“Beautiful Hurricane” by Tim McGraw

Simply put, “Beautiful Hurricane” is a love song whose lyrics utilize metaphors related to the weather, i.e. a hurricane. They don’t necessarily do so heavily (outside of the chorus), and said metaphors are also kinda elementary. 

But by the time all is said and done, this piece does an effective job of depicting the addressee as a transient lover, someone whom the vocalist came across via a chance encounter, was smitten by and had a brief, apparently romantic interaction with. 

So presumably, that idea of her swiftly coming in and out of Tim’s life is also meant to allude to the addressee being akin to a hurricane, a phenomenon which also tends to have a major impact but only, as with the lady at hand, sticks around for a couple of days.

“I loved your sky and I loved your name
I loved your sun and I loved your rain
My beautiful hurricane”

Tim McGraw produced this track with Byron Gallimore. Both Tim and Byron also held down those roles throughout “Standing Room Only”, McGraw’s album which “Beautiful Hurricane” is derived from. Said album was dropped through Big Machine Records on the date of 25 August 2023.

This song was written by Tony Lane and Mike Lane.
