I wish that I could go back to this point in time of my life. I would do things very differently. I would hug my mother. What happened? Where did all of this time escape?! I’m 45 and I could swear that I was 12 yesterday. 😞
As a child I basically lived in hotels growing up (long story). The Weather Channel was the only real constant from place-to-place. It helped me greatly then. It's still helping me today.
I am a firefighter. Our crew would leave the tv on the weather channel for the entire shift. It was there when we left on a call and the first to greet us on our safe return.
Dude YES. Here in the Southeast, if it was snowing at all, we'd get cancelled so I watched the forecast like a hawk as a kid in the 2000s. I remember one week we got snowed in all week and my friends and I played Call of Duty Black Ops ALL DAY. So much fun. This vid brings back lots of good memories of those days!
People who want to support the person who made most of the music for The Weather Channel- his name is Ryan Farish and he has all of this stuff released on his albums. Also loving all the Gen Z's in the comments feelin' this along with us.
Artists and bands that had their music played on TWC: Patrick O'Hean (Former keyboardist for Missing Persons) David Lanz The Rippingtons Special EFX Third Force David Benoit Shaheen and Sephir And some others I would need to look up in my music library. Those were good times.
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729 Moby was surprisingly common to hear too; TWC is how I learned I was a Moby fan for years without realizing it. XD When I went to look up all the songs I had memorized from TWC, most of them were by him.
Takes me back to my childhood. In the late 80s we had a local weather channel that was just teletext and music. No people, no fancy graphics. I was too young to appreciate how comfy it was at the time.
Every hotel TV in the 90s was by default set to the Weather Channel. 1995 was a nice summer, I was 15 and will always remember it. Back then we thought things were just going to get better.
I was 12… now I know what “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” 💭feels like 💨 & “where does the time go” I guess is next…as I’m pullin up to the Middle Ages, now. 😊
I was just thinking this same thing while listening. At the time, as a teenager, it really seemed like the sky was the limit, and our society and standard of living was going to just keep improving...
Graduated high school in ‘95. Things seemed so innocent back then; it was a happier time for sure. Wish we could get back to something resembling that.
I love how simple and clean the presentation was. No cluttered graphics. No need to always have some extreme story to cover. No episodic reality programming...
Thank 9/11. They rarely used those scrolling bumpers along the bottom or extra, unrelated graphics on-screen. During 9/11, CNN (and, I'm sure, others) introduced them. News and information on TV has been presented like a ADHD nightmare collage ever since.
It's so nice to find a mix that's longer than an hour. When I was a kid I would turn on the weather channel before going to bed and would fall asleep to local on the 8s. Thanks for making this chyllvester
Thank you! So happy to hear that this weather channel mix could bring back such a comforting and nostalgic memory for you. I hope you'll consider subscribing so you can stay tuned for more 💜
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729not.the.best attitude to start the year off. To I highly disappointed and disagree.. It's not like the past was any better especially on more points than others
@@BlueJaydenBirdnot everything about the past, but the vast majority of the past is greater than the present, and very likely today will be vastly better than what we see in the future. Sorry. Things are trending worse and worse everyday. You can’t live in blind optimism. Reality is that things get worse and worse as time goes on.
@samino1979 you’re not the only one. Only for me, it’s 12:30 A.M. on Sunday, February 4th 2024. How I wish there was technology to quantum leap back into myself from many years ago. I would change so very much.
I was 12 in 95. All.of the 90's hold my favorite summers ever. 1995 being especially good at that age. Just out riding my bike with my friends. So grateful to have grown up then.
I’m a 90’s kid too. Born in 81. I’m so glad I was a kid in those days compared to these days now. These kids today will never experience the awesomeness that we experienced. Just no comparison. We actually experienced what being a kid is all about. It’s not about social media and all the rest of the garbage out there.
To me it's because of the mellow beats and instruments used paired with the muffled/grainy effect over the songs. Someone else more well versed in music theory could give a better in depth explanation but that's all I got 🤾🏻♀️
It was designed to be bland yet pleasant, calming and softly positive. Just like the sound of a security alarm going off is designed (very successfully!) to suddenly rev up your nervous system, heart rate and adrenaline! It's known as psychoacoustic sounds or music. Designed to create a certain reaction in our nervous system. Add to that that it's written into your brain, if you enjoyed it years ago, as a strong, nostalgic and very effective experience... full of memories, sensations. And you have something rather calmly potent for relaxing to 😊 When I listen to this it makes me feel like I'm cozy in my pajamas and eating cinnamon toast 😅
I remember watching the weather channel on the huge clunky CRT TV. I was maybe only 5 years old, but watching the weather always sparked wonder about the world in me. I even wanted to become a meteorologist for a while. Thanks for posting this.
Damn this takes me back. My brother and I used to jam so f•••ing hard to the weather channel in our room. No one else in the family understood us. They still don’t. But the weather channel music guy did.
My mom had a day trip out of state and dropped me off at my neighbor's house when I was a kid back in like '98. I spent the entire time watching the weather channel in her basement. Made her life easy I guess. I actually met the on air staff back in '16 or '17, was the coolest thing.
I was born in 1991. Makes me sad that 1999 was seemingly the last great year. Some of my favorite childhood memories were those last 5 years. My sister was born in 95, family vacations, discovery. Plenty of terrible things were happening as well but the world just seemed so 1 maybe 2 dimensional. Then the 2000s started off cool but it got weird quick. Internet connected us in a way that will always keep us disconnected from the way we felt in that last decade. Peace to you all. Cool video, makes me sad or at least feel a little heavy. I too use to watch the weather channel alot. This music reminds me of spartan stores and kmart
I was born in 82, and you are correct. The 90’s were the peak of western culture. Everything took a nose dive on 9/11. I think it broke the boomers, gen x and some millennials. Then the 2008 crash broke the rest of the millennials and covid broke everyone else. The internet died sometime in the mid 2010’s and its all just a couple sites and culture is shattered. I don’t miss being a kid, but i do miss the world before the 24hour news cycle and the instant gratification cycle of smart phones.

@@Kilthan2050 It was smart phones and social media. 2008 I got the highest paying job I've ever had so didn't bother me. I guess 9/11 if you are American. I was 16 at the time. Didn't really get the gravity of it until years later.
They played a key role in too. They helped solidify everything into a homogeneous mass that we see today. In some way culture seems ro have expanded, what with a million sub-genres of entertainment, but its surface level stuff. And regional/local cultures are dying because of the monoculture in the US. Little towns are losing their identity. Heck, even dialects are dying because of mass media and communications. I drive across the US multiple times a year, and each trip it gets harder to find locally owned restaurants. Especially along the interstate highways.
