Skirmish: The Most Amazing Storm (@wylddandelyon)

Liner Notes

I recorded a video, but my internet is slow as molasses. Will upload as soon as I can.

Lyrics

listen
for the wind blows strong again
and the air it smells of rain
and we've been thru all of this before

so I tell you

listen
for luck is knocking on your door
like it has never done before
and this time it's here to stay

here comes the most amazing storm
this time nothing can wrong
we've set our sails and we know the way
tell me how could this go astray?

listen
hear the rain that falls from above
playing a song that speaks of love
oh we've been thru all of this before

but

listen
this time the wind comes from the east
and it's a force we cant' resist
everything aligned with all the stars

here comes the most amazing storm
this time how could things go wrong
we've set our sails, so sail away
to the sea be it night or day

we're past the doldrums
something's bound to happen
I know we're soon
going to find the land we're looking for

so

listen
for the wind blows strong again
and the air it smells of rain
and we've been thru all of this before

I like the rhythm of your strum and the interesting chord changes. Pretty melody - and the repetition on "listen" is very effective. I like the optimism in the lyric, and it comes across in the music as well.

I really like the repetition of "listen" here -- you've used it just the right number of times, in just the right places. I love how we end with the sensory image of the air smelling with rain "and we've been thru all of this before" -- gorgeous.

I like the soaring melody, like a a bird in the air before an autumn rain. This was a good recommendation.

This is indeed really wonderful- I love the image of a big storm being a good thing, blowing its way right into our hearts... the music and vocal performance brings out all the emotion of the lyric, too- I really like the vocal you're doing here.

Super positive love song. Good use of storm and weather images.
Interesting how your storm is going to be an affirmative experience for your two sailors. Though perhaps we shouldn't encourage them to set off into the coming storm, unless, of course, it's merely a simile for the passion they are about to experience.

There's an optimism pervading this that's unusual for songs about storms; makes me think of upheaval and tumult as something good, as a way of shaking new ideas and possibilities out of a reality that's become stolid and brittle.

Did you see Astronomy Picture of the Day yesterday? It's a shot of an amazing storm... https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap230918.html
