Discover the story of the song > 1816, The Year Without a Summer – Rasputina

The song is about a time in history called the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816 when the weather was very unpredictable and it caused a lot of problems. The protagonist Mary Shelley had to stay inside and wrote the book Frankenstein because of it. The bad weather made it hard for people to grow food which caused people and animals to go hungry. Some people blamed the bad weather on things like a conspiracy or experiments with electricity, but it was really caused by a volcano eruption.
