Weather With You

Watch:

Tongue Twisters - TH

Whether the weather be fine,
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold,
Or whether the weather be hot,
We'll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not! 

Before listening:

'Stormy Weather' is a song from the 1930s, most famously sung by Billie Holiday. It's about feeling depressed. 

'Affliction' is suffering, pain or sadness

Julius Caesar was a statesmen who ended the Roman Republic and began the Roman Empire.
A 'mantelpiece' is a shelf above the fireplace where you display things.

A "lounge lizard" is a well-dressed man who frequents the establishments in which the rich gather with the intention of seducing a wealthy woman. The term presumably owes something to the cold and insinuating quality of reptiles. Male musicians who play in dimply lit bars and lounges are sometimes referred pejoratively to as lounge lizards.

Listen to song:

Weather With You 

Listen to the song lyrics: what words are missing?

__________ 'round the room singing 'Stormy Weather'
At fifty seven Mt. Pleasant _________
Well it's the same room but everything's _____________
You can find the sleep but not the ___________

Things ain't _________ in my kitchen
Strange affliction wash over _____
Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue _______

Everywhere you go,
Always ______ the weather ______ you
Everywhere you go,
Always ______ the weather
Everywhere you go,
You always ______ the weather _____ you
Everywhere you go,
Always ______ the weather, the weather ______ you

Well there's a _______ boat made of china?
It's going _________ on the mantelpiece
Well _____ I lie like a lounge room lizard?
Or ____ I sing like a bird released?

Notice how the words contrast inside with outside (kitchen / blue Sky). Can you find other examples? Why do you think this is?

Talk about these lines. What do you think they mean?

"it's the same room but everything's different"

"Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire
Couldn't conquer the blue sky"

"there's a small boat made of china
It's going nowhere on the mantelpiece"

"Everywhere you go,
Always take the weather with you"




Discuss these lines:

It doesn't pay to make predictions

The temperature could drop away

The sun shines on the black clouds 

Four seasons in one day

Four Seasons in One Day

Crowded House

Four seasons in one day
Lying in the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain

Even when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like four seasons in one day

Smiling as the shit comes down
You can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned around
And I will risk my neck again, again

You can take me where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
Like all the things you can't explain
Four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

It doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day

Blood dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in one day

Jon Snow: Heroic

We all love good, old Jon Snow, don’t we? I mean, there are many things that make us like his personality. He’s honest, sympathetic and reliable, but if there’s something that really stands out from his character, it’s his “heroic” personality, which means that he is admirably brave and determined, especially in difficult times.
