Lyrics:

Small talk by a bus stop
I was just pretending to be me
It is tricky
Two stops that is just enough
time to sit and hum in solitude
Or time to meet someone new

Five day forecast
Winds are sweeping past
Fast strong winds
Soon to batter Britain again

No chance for the sun to dance
Rainy grainy look out on the streets
They need sweeping
But you’re fine there is still time
Do you have to rush round’ to succeed
I don’t think you need to

Five day forecast
Winds are sweeping past
Fast strong winds
Soon to batter Britain again

It stayed mild throughout the week
Against my predictions
Against all odds we were speaking

Five day forecast
Winds are sweeping past
Fast strong winds
Soon to batter Britain again

Five Day Forecast

ASTHMATIC HARP is the musical moniker of Oxford based songwriter and composer Hannah Fredsgaard-Jones. Through the ethereal autoharp, gentle guitar strumming, hushed and tumbling melodies, Asthmatic Harp is synonymous with a sound that manages to be comforting, folksy, eerie, and personal, all at once. 
Born in Denmark before moving to the UK, Hannah began performing on the London music scene with her debut EP in 2015. In 2018 she was handpicked to the prestigious Roundhouse Resident Artist Program. Asthmatic Harp has featured on Danish National Radio and the BBC (6 Music and Radio 3). She has supported Sam Palladio in the Roundhouse and Mary Lattimore during her recent European tour and played gigs across Europe and America, including a gig at the inaugural Kite Festival 2022. Her latest EP ‘Things We Learned To Live With’ was lauded as “a delightfully playful slice of alt-folk” receiving acclaim from blogs ‘For The Rabbits’, ‘Listen With Monger’ and ‘Bristol in Stereo’ and culminated in 21 virtual concerts, including a sold-out concert for Low-Fi Denmark, appearances at The Takeover Fest and at Southside Fringe.

'Music now is quite amazing/Musicians unite against the enemy' - from ‘Music Now’ by Frightened Rabbit (written by Scott Hutchison) 

Scotland's music scene is overlooked and underrated. These are the sounds of contemporary Scotland: this is Music Now.
