Stormy Weather Lyrics

Don't know why
There's no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain't together
Keeps raining all of the time

Oh, yeah
Life is bad
Gloom and misery everywhere
Stormy weather, stormy weather
And I just can get my poor self together
Oh, I'm weary all of the time
The time, so weary all of the time

When he went away
The blues walked in and met me
Oh, yeah if he stays away
Old rocking chair's gonna get me
All I do is pray
The Lord will let me
Walk in the sun once more

Oh, I can't go on, can't go on, can't go on
Everything I have is gone
Stormy weather, stormy weather
Since my man and I, me and my daddy ain't together
Keeps raining all of the time
Oh, oh, keeps raining all of the time
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah raining all of the time
Stormy stormy
Stormy weather
Yeah

What is the Meaning of Stormy Weather?

Let's dive into the depths of this bluesy lament, shall we? "Stormy Weather" is a moody metaphor for heartbreak, with our leading lady, Etta James, painting an image of relentless rain symbolizing her ceaseless sorrow. The absence of her man has plunged her world into perpetual gloom - no sunshine, only downpours. But wait! There's more. She's not just missing him; she's practically haunted by his absence. Her life's become a sad waltz with a rocking chair and the blues as dance partners. So grab your raincoat and step into Etta’s world of melancholic melodies that remind us love isn't always sunshine and roses, but sometimes thunderstorms and thorns too. #LoveHurts #BluesyBallad #HeartbreakHotel #RainyDaysAndMondays
