Story Behind The Song
Inspired by a girl who likes to walk out in the rain.
Song Description
It's been a very strange twelve months of being inside, and for shifts in mental health. This single celebrates being outdoors in the Spring, even if you do get caught in the April showers.
"The perfect soundtrack for the return of the Outside Days, this psychedelic folk number is written in the child-like pens of Syd Barrett and The Incredible String Band." Music Insider
On the B-side, two performance artists play out a historical event. They are naked, eating all kinds of food, in all kinds of weather. While I'm watching this piece, a messenger arrives. After thirteen years of silence and probes sent to Mars, Martin Hunt finally sends his regards.
This single is the second release in the Weather Trilogy.

Lyrics
Oh if you ever find you're stuck inside again
Just think about the girl who walks out in the rain
She likes to comb her hair and then she walks downstairs
She'll go out walking in the rain
She likes to tie her hair
So she don't fall downstairs
She'll go out walking in the rain
And if you ever feel like life's returned to sane
Just think of all the cartoon people in your brain.
She likes to comb her hair and then she walks downstairs
She'll go out walking in the rain
She likes to tie her hair
So she don't fall downstairs
She'll go out walking in the rain
And when she does, she knows her life is waterproof
Upon her hood the rain knocks just like on a roof
And when she's back inside, she loved to be outside
She's been out walking in the rain
And when she's dry again and when she's feeling strange
She'll go out walking once again
She's been out walking in the rain
