about

This song features accomplished DC-based jazz guitar player, Tony Harrod and the upright bass of Joe Lipple, Pittsburgh based musician and brother to producer TJ Lipple. This song was inspired by a conversation with WBAL meteorologist Ava Marie who had interviewed the band for performances connected to the MD STEM fest. Marsha say that, "Ava Marie offered to fact check my info if I wrote a weather song in the future. Sure enough, it put the idea in my head and this song is the result!"

lyrics

Whether the weather is hot or cold
Or if the forecast calls for rain or snow
Tells me whether
I should bring an umbrella
Or wear boots or my trusty raincoat

When I know there’ll be sunshine,
It sure makes me feel fine
And I don’t mind it when the wind blows
I look to the meteorologist
So I can choose the right clothes

Whether the weather is wet or dry
Or if the temperatures are low or high
Tells me whether
I’ll need down feathers
Or what SPF I should apply

And whether there’s mist, fog, sleet, hail
I won’t have a wardrobe fail
I check what the forecast will bring
I look to the meteorologist
So I can do the right thing

‘Cause the thunder and lightning
Can sometimes be frightening
I don’t play when the weather’s intense
With a tornado or typhoon
Get to safety real soon
Go inside — it just makes sense!

Whether the weather is stormy or nice
You don’t have to tell me twice.
I look to the meteorologist
For some good advice!

I look to the meteorologist
For some good advice!
