I’ve since learnt that it takes skill and often a little bit of courage to keep things bare, leaving things so exposed and raw. There’s an honesty to that that I love.

I believe I found today’s featured song Strange Weather when I presented a song cowritten by Luke Sital-Singh and Christina Perri in May this year called Rather Be. When I heard the lyrics, I thought Strange Weather was a reflection on the Pandemic and sure enough Sital-Singh stated ‘…everything was strange after the Pandemic. ‘Strange Weather’ was a summary of the EP and how I felt in general.
This gentle song is a restrained and sombre number. It was the lead single and title track from L.A. based singer-songwriter, producer Luke Sital-Singh’s 2023 EP. The arrangement effectively enhances the song’s mood and energy with a soothing percussive quality and growing intensity, guitar rhythms, subtle drumming, and layers of sound building that pairs well with Luke’s gentle, melodic vocals.
[Verse 1]
The moon is letting go
Of everything I know tonight
The hours turn to days
The sky is out of phase
Are we alright?
[Pre-Chorus]
Overcrowded ghost town
Sun behind a dark cloud
All my favourite spots have closed down
Nowhere to go now
[Chorus]
Strange weather
Strange weather
[Verse 2]
It seems like yesterday
I could simply drift away from all this
Now I’m not so sure
About anything anymore
If I’m honest
[Pre-Chorus]
Am I out of my mind?
Is it a matter of time?
[Chorus]
Strange weather
Strange weather
Oh, strange weather
Is it gonna go on and on forever?

Beautiful song. I also like Luke Sital-Singh’s soothing vocals. Since his name rang a distant bell, I searched my own blog and found I included one of his songs in a September 2022 new music review: “Can’t Get High,” a nice pop rock track off his fourth and most recent studio album “Dressing Like a Stranger.”
You don’t know how I tried so hard to find a bio of him even searching his site, wiki and other offshoots. You got it straight on your post from the Apple bio haha There was one article in my article of his ancestry about him being from grandparents Indian, but parents Jamaican, but then born in England… unless I’m mistaken. But I couldn’t work that in my article much because of my own confusion and his obvious privacy concerns.
