Then, in 2020, it went viral on TikTok. That happened as the world navigated the Covid-19 pandemic. Perhaps a song about a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/chris-isaak\/wicked-game\">tryst on the beach<\/a> connected with people on a deeper level than one\u2019s id.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While The Neighbourhood\u2019s defining song does describe what happens when the sweater comes off, it also reveals the need for security behind the human desire for intimacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Hate the Beach<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Neighbourhood - Sweater Weather (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GCdwKhTtNNw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesse Rutherford narrates The Neighbourhood\u2019s flirty song and begins in his home state of California. He may despise the beach, but the girl he\u2019s with centers him amid his wistful daydreams and ambitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And all I am is a man,<br>I want the world in my hands.<br>I hate the beach, but I stand,<br>In California with my toes in the sand.<br>Use the sleeves of my sweater, let\u2019s have an adventure,<br>Head in the clouds, but my gravity\u2019s centered.<br>Touch my neck, and I\u2019ll touch yours,<br>You in those little high-waisted shorts, oh<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the girl knows what\u2019s on his mind. There\u2019s no ambiguity here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>She knows what I think about,<br>And what I think about.<br>One love, two mouths,<br>One love, one house.<br>No shirt, no blouse,<br>Just us, you find out.<br>Nothing that I wouldn\u2019t wanna tell you about, no<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>It\u2019s Too Cold for You Here<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, Rutherford\u2019s intimacy isn\u2019t just primal. The whole point of a relationship is the connection. We don\u2019t want to navigate this crazy world alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2019Cause it\u2019s too cold for you here and now,<br>So let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Written by Rutherford and guitarists Zach Abels and Jeremy Freedman, the sweater\u2019s coziness is a metaphor for security. And security is itself a kind of refuge. It\u2019s also the reason people choose to live in neighborhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>And if I may just take your breath away,<br>I don\u2019t mind if there\u2019s not much to say.<br>Sometimes the silence guides a mind,<br>To move to a place so far away<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when we feel cozy, we relax. And most can only relax when they feel secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Frank Hoensch\/Redferns<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In &#8220;Sweater Weather&#8221;, The Neighbourhood describes what happens when the sweater comes off, but the song also reveals a desire for security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":973477,"featured_media":4910,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"byline":{"profiles":[{"type":"byline_id","atts":{"term_id":316,"post_id":2139}}]},"savage_platform_role_ideator":[],"savage_platform_role_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_senior_editor":[],"savage_platform_role_photographer":[],"savage_platform_role_illustrator":[],"savage_platform_role_translator":[],"savage_platform_role_as-told-to":[],"savage_platform_role_reviewed-by":[],"savage_platform_disable_recirculation":false,"savage_platform_article_type":"news","savage_platform_vice_article_type":"article","savage_platform_article_intent":"","savage_platform_show_affiliate_disclaimer":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"wp_curate_deduplication":false,"wp_curate_unique_pinned_posts":false,"savage_platform_featured_image_caption":"Photo by Frank Hoensch\/Redferns","_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"savage_platform_subheadline":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[226,491],"byline":[316],"class_list":["post-4909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features","tag-alternative-rock","tag-the-neighbourhood"],"savage_platform_primary_term":{"category":{"term_name":"Features","term_id":12,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/category\/features\/"},"post_tag":{"term_name":"Alternative Rock","term_id":226,"term_link":"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/articles\/tag\/alternative-rock\/"}},"hide_from_homepage":false,"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