Roughly 30 years later people are watching this old footage of the weather channel. Some questions I like to ponder in these moments are: who recorded all this weather channel footage? Why? How did they keep this for so long? What about the people in the footage, what are those people doing today? What would they think of all these old recordings? Do they long for those older days too? There was a special simplicity in the green screen styles before they had giant touch screens to aid them now. How they had to periodically look at the camera to check where they were pointing to, which made it feel like they were engaging the viewer by talking right to them. The basic graphics to display the numbers and patterns. I miss this shit along with the old scrolling TV guide channels.
I graduated high school in 95. This brings back so many nostalgic memories...We used to have the weather channel playing in the background in the house. The funny thing was that I didn't even like the music on the weather channel back then, but the flood of memories this brings is unreal. That was a great time to be alive.
Everything was a vibe back then, wish I could’ve been around for it. Also, I looked on the calendar to see which year in the 90s that July 11th fell on a Tuesday and it was 1995 ;)
Thank you for looking that up! I was 8 years old lol. Makes me miss the 90s. I was blissfully ignorant of the world, just excited for mom to take me to the local gas station so that I could rent Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles (yes gas stations renting out games was a thing, a least in Alabama).
@@JCMPRadio For a while in the early 90's ALL the grocery stores around rented out games and music. Though, that started going away once Blockbuster and Hollywood Video moved into the area.
Nah, if you'd been around for it you wouldn't have appreciated it. I had just turned 14 when this aired, and we were cynical and ironic about everything. Which is sort of sad in hindsight because we had no idea how good we had it.
I used to like watching it and also the "community bulletin" channel which was a bunch of local ad listings and events, the music would be similar too. Something about watching it late at night as a kid was something I enjoyed a lot but couldn't really explain properly why
I come back here to hangout every once in awhile. Feels like visiting a childhood home at a time when everything was ok, dreams had no limit, and life made sense.
praying for a solar flare lmao maybe we’ll all go back to analog tech. At least I hope so, the world would be better off without everything being centered around the internet. How jealous I am of the folks who got to experience life before 2005 im so sick and tired of everyone and everything being centered around the internet and god how I wish I was born 50 years earlier as dumb as it sounds these times seemed so much easier and enjoyable as much as they had they’re problems and drawbacks life seemed to move a little slower and everyone looked happier, I find a weird attachment to videos like this they’re almost windows to a world that wasn’t all that long ago but feels so far out of reach. It’s odd to be nostalgic for a time you’ve never know, it’s quite the odd feeling to be honest as long as I can remember I’ve felt this way, maybe it’s the rose colored glasses i see through when I watch old movies or it could be the melancholy retelling of my older family members youth, I can’t help but be slightly jealous of their experience. The stories they tell from long ago of random antics with friends and certain things that are impossible to experience now are just so extremely interesting. And I think about these things often about how different it would’ve been if I was born just a little bit earlier. But I guess a boy can wish lol
bec it isnt the jazz era anymore 💀 ppls preferences change but i def think they should bring back old music to weather channels and stores instead of loud rap thats about ass or sex or how tight their vaj is 🚶not trashing it but cmon u wanna hear that all the time? thats more of a personal time thing

ive heard this stuff in a bunch of analog horror, i sleep to this and swear by it for relaxing, writing essays, and having a smoke. its just... kinda perfect, its peaceful stuff in my stupid, crazy life. please, whoever owns this channel, don't take this down, it makes me and so many others happy
Senior year of high school (1993-1994), I took a Chemistry AP class, which was held after lunch. Sometimes I would sneak out of the cafeteria and head up to class because I knew my teacher (Mr. Mazer) would be there. Why would I sneak away from friends to hang out with a teacher? First, I didn't have many friends. Second, he wasn't your typical teacher. He was heavily into music and even played guitar. He was into more of the old school Stevie Ray Vaughan stuff; he even had a poster of SRV (and Hendrix!!!) hung in the back of the classroom. While he had the old influence, I was into newer, more indie stuff, but he was open-minded enough to give it a listen and actually wound up having some interesting things to say about the music I shared with him. At any rate, he would eat his lunch in the classroom. Without fail, whenever I went to join him, he had on the Weather Channel. Listening to this now takes me right back to those days, when the only responsibility I really had was homework, and I thought having no friends or romantic attachments were the world's biggest problems. In senior year, I was able to get away with taking only 5 or 6 classes, so my day ended after Chem AP. The thing is, the buses didn't come until after 7th and 8th period, so when the weather got better, I would walk home. My mom and stepdad didn't get home until maybe an hour after me, so I would put on the Weather Channel at home, and it was like I was still hanging out with Mr. Mazer. Now that I play this again, it still feels that way.
when i was a kid i was like obsessed with the weather channel, probably just because it was the least stimulating thing on tv and i constantly needed to chill out
aww i was born in 2001 and by the time i was old enough to actually work the channels myself (going outside of the few channels i was allowed to/wanted to watch) this didn't really exist. this is still really good and makes me nostalgic for a time i wasn't part of.
@@jasonanderson5034 you are wrong on so many levels it's not even worth it to point out the extent of it. ignore this guy. ♡ that you can appreciate and find peace in something that so many of us feel a sense of bittersweet sadness over (things truly were better in a million ways) it means you have a direct connection to the same feeling that all of us are kind of grieving now. it means it's both not really gone and also timeless.
@xXluluchanelXx u got huge issues to respond like that ... can't handle facts u nut job .. it's not nostalgia for you because u weren't alive nor did u witness this years ago u said it yourself .. maybe we need a word to define this situation but it isn't nostalgia. I feel the same way about time periods before I was born but it's not nostalgia get over it
I am an '04 baby, and I never really got to experience this music by the time I was old enough to remember the weather channel. But strangely, I feel nostalgic for this music. It's almost as if I really lived when the weather channel used this music. It's very calming. They should bring it back.
I wasn’t a 90’s baby but this gives me a huge wave of nostalgia Something that me and my friend did for our video creation class Sophomore year was use 90’s weather vapor wave as background music This is pure nostalgia
My Mom use to watch the weather channel all the time, especially during hurricane season. I never thought seeing/hearing old school weather channel from the 90's would make me emotional.
I miss this when I was young… I don’t really like the current Weather Channel we have today, but I do enjoy Weather Nation. The music on there is nice some times
The first broadcast shown in the video is from July 11th, 1995. At O'Hare Int'l Airport, it was 69 degrees at 5 am, but it was already 73 degrees by 6 am. This lines up with the forecast.
