Fresh off the January release of his EP Worktapes, fiercely independent singer-songwriter Ron Pope returns with the emotionally shattering acoustic ballad, "The Weather." Featuring the perfect triad of Pope's and Phoebe Bridger's breathy vocals, which blend as smooth as your favorite cocktail, and Jeff Malinowski's reserved, impactful guitar work, "The Weather" lays bare the feelings of lovers who, despite potential storms, make headway to try and find their way back to one another. 


"I tried to find you on your birthday
I called up your mothers house
She swore that she hadn't heard from you a
And asked why I don't come around
Then my sister saw your cousin at a bar on Christmas Eve
She said you don't wanna hear from me"

Pope had this to say about the track, "The Weather" is about that crazy "you'll probably ruin my life but I want you anyway" kind of love. I don't know about you, but I've certainly been down that road a time or two. This recording was the last thing we worked on when making the album. I love Phoebe Bridgers' voice and Jeff Malinowski's guitar playing; this is just the three of us with nothing else to distract from the song. I've been saving this for months, waiting for the right moment to share it. Nothing says "Song Of The Summer" like a heartbreaking, acoustic ballad! "

While "The Weather" may not be that traditional bouncy song of the summer people tend think of, it's an undeniable contender for song of the year.
