cost Cloud nine the first thing that's lost When every noon and night is the same I know you'll soon see clearing skies If you just open your eyes Blue skies, storm clouds Rain sun, cool to warm Life's not a perfect storm I know that you've had rain on your parade A cold wind brought you to your knees And if you're sad because you thought that you had it made I can stop with you and shoot the breeze Life's not a perfect storm

Description

Short Song Description: Beatles/Byrds-influenced psych, folk-pop number with some trippy lyrics

Long Song Description: Song about reaching out in friendship and not letting silly things like the weather get you down. Musically it's "a bit" inspired by '60s folk-rock ala Byrds, Beatles and Buffalo Springfield along with more recent people like Wilco.

Story Behind the Song: Strangely enough, the first drop of inspiration came walking down the street in a Milan drizzle last April.