@@MyPalJimbo I looked up the years that Wednesday, July 11th fell on. From there, I looked at the weather on all the possible July 11ths, and found that this one lined up with the weather on July 11th, 1995.
As someone on the spectrum , there was always something calming about the weather channel it helps my mind slow down relax finally find that wave and ride it out
This reminds me of vacations with my parents and staying in a motel room with this on. I loved it. We did not watch TV at home. They did not consider this channel as watching TV.
2023 sucks. I miss the good old times, I'm not American but i always understand how good it was for you all and i feel it the same way. ❤ The reason why i love weather, Vaporwave and white noise.
@@tbpjmr2869 1969-1980, absolute low point being probably 1973. I wasn't alive yet and nobody talks about the bad times, including history books, so it's hard for me to say for sure.
good times are not coming and your 40 year cycle is a myth. the world is in a state right now never seen before. there is no other comarable era in history. we are genuinely breaking new ground. systems are falling apart across the world socially, economically, and politically. it gets worse before it gets worse. if you check real metrics and data there isnt anything suggesting good times are coming, quite the opposite and im not just being alarmist. we gotta stop pretending like shits just gonna work itself out because it wont. darkness is growing across the world and thats a fact. war is brewing across the planet. if anything id say we are at the neginning of a modern dark age. people cannot speak freely and are targeted for going against the grain. double speak is becoming a real thing. we are in a state of crisis. we are not past the worst, that just makes you feel better. stop seeking comfort and do something about anything.@@dansands8140
dudes fucking tripping we have never seen anything like this is human history, the entire planet is a powder keg about to blow right now. youd have to be flat out ignorant to see that we are one bad week away from world war. 40 year cycle? was there 40 years between the two biggest wars in human history? stop coping and do something about anything. the world is not doing ok right now and its not just gonna get better. we take it for granted and act like it cant all come tumbling down in an instant. we all saw how fragile society is during covid@@tbpjmr2869
I love fake memories , they are the best memories. But hay ! If you like fake memories you ought to give fake reality a try. You might like it. I sure do.
The Weather Channel, Garfield and Friends, Winne the Pooh, Disney, and Dinosaurs is one of the first things I remember looking at as a toddler. XD The Weather Channel was among my favorites for some reason.
For real: I just love this. I would like more channels to have this kind of relaxing music, while also having an unintentionally ingrained lo-fi touch to it. This video is so chill and I never want it to disappear.
To me it's not fake nostalgia Something too strong to be considered fake nostalgia, I was born in the wrong generation But I'm doing the best I can being here
When I was like 6 - 9 years old I became obsessed with the weather channel (this was from 2010 to 2012) and I wanted to become a weatherwoman. Listening to this makes me miss 2010-2012 Weather Channel. Back when times were good
This reminds me of waking up early with my dad in the 80s and 90s just to be awake at the same time as him before he went to work. His morning ritual was coffee and The Weather Channel. Really brings me back...
😔can we please just go back to when things were so much simpler…when life seemed so much more fun and worth experiencing…this really hits home when you sit and close your eyes to reminisce about the old times…those memories we stored away in our minds that we thought wouldn’t hold much significance or bring us the same feelings we had back then to today’s times…looking back to when times felt so much more fulfilling…vibrant…worthwhile…maybe life is meant to be this way…experiencing the moments we never realized would mean so much down the line in life…wishing we could have one day back in the past to relive those moments we thought would last forever…😔…moments with those whom we’ve lost…moments that made us who we are today…man, life is a trip…crazy how the visuals and audio from one video can have you reliving so many past events and getting all nostalgic 🥺😮💨
i find this music to be really eerie. like, i really enjoy it -- don't get me wrong. but my brain keeps anticipating it to abruptly stop for a severe weather warning haha
No personalities, no over the top forecasts and no farkin' politics. Just sooo chill. And I used to have suits like they were wearing. Nobody wears suits anymore.
Nostalgic and safe. Two words that describe what I'm feeling right now listening to this. Thank you for posting. Countless nights I slept to this channel's muzak, I found it comforting. Smh, I miss those nights, those times entirely.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a meteorologist. I was (and still am) fascinated by weather patterns and the tools used to predict severe weather. I once recall doing an impromptu “weather report” on a beach in a tropical storm, completely unbothered by the pounding rain. Bonus: I grew up in a state with frequent severe weather and tornadoes, so I was less terrified of severe weather and more interested in it. Probably saved my folks a few sleepless stormy nights lol!
My grandfather was a meteorologist during the Oklahoma city bombing and he got me into weather when I was 10 yrs old and I'm 42 now and still live and breath weather especially sever weather.
The fact there's a niche for 90s TWC is awesome! Glad I'm not the only one. I remember in 1993,I was sick and hone from school and finished watching "Hey Dude!" on Nickelodeon and decided to flip channels. For some reason I stopped on TWC and it all took off from there. I cant thank you enough for this. Tho alot ofbthis spunds like more self produced "wave" music,it still fits those TWC vibes precisely. It definitely takes me back to those days.
need you to know how excited i am on this one.... TWC was my favorite thing to watch growing up and now without cable i miss it so much. even better bc nostalgia.
Very nice. I was born in 1997, so I don't have much memory of the 90s. However, there was a period of time in the 2000s where I would stay up and just watch the Weather Channel at night, constantly losing myself in the Local On The 8s. My Grandma had analog cable television in rural Indiana. The Weather Channel Local On The 8s appeared in this format, as if the 90s never really left. It was relaxing, and gives me a true nostalgia for this style that I did get to experience before the death of analog television. I truly miss it. Thank you for this!
i love this.. it’s such a weird vibe. though i was not alive to experience the weather channel’s music back in the 90’s, this still feels nostalgic to me. it reminds me of a time where everything in life was good. i didn’t care about the world around me at the time; i only cared about those who were close to me.
Every summer we'd go down to visit my great uncle in florida growing up. I always liked the news stations and weather reports, they had a different vibe and different music than the midwest. It made me feel the cool breeze from the ocean, the warm sand under my feet, seeing cliche knick knack and beach shack shops everywhere, those were the perfect times.
