Exist - Like the Weather

     The concept, if you will, of today's post, and how it relates to today's song, makes me feel clever. Please bear with me.

     "Like the Weather", by American fusion band Exist, is a little bit like the weather -- mercurial, changeable. At times "Like the Weather" thunders along like a storm front, and at other times it backs off like a sunny break in the clouds. The song's nine minute running time is like a year's worth of shifting seasons and varied weather patterns.

     OK, so maybe that's reaching a bit. "Like the Weather" is a killer fusion metal song, with a perfect storm of jazz and tech death elements. And given that Exist's debut LP is entitled Sunlight (complete with title track), maybe it's not such a stretch to believe that there's some meteorological or climatological stuff going on. Or maybe I'm just tired. Goodnight kids.

(Unfortunately, I can't find a copy of this song online, so you'll just have to hit the Googler and try to find a stream of the album somewhere. "Like the Weather" is track four. Good luck!)
