BIG BUSINESS' 5th studio album COMMAND YOUR WEATHER. Recorded in Joshua Tree, CA, Command Your Weather sees Big Business return to its original two-man lineup of Jared Warren and Coady Willis. It's a haunting dream about the struggle for dominance of will over the power and unpredictability of nature. Or it's just a really great rock record, it depends on how weird you're willing to get. But you've never had so much fun being crushed in the cogs of the universe's great machine, that much is for sure! I mean, there's no law against having a couple cold beers while we all burn in the fire of time, am I right?!

Jared Warren (Melvins, ex-Karp, ex-The Whip) - Bass, Keyboard, lead vocals
Coady Willis (Melvins, The Murder City Devils, White Shit, ex-Porn) - Drums, backing vocals

1. Last Legs (1:19)

2. Regulars (4:27)
Holding on too long you'll discover
When you suffer
That you're really bleeding into yourself
So Bright
Feeling all the wrong kinds of bluster
You'll recover
But you're really bleeding into yourself
Keeping up with strong will is daunting
Sometimes haunting
But you're really bleeding into yourself
So Bright
If you wondered
Well, you are now

3. Father's Day (3:52)
Digging out of our range
My sympathy runs with time spent in the grave
Keeping some of this gold
Greed is the sound the mine carries the most
When nothing you is clear darkness doesn't seem so bad
There's breath if you hold it
Begging for no new mining
Minutes counting for days
Both of your lungs are grey, needing a break
Fitting into a hole not mean for a man
There's barely room for the ghosts
When nothing you see is clear darkness doesn't seem so bad
There's breath if you hold it
Begging for no new mining
Keeping some of this gold
Making room for the ghosts
***
4. Blacker Holes (3:15)
Deep breathing
It's the only thing that happens in your day
Deep breathing
It's the only thing that happens in your day
Deep breathing
It's the only thing that happens in your day
Grab your faces and run
***
5. Popular Demand (7:00)
Divvy it up
And in short in order
It's just your father's final wish to see everything end in slaughter
Evil eyes can thieve and plunder
A part of the shock of being blind
Even I can see the wonder of cutting a swath so deep and wide
Fearful the twins of lightning
Be mindful
The spirits are counting on new blood
Divvy it up
And in short order
***
6. Own Throats (4:31)
The blaze you're setting
The blaze you're setting
There's space created but weight to bury
Feels magnetic
Looks like heavenly glow
It's fake gold leather
It's fake gold leather
Tastes will vary
Seems like something to know
Command your weather wherever you go
Wish I'd known
***
7. Send Help (3:58)
Steal yourself and cover up
It's colder than you think
Avoid the vipers
How can you tell
They're the ones with the real mean stares
You don't have to get bigger but you have to get out of this space
When your body's tired take a rest
If you're lost follow the sun
You'll need focus
A strong back for work
It's going to take some time
But not mine
You don't have to get bigger but you have to get out of this space
How can you build it all
Use your hands and your will
What if I feel afraid
Stay calm and be still
And if it falls apart
Well that's luck and some things can only get better
***
8. Diagnostic Front (2:57)
Leave it alone you can't undo it
Leave it alone you can't undo it now
There's a mind and a matter
You're only taking the shine
It's still gold
There's a mine and a miner
You're only taking the shine
It's still gold
***
9. Horses (7:16)
Bring those horses in
Tonight they'll surely suffer
Funniest thing about horses
Know when their working is done
If you're working land
Seasons often bring trouble to burden hands
It's not easy
Horses keep strong standing quietly hanging their heads
Bring those horses in
Tonight they'll surely suffer