For those of us who had Primestar back in the mid-1990s - living in rural Iowa, our "Local Forecast" segments were very different than living in a larger city. Satellite dish subscribers vs. cable subscribers. Local Forecast as a Satellite subscriber: It would go region-by-region....It would first show the latest satellite and the satellite loop for the last 6 hours? Then, it would show regional radar; current temperature spreads; 1-day regional forecast. The NE was shown first; followed by the SE; finally the Midwest; and lastly the West. I noticed during the late evening, there would be this extreme focus on "The West." No local state radar; No local watch/warning information. Same music/tunes, I'm sure. No voice-over telling you, for example, "Your local radar; showing any precipitation and its movement in the last 90 minutes....." Cable subscribers: If you lived in a community with "cable" the Local Forecast segments were as above in the video. Believe you me, it was a step up for we rural folk. As a child, I was interested in tornadoes, but always had a fear how we would be warned of a late-night tornado. Our 4 television stations went off the air around midnight to 1:00 a.m. Very rarely did they stay over for severe weather UNLESS the Des Moines Metro was in harms way. Weather radio, during that time, was basically for central Iowa and had not expanded yet. We had a "scanner" at home that had a "weather" button on it, but depending on the time of day and if it had rained or not, you wouldn't hear anything clear. We had no local weather radio site until the 2000s. The problem with severe weather and Primestar (at the time), any hint of lightning or severe weather, we had no signal. Nowadays, it's different and the worry about a late-night tornado with little or no warning is a lot less than the 1990s and prior where I lived at the time.
I'm so glad I read this! I was born in 96' and have always loved hearing about this kind of stuff. There's a tornado channel I follow on here called "Freddy McKinney" who I'm sure you may enjoy with your knowledge.
Thank you!! I've been searching so long for this music from the 90's. I used to record onto to VHS tapes. I'd sit and pause the tape so I could have just the local on the 8's music. I always loved the graphics too. Jeez, Back then I thought I was the only one who loved this music, so relaxing!! This coming from a hard core Led-Zeppelin fan... Again, thank you!!
This always reminded me of the 90’s Super Nintendo music on RPG games. Sometimes the pause button with the music in the background was just the escape I needed
If I may recommend to everyone, open a second TH-cam page that play sounds of thunderstorms or blizzards whilst also listening to this. The combination of the two really sends your mind back to a different time, sitting on the couch, under a warm blanket. Harsh weather outside the window, The Weather Channel on the TV.
This makes me remember that I started recording the Weather Channel in 1985 when I was 23 and in college. I have to get those tapes out and use the DVR so I have them duplicated, then make duplicate DVDs.
When I worked at a golf course bar, I turned all the TV's to the weather channel first thing in the morning. It was soothing and I felt it was appropriate to have at a golf course. And now, your local on the 8's...
Oh wow . . . This just . . . Hits. You know? Like, visually. It's so simple but it evokes those memories. Warm nostalgia feelings aside, it just evokes a happier and much simpler time associated with childhood. Wow.
What is the one thing I trust from the media is the weather forecast. Not only that they are honest about the conditions outside but growing up watching Japan TV on Time Warner Cable (now spectrum cable) it had a relaxing melody to them. Thinking about I wish I slept with that melody while taking nap in the living room.
Miss the days of weather an not crisis after Crisis of scaring people to make them believe they wont survive the next storm. Take us back to the 80s 90s and early 2000s 😢😊❤
I swear I became conscious one night back in 96. when I woke up and the weather was playing this music that was just hitting the g spot in my brain. I had never heard such beautiful music. I swear I was sitting there , a 5 year old with his eyes closed vibing hard to the weather channel music at 2 in the morning.
The only thing that equals this was an automatic t.v. guide channel that gave random local news updates with watercolors jazz playing in the background.
I’m glad Im not the only one who has fond memories of weather scan. I moved a lot as a child and my mom putting this on in the background around the house was always a nice bit of continuity when things were otherwise new and different. This is still a remedy for anxiety.
The weather channel is amazing. I remember when I was 5-7 during 2006-2007 just looking at it and just fascinated by the weather and the locations as a kid. 😊
After my Grandma died when I was 9 years old, my mom would leave the weather on to help me get to sleep at night. This really hits home for me.
Wow what a touching memory. Thank you for sharing 💜
This is the most wholesome comment I've read in a HOT minute. Cheers to our grandmothers and the warmth TWC brings us.
So sorry for your loss. My grandmother left me a year ago so I know how it feels
❤️🩹❤️🩹
It's not just a music genre. It's a place and a feeling.
It’s a nice space to tuck away into and it truly feels like it’s your own and it’s home. I’m glad there are others who feel this too
Well said! lol
I wish that I could go back to this point in time of my life. I would do things very differently. I would hug my mother. What happened? Where did all of this time escape?! I’m 45 and I could swear that I was 12 yesterday. 😞
...and a state of mind.
Vaporwave is unironically one of the most important musical movements of all time in my opinion
As a child I basically lived in hotels growing up (long story). The Weather Channel was the only real constant from place-to-place. It helped me greatly then. It's still helping me today.

A lot of them are still on the Weather Channel today.
Jim Cantore anyone?
Exactly. Imagine telling John Hope back in the 90s that he’d be immortalized on something called “TH-cam” in about 20 years.
It is 2024😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 you N00B!
Takes me back to my childhood. In the late 80s we had a local weather channel that was just teletext and music. No people, no fancy graphics. I was too young to appreciate how comfy it was at the time.
your profile picture is the best thing ive ever seen
How it should be!
banana tonight 😂
@@epicfox8887yep
I believe this is from the year, 1995
Every hotel TV in the 90s was by default set to the Weather Channel. 1995 was a nice summer, I was 15 and will always remember it. Back then we thought things were just going to get better.
I was 12… now I know what “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” 💭feels like 💨 & “where does the time go” I guess is next…as I’m pullin up to the Middle Ages, now. 😊
I was just thinking this same thing while listening. At the time, as a teenager, it really seemed like the sky was the limit, and our society and standard of living was going to just keep improving...
Lol, didn't we though.
Graduated high school in ‘95. Things seemed so innocent back then; it was a happier time for sure. Wish we could get back to something resembling that.
@@GooberFace32I feel the same about the 1980s.
I love how simple and clean the presentation was. No cluttered graphics. No need to always have some extreme story to cover. No episodic reality programming...
Back when cable channels had themes and stuck to them...
@@SenseiLeRoof And before Survivor introduced reality TV and every channel became plagued with shows in that "genre".
When TWC actually did weather.
Thank 9/11. They rarely used those scrolling bumpers along the bottom or extra, unrelated graphics on-screen. During 9/11, CNN (and, I'm sure, others) introduced them. News and information on TV has been presented like a ADHD nightmare collage ever since.
