Harold walks down
Any street of this town
Both crier and witness
The sun drops
Clouds shift
His legs twitch
The clocks chime
On cafes, pharmacies, and dime stores
In bar rooms he sits all alone
Erupting
In his head it's like the weather
In his head it's like the weather
In his head it's like the weather
Oh, oh, oh
Back and forth it's like the weather
Back and forth it's like the weather
Back and forth it's like the weather
When it rains it pours down
Weatherman, do you feel?
Do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?
Weatherman, do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?
Any street of this town
Both crier and witness
The sun drops
Clouds shift
His legs twitch
The clocks chime
On cafes, pharmacies, and dime stores
In bar rooms he sits all alone
Erupting
In his head it's like the weather
In his head it's like the weather
In his head it's like the weather
Oh, oh, oh
Back and forth it's like the weather
Back and forth it's like the weather
Back and forth it's like the weather
When it rains it pours down
Weatherman, do you feel?
Do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?
Weatherman, do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?

I've always heard this song as the narrator getting a brain storm for his song. He walks down the street, and is influenced by this or that, from social activities to the sounds outside. Thats why I love how the song builds, in bits and pieces and then it unravels itself out into this gorgeous dissonant piece. The drums are scattered, cello melody unfinished and the bells chime and then everything does erupt into a thought, to w/e he feels at the moment and erupts into said beauty. My favorite on the whole cd i think.
Erupting"
It's like he gets drunk and has something to say but no one's listening.
I really have no clue what this song is about. It always makes me think of a middle-aged guy who's all confused and half crazy, how he wanders the town and prophesies the end of the world, but people just ignore him. The cello is really killer in this one. It starts off sounding just like the weather. Deep blue sky, clouds shifting, a hint of storm.
The first of which could be a frustrated artist struggling to come up with ideas and inspiration for songs

It seems as if Kasher is describing how an artist tries to force ideas by changing scenery or hoping to be a "crier" or a "witness" to some event, but however, usually ends up with nothing more than he started with, causing immense frustration to the point where he feels he will "erupt"
The second thought I had on this song could be Mr. Kasher describing how it feels to have an idea for something to write about and not knowing exacting how to express it in words, and/or not knowing how he feels about the whole situation.
"In his head it's like the weather
In his head it's like the weather
In his head it's like the weather
Oh, oh, oh
Back and forth it's like the weather
Back and forth it's like the weather
Back and forth it's like the weather
When it rains it pours down
Weatherman, do you feel?
Do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?
Weatherman, do you feel?
Is it stormy inside of your veins?"
Anyway, I thought this interpretation fit the whole idea of Tim Kasher writing songs about writing songs and being an artist in general, which seems to be a common theme on some, if not all, of the songs on The Ugly Organ in some way or another.
Maybe Harold is supposed to be a representation of US, the listener?
"Is it stormy inside of your veins?"
Are you unsettled by yourself? Maybe guilt running through out him? So simple so creative so emotional probably one of my favorite lilnes in any given song.
