"Heavy Weather" is a song by Australian alternative rock group The Rubens.
[1] The song was released as the second single from the group's fourth studio album, 0202 (2021).
[2] The Rubens' keyboardist Elliott Margin, who also wrote the lyrics, explained the meaning of the song during its premiere on Triple J.
"Its about going through something difficult [and] telling yourself those clichéd things - 'chin up', 'pick yourself up' - to get through and realising they're cliches because they work... You are able to get out the other side and feel positive about it eventually."
[3] Due to the social distancing policies enforced by Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic, The Rubens were unable to film their planned video for “Heavy Weather”, and therefore reached out to their fans via social media asking them to send in a short video of how they are spending the isolation period, to be included in a music video to be released in May.