It's so nice to find a mix that's longer than an hour. When I was a kid I would turn on the weather channel before going to bed and would fall asleep to local on the 8s. Thanks for making this chyllvester
And no (or few) ads ❤
Thank you! So happy to hear that this weather channel mix could bring back such a comforting and nostalgic memory for you. I hope you'll consider subscribing so you can stay tuned for more 💜
Same story
@@chyllvestervery comforting
@noisetv1863
I see I’m not the only one who leaves the weather channel as background cause it’s relaxing
No you are not....
adult-hood is watching this at 2am, staring into the screen, dissociating and reminiscing about how things used to be
Precisely. The world, particularly American have gone straight to hell.
a year ago to write my college essays i would drink until the early morning watching this in the living room as white noise
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729not.the.best attitude to start the year off. To
I highly disappointed and disagree.. It's not like the past was any better especially on more points than others
@@BlueJaydenBirdnot everything about the past, but the vast majority of the past is greater than the present, and very likely today will be vastly better than what we see in the future.
Sorry. Things are trending worse and worse everyday. You can’t live in blind optimism. Reality is that things get worse and worse as time goes on.
@samino1979 you’re not the only one. Only for me, it’s 12:30 A.M. on Sunday, February 4th 2024. How I wish there was technology to quantum leap back into myself from many years ago. I would change so very much.
I predict a high probability of peaceful sleep and cozy dreams :)
At least I'm not alone in this... this channel was the vibe when it came to relaxing or taking a nap back in the 90s
I was 12 in 95. All.of the 90's hold my favorite summers ever. 1995 being especially good at that age. Just out riding my bike with my friends. So grateful to have grown up then.
10 for me! Just met my second lifelong best friend two years prior, we didn't know the sadness ahead. Good times!
I’m a 90’s kid too. Born in 81. I’m so glad I was a kid in those days compared to these days now. These kids today will never experience the awesomeness that we experienced. Just no comparison. We actually experienced what being a kid is all about. It’s not about social media and all the rest of the garbage out there.
I was 10 in 95 and it was my best year too.
why is this so weirdly calming
Because, if you're like most of us, it's nostalgic and in return makes you feel safe. Just my unprofessional opinion lol.
@@ambermaccraig7316 Yes! This is a very oddly specific type of nostalgia. It almost reminds me of childhood boredom, which somehow is still calming
@@ambermaccraig7316 There's something about the music. Very spacey, almost like a cheesy porn video.
To me it's because of the mellow beats and instruments used paired with the muffled/grainy effect over the songs. Someone else more well versed in music theory could give a better in depth explanation but that's all I got 🤾🏻♀️
It was designed to be bland yet pleasant, calming and softly positive.
Just like the sound of a security alarm going off is designed (very successfully!) to suddenly rev up your nervous system, heart rate and adrenaline!
It's known as psychoacoustic sounds or music. Designed to create a certain reaction in our nervous system.
Add to that that it's written into your brain, if you enjoyed it years ago, as a strong, nostalgic and very effective experience... full of memories, sensations. And you have something rather calmly potent for relaxing to 😊
When I listen to this it makes me feel like I'm cozy in my pajamas and eating cinnamon toast 😅
I remember watching the weather channel on the huge clunky CRT TV. I was maybe only 5 years old, but watching the weather always sparked wonder about the world in me. I even wanted to become a meteorologist for a while. Thanks for posting this.
Damn this takes me back. My brother and I used to jam so f•••ing hard to the weather channel in our room. No one else in the family understood us. They still don’t. But the weather channel music guy did.
I don't know you guys but I like you guys.
My mom had a day trip out of state and dropped me off at my neighbor's house when I was a kid back in like '98. I spent the entire time watching the weather channel in her basement. Made her life easy I guess. I actually met the on air staff back in '16 or '17, was the coolest thing.
I was born in 1991. Makes me sad that 1999 was seemingly the last great year. Some of my favorite childhood memories were those last 5 years. My sister was born in 95, family vacations, discovery. Plenty of terrible things were happening as well but the world just seemed so 1 maybe 2 dimensional. Then the 2000s started off cool but it got weird quick. Internet connected us in a way that will always keep us disconnected from the way we felt in that last decade. Peace to you all. Cool video, makes me sad or at least feel a little heavy. I too use to watch the weather channel alot. This music reminds me of spartan stores and kmart
I was born in 82, and you are correct. The 90’s were the peak of western culture. Everything took a nose dive on 9/11. I think it broke the boomers, gen x and some millennials. Then the 2008 crash broke the rest of the millennials and covid broke everyone else. The internet died sometime in the mid 2010’s and its all just a couple sites and culture is shattered.
I don’t miss being a kid, but i do miss the world before the 24hour news cycle and the instant gratification cycle of smart phones.
@@Kilthan2050 It was smart phones and social media.
2008 I got the highest paying job I've ever had so didn't bother me.
I guess 9/11 if you are American.
I was 16 at the time. Didn't really get the gravity of it until years later.
They played a key role in too. They helped solidify everything into a homogeneous mass that we see today. In some way culture seems ro have expanded, what with a million sub-genres of entertainment, but its surface level stuff. And regional/local cultures are dying because of the monoculture in the US. Little towns are losing their identity. Heck, even dialects are dying because of mass media and communications.
I drive across the US multiple times a year, and each trip it gets harder to find locally owned restaurants. Especially along the interstate highways.
Roughly 30 years later people are watching this old footage of the weather channel. Some questions I like to ponder in these moments are: who recorded all this weather channel footage? Why? How did they keep this for so long?
What about the people in the footage, what are those people doing today? What would they think of all these old recordings? Do they long for those older days too?
There was a special simplicity in the green screen styles before they had giant touch screens to aid them now. How they had to periodically look at the camera to check where they were pointing to, which made it feel like they were engaging the viewer by talking right to them. The basic graphics to display the numbers and patterns. I miss this shit along with the old scrolling TV guide channels.
I like the way your brain works
We didn't know how good we had it. We didn't know!!
It’s still good bro whatup?
@@LightnessOfTheLife It is not. WAKE UP! Lmao
@@Ultimate-Guardian. pls explain.
"WE DIDN'T LISTEN!"
I totally agree with you I believe we were blessed to have experienced those days. I miss them now more than ever before.
The further we get from the 90s, the more we want to go back.
Being in the 90s never felt so chill and cozy! 😌👌
Those were some good times in the 90s to early 00s
this went til 08-09 but ok
The 90s were better times than today, by most measures.
I graduated high school in 95. This brings back so many nostalgic memories...We used to have the weather channel playing in the background in the house. The funny thing was that I didn't even like the music on the weather channel back then, but the flood of memories this brings is unreal. That was a great time to be alive.
I remember this EXACT day. 11 July 1995. I was 14. It was the day we left to see Springfield, IL from the Chicago Area.
I remember that July. My sister had a complete and total mental breakdown
@@fredharvey2720 Geeze, sorry to hear that, man.
