Certainly the young singer\u2019s country pedigree is pure, with his father being Hank Williams Jr. In fact, the poignant song was written by Bocephus and first appeared on his 1981 album, <em>The Pressure Is On<\/em>. <\/p>\n<p>Williams filmed in London while touring with Cam. Take a look at our Q&amp;A below the video player.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CMT: What do you remember most about the shoot for this video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Williams: This was at the biggest show I\u2019ve ever played at the O2 Shepherd\u2019s Bush Empire Hall in London. I was painfully nervous but that night that I understood I was there for a reason. I realized I was meant to pour my heart out for people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the video bring your song to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This live version shows the raw emotion in the song and my face. It\u2019s not some track I did to get attention; I did it because it\u2019s true for me. When I say \u2018I need some blue skies and sunshine,\u2019 I mean it, and I feel that comes across. <\/p>\n<p><strong>What message do you hope your fans take away from the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d say I hope people see I\u2019m in music for authenticity, not for selling my name. My dad wrote this song and I carefully chose to cover this one because of how relevant it is for me. This video marks a time in my life that I\u2019m pulling through. People hopefully can tell I\u2019m not faking any voice, style, or emotion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it feel to see the finished product for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Seeing the final was sick because I was almost in another place on stage, it being the biggest show I\u2019ve done. I could tell the song connected and people were intrigued with a young kid from Tennessee. Videographer Sam Lees killed it.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1813543\/sam-williams-pours-his-heart-out-in-weatherman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 7m ago We\u2019re predicting that you might get chills from \u201cWeatherman (Live From London),\u201d the new video from up-and-coming musician Sam Williams.
