about
Storm is a haunting array of shadows and dark colour. It's a moody piece and a reflection on the troubles of life, as well as our ability to miscommunicate. It invites the listener to ponder, and calls for discussion as oppose to argument.
It contains ambient guitar lines, reminiscent banjo, driving rhythms and haunting vocals.
lyrics
STORM
Intro
Verse
I don’t think I can handle the storm, as the winds beat against me.
The battles been ragin’ I’ve seen men go down, both friend and enemy.
Pre Chorus
But I am not your enemy
I am not your enemy
Chorus
But the storm came down, down, down and tore my friends away
The storm came down, down, down I did not listen to the words that you’d say.
These cultural constructs, of man made religion are tearing us apart
It’s not black and white and we need conversation but the dogs continue to bark.
Verse 2
I can’t see the land, I don’t have the power, and you don’t have the will.
I can’t change the wind as it blows through the sails, so I keep on strugglin’
Pre Chorus
But I am not your enemy
I am not your enemy
Chorus
But the storm came down, down, down and tore my friends away
The storm came down, down, down I did not listen to the words that you’d say.
These cultural constructs, of man made religion are tearing us apart
It’s not black and white and we need conversation but the dogs continue to bark.
But the storm came down.
Bridge
The storm came down.
Chorus
But the storm came down, down, down and tore my friends away
The storm came down, down, down I did not listen to the words that you’d say.
But neither did you.
