1) Magnum is an English hard rock band. They were formed in Birmingham by Tony Clarkin (guitar, songwriter, RIP) and Bob Catley (vocals) in order to appear as the resident band at the Rum Runner nightclub in the city. Magnum have undergone several changes in personnel over the years; however, the core of Catley and Clarkin remain.
Magnum's most significant early success was Chase the Dragon in 1982, which reached number 17 in the UK Albums Chart. It included several songs that would become mainstays of the band's live set, notably "Soldier of the Line", "Sacred Hour" and "The Spirit". On a Storyteller's Night gave the band its breakthrough in Europe, and achieved a Gold certification in the United Kingdom. The band's 1986 album Vigilante represented a further move towards the mainstream before the band achieved their commercial peak in 1988 when they entered the UK Top Ten for the first time with the album Wings of Heaven, which reached number five and featured three Top 40 singles, "Days of No Trust", "Start Talking Love" and "It Must Have Been Love". It was followed by Goodnight L.A., which was produced by Keith Olsen and reached number nine in the UK Album Chart in 1990. It produced another Top 40 single for the band, "Rockin' Chair".
In 1995, Clarkin announced Magnum's split; however, Clarkin and Catley continued working together, now under the name Hard Rain, until 1999. Magnum reformed in 2001 and has enjoyed late-career commercial success. Their most recent album, The Monster Roars, was released in January 2022.

Stormy Weather
Magnum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the rain light up the dark,
It starts the shadows chasing,
And the dogs on the run begin to bark.
The church bell's strikning midnight,
And the lights have all gone down,
The sea's as dark as thunder,
Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away,
But there's nothing I can do.
Chorus
Passing ships into the night,
We can't stay together,
I won't win but I can fight,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.
There's a fog down on the beach,
It rolls on forever,
You get further out of reach,
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.
Tall lights on the highway,
They disappear from view,
There's no-one coming my way,
Now I've lost it all it seems I'm losing you.
Magnum's song Stormy Weather is all about a relationship that is in trouble. The song opens with the singer looking out of the window at the rain that is beating down on it. He goes on to say that the rain lightens up the dark and starts the shadows chasing which are symbolic of the problems in his relationship. He then talks about the church bell striking midnight and the lights all going down which signifies something ominous about to happen. The sea is also as dark as thunder, and he feels like a wanted man on sacred ground. This line could mean that he feels as though he is not at ease in the place that he calls home, or the love that he once had is just not there anymore.
The wind cries out and is taking away his significant other. He feels like there is nothing he can do to stop the stormy weather that is in their relationship. The chorus of the song talks about passing ships into the night and how they can't stay together. The singer knows that he won't win, but he can fight. It's like they are in for the long haul, and they are facing stormy weather that they cannot avoid. There's a fog down on the beach that rolls on forever, which makes the relationship even harder to deal with. The singer knows that they are further out of reach and that they are in for a rough ride.

The rain beats on my window,
Rain is hitting the windows hard
And the rain light up the dark,
Rain is illuminating the darkness around
It starts the shadows chasing,
As a result of the rain, shadows start moving
And the dogs on the run begin to bark.
The dogs outside start barking due to the rain
The church bell's strikning midnight,
The church's bell has rung twelve times
The sea's as dark as thunder,
The sea is very dark just like a thunderstorm
And I feel like a wanted man on sacred ground.
The singer feels like he is in danger whilst being in a sacred place
Now the wind cries out, it's taking you away,
The wind is taking someone away and the singer can't stop it
But there's nothing I can do.
The singer can't do anything to stop the situation
Passing ships into the night,
The ships passing are disappearing into the darkness
We can't stay together,
The singer and someone else can't remain together
I won't win but I can fight,

Looks like we're in for stormy weather.
The situation seems like it's going to get worse
There's a fog down on the beach,
A heavy fog appears to be on the beach
It rolls on forever,
The fog just keeps on going
You get further out of reach,
The person the singer is talking to gets further away
Looks like we're in for stormy weather.
The situation seems like it's going to get worse
Tall lights on the highway,
The tall lights on the highway are visible
They disappear from view,
The lights disappear from the singer's view
There's no-one coming my way,
Nobody is coming towards the singer
Now I've lost it all it seems I'm losing you.
The singer is starting to lose the person they are talking to after losing everything else
