We got a bit stuck on the title to this one - it's a lot like In the Eye of the Storm, which you probably only noticed if you were really paying attention. The World Will Still Be Broken in the Morning might have been a good title if it hadn't been quite so long, and we had plenty of other ideas too. In the end I think we just forgot about it and called it Weather the Storm anyway.
When Simon wrote the music, it was slightly by accident. He had intended to sequence another track, but had got distracted with this instead. We both quite like the way it turned out, although the chorus doesn't really make sense. Even so, there's something quite uplifting about the melody.
The lyrics:
So here we are again
Waiting for the day to end
Close to the hour at last
When these wretched feelings pass
I’m sailing too close to the wind
To find the heart of the problem
But the world will still be broken in the morning
It won’t seem brighter but at least it will still be turning
And that’s pretty much the way
That I felt until today
Then the sun split the clouds
Till this ship ran aground
I’m drifting along through the days
Towards the root of all evil
But the world will still be broken in the morning
It won’t seem brighter but at least it will still be turning
I’m sinking under, paralysed
Away from freedom and rescue
But the world will still be broken in the morning
It won’t seem brighter but at least it will still be turning
But the world will still be broken in the morning
It won’t seem brighter but at least it will still be turning
(R. Martin / S. Martin)