I was 34....... yeah, I'm an old fart. Seems like yesterday.
@@dapawaz8310 Man, I wish it WAS yesterday.. I miss the '90s so bad. And the '80s.

This inspired me to make new music that sounds old
Absolutelly yes. Our childhood
Everything was a vibe back then, wish I could’ve been around for it.
Also, I looked on the calendar to see which year in the 90s that July 11th fell on a Tuesday and it was 1995 ;)
Wow. I had just turned 12, July 10th 🥰 fond memories of being a kid back then.
Thank you for looking that up! I was 8 years old lol. Makes me miss the 90s. I was blissfully ignorant of the world, just excited for mom to take me to the local gas station so that I could rent Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles (yes gas stations renting out games was a thing, a least in Alabama).
@@JCMPRadio For a while in the early 90's ALL the grocery stores around rented out games and music. Though, that started going away once Blockbuster and Hollywood Video moved into the area.
Nah, if you'd been around for it you wouldn't have appreciated it. I had just turned 14 when this aired, and we were cynical and ironic about everything. Which is sort of sad in hindsight because we had no idea how good we had it.
Thank you! That was my son’s 14th birthday. 😊
Remember going to the weather channel and just watching weather stuff?
Man.. i miss that
I used to like watching it and also the "community bulletin" channel which was a bunch of local ad listings and events, the music would be similar too. Something about watching it late at night as a kid was something I enjoyed a lot but couldn't really explain properly why
When TWC actually did weather.
@@Pendarr I was one of them. Though I learned not to talk about it to others because most just called me "boring" for doing that
I come back here to hangout every once in awhile. Feels like visiting a childhood home at a time when everything was ok, dreams had no limit, and life made sense.
Stay in that place. It’s all still possible 💜
This feels so creepy and comforting at the same time
welcome to the 90s
Just comfy for me tbh
Look up Twin Peaks intro if you're not already familiar with it
Here in the Back Rooms, it feels Cozy.
analog horror and it's consequences
Bro, I literally would sleep to old-school Weather Channel. It rocked back then. Why does everything suck these days?
idk but solar flares exist and were making everything digital so i got faith
Everything
praying for a solar flare lmao maybe we’ll all go back to analog tech. At least I hope so, the world would be better off without everything being centered around the internet. How jealous I am of the folks who got to experience life before 2005 im so sick and tired of everyone and everything being centered around the internet and god how I wish I was born 50 years earlier as dumb as it sounds these times seemed so much easier and enjoyable as much as they had they’re problems and drawbacks life seemed to move a little slower and everyone looked happier, I find a weird attachment to videos like this they’re almost windows to a world that wasn’t all that long ago but feels so far out of reach. It’s odd to be nostalgic for a time you’ve never know, it’s quite the odd feeling to be honest as long as I can remember I’ve felt this way, maybe it’s the rose colored glasses i see through when I watch old movies or it could be the melancholy retelling of my older family members youth, I can’t help but be slightly jealous of their experience. The stories they tell from long ago of random antics with friends and certain things that are impossible to experience now are just so extremely interesting. And I think about these things often about how different it would’ve been if I was born just a little bit earlier. But I guess a boy can wish lol
bec it isnt the jazz era anymore 💀 ppls preferences change but i def think they should bring back old music to weather channels and stores instead of loud rap thats about ass or sex or how tight their vaj is 🚶not trashing it but cmon u wanna hear that all the time? thats more of a personal time thing

Man i miss the 90s old classic quality of television so much😇
Senior year of high school (1993-1994), I took a Chemistry AP class, which was held after lunch. Sometimes I would sneak out of the cafeteria and head up to class because I knew my teacher (Mr. Mazer) would be there. Why would I sneak away from friends to hang out with a teacher? First, I didn't have many friends. Second, he wasn't your typical teacher. He was heavily into music and even played guitar. He was into more of the old school Stevie Ray Vaughan stuff; he even had a poster of SRV (and Hendrix!!!) hung in the back of the classroom. While he had the old influence, I was into newer, more indie stuff, but he was open-minded enough to give it a listen and actually wound up having some interesting things to say about the music I shared with him. At any rate, he would eat his lunch in the classroom. Without fail, whenever I went to join him, he had on the Weather Channel. Listening to this now takes me right back to those days, when the only responsibility I really had was homework, and I thought having no friends or romantic attachments were the world's biggest problems. In senior year, I was able to get away with taking only 5 or 6 classes, so my day ended after Chem AP. The thing is, the buses didn't come until after 7th and 8th period, so when the weather got better, I would walk home. My mom and stepdad didn't get home until maybe an hour after me, so I would put on the Weather Channel at home, and it was like I was still hanging out with Mr. Mazer. Now that I play this again, it still feels that way.
Wow thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing the impact good teachers can have on our lives 💜
Mr. Mazer, what an incredible name
when i was a kid i was like obsessed with the weather channel, probably just because it was the least stimulating thing on tv and i constantly needed to chill out
aww i was born in 2001 and by the time i was old enough to actually work the channels myself (going outside of the few channels i was allowed to/wanted to watch) this didn't really exist. this is still really good and makes me nostalgic for a time i wasn't part of.
You’re here now. That’s all that matters 💜
that's not nostalgia u just like smooth jazz dumfk
@@jasonanderson5034 you are wrong on so many levels it's not even worth it to point out the extent of it. ignore this guy. ♡ that you can appreciate and find peace in something that so many of us feel a sense of bittersweet sadness over (things truly were better in a million ways) it means you have a direct connection to the same feeling that all of us are kind of grieving now. it means it's both not really gone and also timeless.
@xXluluchanelXx u got huge issues to respond like that ... can't handle facts u nut job .. it's not nostalgia for you because u weren't alive nor did u witness this years ago u said it yourself .. maybe we need a word to define this situation but it isn't nostalgia. I feel the same way about time periods before I was born but it's not nostalgia get over it
sqme
I am an '04 baby, and I never really got to experience this music by the time I was old enough to remember the weather channel. But strangely, I feel nostalgic for this music. It's almost as if I really lived when the weather channel used this music. It's very calming. They should bring it back.
I wasn’t a 90’s baby but this gives me a huge wave of nostalgia
Something that me and my friend did for our video creation class Sophomore year was use 90’s weather vapor wave as background music
This is pure nostalgia
This is why us millennials like Lofi music 😂
😂 true
I agree 😂
My Mom use to watch the weather channel all the time, especially during hurricane season. I never thought seeing/hearing old school weather channel from the 90's would make me emotional.
