Heavy Weather
Billie Marten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If it rises at all
Meet me there across the water
And we'll start an endless storm
Rain falls in love
Rain falls in love
So caught up in one another
Because if we're under thunder showers
The rain is ours and we are lovers
Heavy Weather
Come on lightning try to strike us
We might be frightened but we won't run
We'd be so happy if we were fearless
And in the darkness we will become
Rain falls in love
We fall in love
Together we walk the English winter
So caught up in one another
Because if we're under thunder showers
The rain is ours and we are lovers
Heavy Weather
Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather
Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather,
Heavy Weather
Together we walk the English winter
So caught up in one another
Because if we're under thunder showers
The rain is ours and we are lovers
Together we walk the English winter
So caught up in one another
Because if we're under thunder showers
The rain is ours and we are lovers
Heavy Weather
Heavy Weather

Ribbon
Ribbon of the river by my side,
I walk the shores and watch it unwind
The railway tracks will leave a glimpse of the light,
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind
And as soon as you're seen it it's gone
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
Secrets of the city
Make an aching in my heart
And the mysteries that tease me so
I long to belong but I always have to go
People stare and wonder why I stray,
They don't understand that wandering's my way
I'll never stop, though time is slipping away
The elusive light, shining strange on my face
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
As soon as you've seen it it's gone
Secrets of the city
Make an aching in my heart
And the mysteries that tease me so
I long to belong but I always have to go
Home ties me up
With discontent
Since the day I first went,
Yearning to be back again
How will I return and when
Secrets of the city
Make an aching in my heart
And the mysteries that tease me so
I long to belong but I always have to go
Billie Marten's song "Heavy Weather" is a beautiful and poetic ode to love and the power of nature. The song is about the singer's desire to be with their loved one through all kinds of weather, even if it means they're caught in a thunderstorm. The opening lines of the song are striking: "When the sun rises silver, if it rises at all, meet me there across the water, and we'll start an endless storm." The idea of a "silver" sun creates a sense of unease and uncertainty, hinting at the storm to come. But the singer welcomes this weather, seeing it as an opportunity to be close to their loved one.
Throughout the song, the rain serves as a symbol for the intensity of the singer's feelings. Rain "falls in love" and "we fall in love" suggests that the rain is an extension of the singer's emotions, and that the weather is a physical manifestation of their love. This is further emphasized in the repeated refrain of "the rain is ours and we are lovers," which brings the song full circle.
Overall, "Heavy Weather" is a gorgeously written song that captures the raw emotions of falling in love and the beauty of nature. The lyrics are poetic and thought-provoking, and the gentle melody perfectly complements the sentiment of the words.
Line by Line Meaning
When the sun rises silver
At daybreak, if the sun shines and sparkles like silver
If it rises at all
If it even rises at all, given the unpredictability of weather
Meet me there across the water
Join me across the water, wherever that may be
And we'll start an endless storm
Together, we'll create and weather any hardships that arise
Rain falls in love
Love is like rain, it can pour down unexpectedly and all-encompassing
Together we walk the English winter
We journey through the cold, dark English winter together
So caught up in one another
We are deeply consumed by our connection with each other
Because if we're under thunder showers
Even amidst the chaos of thunderous rain
The rain is ours and we are lovers
We cherish those moments because they represent the intensity of our love
Heavy Weather
The phrase symbolizes the storms of life, both literal and figurative
Come on lightning try to strike us
We dare the universe to throw its worst at us
We might be frightened but we won't run
Though we'll likely feel scared, we won't back down
We'd be so happy if we were fearless
If we could conquer fear, we'd experience true happiness
And in the darkness we will become
We will shine in the darkness despite any obstacles
Together we walk the English winter
We journey through the cold, dark English winter together
Heavy Weather
The phrase symbolizes the storms of life, both literal and figurative
Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather, Heavy Weather
Repeated emphasis on the theme of challenging times
Ribbon of the river by my side,
The river laying beside me like a ribbon
I walk the shores and watch it unwind
I stroll by the water and watch it flow
The railway tracks will leave a glimpse of the light,
The rail tracks leave a trace of light from the train that's passed by
From the train, trailing sparks of gold behind
The train leaves behind a trail of sparkles that resemble gold
Secrets of the city
The hidden parts of the city that are unknown to outsiders
Make an aching in my heart
Those secrets create a longing and pain inside me
And the mysteries that tease me so
The things about the city that I don't understand taunt me
I long to belong but I always have to go
I want to feel like I'm part of it, but I always have to leave
People stare and wonder why I stray,
Onlookers watch me with confusion, wondering why I wander
They don't understand that wandering's my way
But they don't realize that wandering is my natural mode of living
I'll never stop, though time is slipping away
Even though I know time is scarce, I can't quell my restless spirit
The elusive light, shining strange on my face
But as I venture out into the world, there are moments where I do feel an elusive spark of light on my face
Home ties me up
Even though home is familiar and provides stability
With discontent
It also makes me unhappy
Since the day I first went,
Since the day I left home
Yearning to be back again
The longing to come back to what I know
How will I return and when
But unknowns surround what the future holds
