Thunder and Lightning

Liner Notes
Got this one done the last week of FAWM, but I wanted to re-record the demo before I posted it. Got it to the point where I felt I could at least post it as a demo to convey the idea, but I want to re-do it and fill out the arrangement. Sadly, I'm out of time for that here...but I may add some piano, drums, cello, we'll see. Here it is a little late, hope you like it.
Lyrics
Haven't I seen you somewhere? Let me look you in the eye There's a story there Reads like something from another life
When the unknown was exciting And eighteen knew it's own pain Thunder and lightning Wind and rain
Always yours for the taking And you always take me as I am You fill me up to breaking Then turn around and bleed the dam
So powerful, it's frightening So blessed and afraid Thunder and lightning Wind and rain
And I remember the first time I remember when my whole life began to turn I remember watching for the sky to strike I remember waiting for the world to burn
And when you hold me late at night I still feel just the same Thunder and lightning Wind and rain
'Cause when you glance my way You shake the walls inside You gather all the gray And the heavens open wide
I'm taken by the storm Been swept up and soaked through So hide me in your arms I'll shelter here with you
This is a great sounding recording! Can’t believe its a zong.. great imagery and feeling. The focus and simplicity really pushes the lyrics. Well written and executed.