Did she get swept away by the hurricane? 🥺
From a 90s kid, I thank you deeply.
I miss this when I was young… I don’t really like the current Weather Channel we have today, but I do enjoy Weather Nation. The music on there is nice some times
The first broadcast shown in the video is from July 11th, 1995. At O'Hare Int'l Airport, it was 69 degrees at 5 am, but it was already 73 degrees by 6 am. This lines up with the forecast.
How did you figure that out?
@@MyPalJimbo I looked up the years that Wednesday, July 11th fell on. From there, I looked at the weather on all the possible July 11ths, and found that this one lined up with the weather on July 11th, 1995.
As someone on the spectrum , there was always something calming about the weather channel it helps my mind slow down relax finally find that wave and ride it out
This reminds me of vacations with my parents and staying in a motel room with this on. I loved it.
We did not watch TV at home. They did not consider this channel as watching TV.
This is a blessing I feel so at peace. Thank you for this. NEVER delete this
I love watching the local weather channels whenever I stay in hotels; This makes me wanna go for a trip.
Do it!
i will start doing that. feel like it puts you in a travle mood!
Me too 😊 glad I’m not alone

Good times are coming again. There's a 40-year cycle that nobody really lives long enough to notice. We're past the worst.
@@dansands8140That’s what I’ve always thought myself. When do you think the last low point was?
@@tbpjmr2869 1969-1980, absolute low point being probably 1973. I wasn't alive yet and nobody talks about the bad times, including history books, so it's hard for me to say for sure.
good times are not coming and your 40 year cycle is a myth. the world is in a state right now never seen before. there is no other comarable era in history. we are genuinely breaking new ground. systems are falling apart across the world socially, economically, and politically. it gets worse before it gets worse. if you check real metrics and data there isnt anything suggesting good times are coming, quite the opposite and im not just being alarmist. we gotta stop pretending like shits just gonna work itself out because it wont. darkness is growing across the world and thats a fact. war is brewing across the planet. if anything id say we are at the neginning of a modern dark age. people cannot speak freely and are targeted for going against the grain. double speak is becoming a real thing. we are in a state of crisis. we are not past the worst, that just makes you feel better. stop seeking comfort and do something about anything.@@dansands8140
dudes fucking tripping we have never seen anything like this is human history, the entire planet is a powder keg about to blow right now. youd have to be flat out ignorant to see that we are one bad week away from world war. 40 year cycle? was there 40 years between the two biggest wars in human history? stop coping and do something about anything. the world is not doing ok right now and its not just gonna get better. we take it for granted and act like it cant all come tumbling down in an instant. we all saw how fragile society is during covid@@tbpjmr2869
this comment session felt like home when i discovered that I'm not the only one who leaves the weather on to relax me!
Putting this on late at night back then almost felt like time stood still. And for me, I didn't want it to end.
wasnt alive in the 90s but that doesn't stop me from making up fake memories

The Weather Channel, Garfield and Friends, Winne the Pooh, Disney, and Dinosaurs is one of the first things I remember looking at as a toddler. XD
The Weather Channel was among my favorites for some reason.
For real: I just love this. I would like more channels to have this kind of relaxing music, while also having an unintentionally ingrained lo-fi touch to it. This video is so chill and I never want it to disappear.
This fills me with fake nostalgia so hard. I really feel like i was born in the wrong generation. Thanks for this relaxing experience.
It was as magical as it looks. It was kind of euphoric thinking back to those times

When I was like 6 - 9 years old I became obsessed with the weather channel (this was from 2010 to 2012) and I wanted to become a weatherwoman. Listening to this makes me miss 2010-2012 Weather Channel. Back when times were good
A wise man once said: "The best weather forecast is the one you see out the window."
I’m buying a 13” CRT tv on eBay and leaving this on loop on a sunny corner of my kitchen. 😎
This reminds me of waking up early with my dad in the 80s and 90s just to be awake at the same time as him before he went to work. His morning ritual was coffee and The Weather Channel. Really brings me back...
😔can we please just go back to when things were so much simpler…when life seemed so much more fun and worth experiencing…this really hits home when you sit and close your eyes to reminisce about the old times…those memories we stored away in our minds that we thought wouldn’t hold much significance or bring us the same feelings we had back then to today’s times…looking back to when times felt so much more fulfilling…vibrant…worthwhile…maybe life is meant to be this way…experiencing the moments we never realized would mean so much down the line in life…wishing we could have one day back in the past to relive those moments we thought would last forever…😔…moments with those whom we’ve lost…moments that made us who we are today…man, life is a trip…crazy how the visuals and audio from one video can have you reliving so many past events and getting all nostalgic 🥺😮💨
i find this music to be really eerie. like, i really enjoy it -- don't get me wrong. but my brain keeps anticipating it to abruptly stop for a severe weather warning haha
No personalities, no over the top forecasts and no farkin' politics. Just sooo chill. And I used to have suits like they were wearing. Nobody wears suits anymore.
Nostalgic and safe. Two words that describe what I'm feeling right now listening to this. Thank you for posting. Countless nights I slept to this channel's muzak, I found it comforting. Smh, I miss those nights, those times entirely.
if only weather channels could still be like this today.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a meteorologist. I was (and still am) fascinated by weather patterns and the tools used to predict severe weather. I once recall doing an impromptu “weather report” on a beach in a tropical storm, completely unbothered by the pounding rain.
Bonus: I grew up in a state with frequent severe weather and tornadoes, so I was less terrified of severe weather and more interested in it. Probably saved my folks a few sleepless stormy nights lol!
My grandfather was a meteorologist during the Oklahoma city bombing and he got me into weather when I was 10 yrs old and I'm 42 now and still live and breath weather especially sever weather.
Finding this on a random Tuesday at 35 yrs old. My heart is smiling but a little sad too
The fact there's a niche for 90s TWC is awesome! Glad I'm not the only one.
I remember in 1993,I was sick and hone from school and finished watching "Hey Dude!" on Nickelodeon and decided to flip channels. For some reason I stopped on TWC and it all took off from there.
I cant thank you enough for this. Tho alot ofbthis spunds like more self produced "wave" music,it still fits those TWC vibes precisely. It definitely takes me back to those days.
Every night in high school this was the only thing to get me to sleep back in the 90's.
need you to know how excited i am on this one.... TWC was my favorite thing to watch growing up and now without cable i miss it so much. even better bc nostalgia.
