In his Bandstocks private gig, Patrick explained that Stephen was a poet he knew and that 'The Sun is Often Out' was the name of one of his poems.
For me this is the most moving songs on the album, the lyrics suggest disappointment and frustration aimed at stephen for giving up so easily and committing suicide, but also, in the repeated lines 'the sun is often out', the need to undrstand and forgive him. It's so full of battling emotions...perhaps one of the battles Patrick was originally going to name the album for?
