It's Too Hot – A Slow Folk Song About the Heat

Подробнее о видео

Every year, as the seasons shift, the first wave of real heat hits hard. I wrote this song on one of those days — when the air gets still, the sun won’t let up, and everything feels just a little heavier.

“It’s Too Hot” is a slow folk tune built around that feeling, with a simple, steady rhythm and a repetitive chorus meant to mirror how that kind of weather settles in and stays. It’s not meant to be funny or exaggerated — just honest. We burn up in it, and yet we carry on.

Thank you for listening.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
The sidewalk’s melting under feet
I’m sweating just from standing still
The sun’s attack is no retreat
It’s cooking brains and breaking will

[Chorus]
It’s too hot, it’s way too hot
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot
Can’t think straight, can’t breathe, can’t sleep
Even the shade is feeling cheap

[Verse 2]
The trees are drooping in defeat
My dog just sighed and gave up too
The ice cream’s dead, a melted sheet
The fan just mocks with what it do

[Chorus]
It’s too hot, it’s way too hot
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot
Clothes stick on like they’ve been glued
Mood swings come pre-barbecued

[Bridge]
The AC groans like it might die
I’d kill for rain, I’d trade the sky
A cloud? A breeze? Just one degree—
This heat has straight-up broken me

[Final Chorus]
It’s too hot, it’s way too hot
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot
I dream of snow, of Arctic plots
But for now—I rot. I rot. I rot.

[Outro]
One more day of this and I might scream
Feels like I'm cooked in sunscreen steam
Hot like lava, hot like shame
Who lit the world and walked away?