Very nice. I was born in 1997, so I don't have much memory of the 90s. However, there was a period of time in the 2000s where I would stay up and just watch the Weather Channel at night, constantly losing myself in the Local On The 8s. My Grandma had analog cable television in rural Indiana. The Weather Channel Local On The 8s appeared in this format, as if the 90s never really left. It was relaxing, and gives me a true nostalgia for this style that I did get to experience before the death of analog television. I truly miss it. Thank you for this!
Thanks to climate change, now you can be as nostalgic for the temperatures as the music!
😂 😭
The cool summer days that begged a light jacket truly were something.
Kilderok , Cool summer days ? Come to the Maine Coast for a summer visit.
Eastport, Maine. Dont forget that jacket !! @@kilderok
Lived in Chicago when we first got cable (1988 I think) and watched exactly this for hours...thanks for the flashback 😊
i love this.. it’s such a weird vibe. though i was not alive to experience the weather channel’s music back in the 90’s, this still feels nostalgic to me. it reminds me of a time where everything in life was good. i didn’t care about the world around me at the time; i only cared about those who were close to me.
The positivity of the era comes through in the music from that era.
Every summer we'd go down to visit my great uncle in florida growing up. I always liked the news stations and weather reports, they had a different vibe and different music than the midwest. It made me feel the cool breeze from the ocean, the warm sand under my feet, seeing cliche knick knack and beach shack shops everywhere, those were the perfect times.
For those of us who had Primestar back in the mid-1990s - living in rural Iowa, our "Local Forecast" segments were very different than living in a larger city. Satellite dish subscribers vs. cable subscribers.
Local Forecast as a Satellite subscriber:
It would go region-by-region....It would first show the latest satellite and the satellite loop for the last 6 hours?
Then, it would show regional radar; current temperature spreads; 1-day regional forecast.
The NE was shown first; followed by the SE; finally the Midwest; and lastly the West.
I noticed during the late evening, there would be this extreme focus on "The West."
No local state radar; No local watch/warning information. Same music/tunes, I'm sure. No voice-over telling you, for example, "Your local radar; showing any precipitation and its movement in the last 90 minutes....."
Cable subscribers:
If you lived in a community with "cable" the Local Forecast segments were as above in the video.
Believe you me, it was a step up for we rural folk. As a child, I was interested in tornadoes, but always had a fear how we would be warned of a late-night tornado. Our 4 television stations went off the air around midnight to 1:00 a.m. Very rarely did they stay over for severe weather UNLESS the Des Moines Metro was in harms way. Weather radio, during that time, was basically for central Iowa and had not expanded yet. We had a "scanner" at home that had a "weather" button on it, but depending on the time of day and if it had rained or not, you wouldn't hear anything clear. We had no local weather radio site until the 2000s.
The problem with severe weather and Primestar (at the time), any hint of lightning or severe weather, we had no signal.
Nowadays, it's different and the worry about a late-night tornado with little or no warning is a lot less than the 1990s and prior where I lived at the time.
I'm so glad I read this! I was born in 96' and have always loved hearing about this kind of stuff. There's a tornado channel I follow on here called "Freddy McKinney" who I'm sure you may enjoy with your knowledge.
Im afraid I’m gonna listen to this the whole way through it’s so good I’m only on 40 minutes
You are beautiful (:
Bro you talkin bout the dog aight?
My brother loved the weather channel and we always knew when he’d come home from college because the tv would be on it and blaring haha

Thank you!! I've been searching so long for this music from the 90's. I used to record onto to VHS tapes. I'd sit and pause the tape so I could have just the local on the 8's music. I always loved the graphics too. Jeez, Back then I thought I was the only one who loved this music, so relaxing!!
This coming from a hard core Led-Zeppelin fan...
Again, thank you!!
You’re in good company 🤘
This always reminded me of the 90’s Super Nintendo music on RPG games. Sometimes the pause button with the music in the background was just the escape I needed
Huge part of my childhood, almost became a meteorologist and a storm chaser.. ❤
If I may recommend to everyone, open a second TH-cam page that play sounds of thunderstorms or blizzards whilst also listening to this. The combination of the two really sends your mind back to a different time, sitting on the couch, under a warm blanket. Harsh weather outside the window, The Weather Channel on the TV.
This makes me remember that I started recording the Weather Channel in 1985 when I was 23 and in college. I have to get those tapes out and use the DVR so I have them duplicated, then make duplicate DVDs.
Have u duplicated them yet?
Update?
videos like these should be checkpoints on youtube
When I worked at a golf course bar, I turned all the TV's to the weather channel first thing in the morning. It was soothing and I felt it was appropriate to have at a golf course. And now, your local on the 8's...
Oh wow . . . This just . . . Hits. You know? Like, visually. It's so simple but it evokes those memories. Warm nostalgia feelings aside, it just evokes a happier and much simpler time associated with childhood. Wow.
My great aunt watch this channel every day. Going to visit her always brought me joy and peace. Rest in peace, tia
I wasn't around in the 90s, but this is oddly relaxing, i was born in 05, thanks for this
I was in 06. It’s really a thing how things in the past can be so nostalgic, even if we weren’t around at the time.
@ryabirdie3095 exactly what I'm saying it's awesome
What is the one thing I trust from the media is the weather forecast. Not only that they are honest about the conditions outside but growing up watching Japan TV on Time Warner Cable (now spectrum cable) it had a relaxing melody to them.
Thinking about I wish I slept with that melody while taking nap in the living room.
Miss the days of weather an not crisis after Crisis of scaring people to make them believe they wont survive the next storm. Take us back to the 80s 90s and early 2000s 😢😊❤
2001 was when all that started...
I swear I became conscious one night back in 96. when I woke up and the weather was playing this music that was just hitting the g spot in my brain. I had never heard such beautiful music. I swear I was sitting there , a 5 year old with his eyes closed vibing hard to the weather channel music at 2 in the morning.
The only thing that equals this was an automatic t.v. guide channel that gave random local news updates with watercolors jazz playing in the background.
Idk Why, but this music makes all my anxieties chill out for a little while 🤷🏿♂️🤔😊.
That's what its here for ☺
you got this bro
The first song is so good..
I’m glad Im not the only one who has fond memories of weather scan. I moved a lot as a child and my mom putting this on in the background around the house was always a nice bit of continuity when things were otherwise new and different. This is still a remedy for anxiety.
The flashbacks but I’m from the era of watching TWC since about 2005 or 2006 😭💙
TWC is timeless
Good to know the Weather Channel has been there for us at some point in our lives.
I was never alive for this era but this is just so soothing
The weather channel is amazing. I remember when I was 5-7 during 2006-2007 just looking at it and just fascinated by the weather and the locations as a kid. 😊
Omg does this bring me back. My family always had this on in the background. Every. Day. 😵💫
