	CD: Stranger Than Fiction   Label: Raku Records
	Story Behind the Song The weather-predictor in real life is my dog Sophie...she gets crazed when there is a storm coming, and usually knows long before we do that something is on the way (she also inspired the song "Man's Best Friend"). Good dog. The details of the song lyric are as true to Sophie's actual life as possible - she really did show up pregnant and pathetic, and she moved into my next-door-neighbor's yard - after she had her puppies, he was going to take her to the pound...I adopted her instead. An interesting recording note: the thunderstorm sounds that you hear on the track were recorded by me in Steamboat Springs, Co in the summer of '01. Wish you could see the lightning too, it was spectacular! I took my Powerbook out onto the porch of the cabin where I was staying and just hit record (using the built-in mic! Ididn't want to waste any time setting up a good mic...might miss something). I sat there for about 15 minutes letting the "tape" run. Lyrics Sophie was a girl out on her own Baby on the way long way from home Even if she knew how, she can’t go back now They put her out said she was out-of-whack now She found someone to love and settled down At least until the baby came around He said you’ve got to choose it’s me or him girl As soon as that child was gone you could hear the winds swirl Sophie says that there’s weather comin’ You better have somewhere to go When Sophie says that there’s weather comin’ You can bet the winds will blow When Sophie says so Alone up on the hill for 60 years People down below always steer clear Of the mad old woman who makes the rain come They swear that they can hear her pain drum Sophie says that there’s weather comin’ You better have somewhere to go When Sophie says that there’s weather comin’ You can bet the winds will blow When Sophie says so If you ask her how she knows She’ll say she doesn’t bid the rain or snow This thing inside her just grows, then...
