It’s like eeEEeeek!
The storm is one of my recent songs. It has some really high notes that are held out. It took many takes to get them right, but I managed.
The Storm
by Timothy Price
[Verse 1]
Riding on the edge of night
Rainbow storms play on left
Sun shines on the right
[Chorus]
Light bounces off gray clouds
Shadows cling to the ground
Dead trees stare at useless rain
Much too late to ease the pain
[Verse 2]
Standing against the wind
Vultures circle overhead
Wishing my demise
[Bridge]
Angels ride
On lightning bolts
The gods argue
Their thunder rolls
Primary colors
Come undone
Trying to calm
The violence
Of the sun
[Outro]
Light bounces off gray clouds
Shadows cling to the ground
Dead trees stare at useless rain
Much too late to ease the pain
May’s Flower Moon
Dusk
Off Center & Not Even 
Tim – you have captured the apocalypse brilliantly!!!
Thanks, Rebecca. You picked up on the symbolic meaning of an actual ride that inspired the poem and the song. It’s fairly common to have sunshine and rain at the same time out here. The wind was so strong that evening, I was at a standstill at times, riding against it. I found it disheartening to see vultures circling overhead, while I was struggling to move forward. When I put the song together, it seemed perfect for our times of stormy pessimism on one side, and sunny optimism on the other, that give people pause, while vultures are always circling, planning our demise.
Fun video and great photos Tim!
Thanks, Brad.
El Cheo strikes again!
That first note got me hyped! Lyrics went hard, really liked the song 🤘
Thanks, Criag. I’m happy you liked the song.
Ah… ‘The Storm’ gave me the energy I needed to start me up this morning. And the espresso will keep the energy flowing for a few hours…
Always happy to help get you going in the morning. Thanks, Herman.
Great video, Tim! The colours of the storm are beautiful!
Dusk I mean 😩🤦♀️
Dusk was a smal storm so you got it right.
Thanks, Becky.
Cool video! You amaze me!
Thanks, Nancy. I appreciate that.
Wow, Tim… those are some pretty high killer notes indeed, bravo!!!!!
Brilliant video and Moon and dusk. A joy trio!
They were a lot of work to hit. Thanks, Marina.
Very very well done!!!!
Wow! That is one heck of a wild ride Tim. Brilliantly done.
It was for sure. Thanks, Miriam.
Good job, Tim, especially those high notes! Well done!
The flower moon was beautiful. I got to see it briefly last night.
Thanks, Lavinia. I’m happy you got to see the flower moon.
I like your song a lot, from the howling intro to the howling crescendo, and the striking lightning and stark landscapes I enjoyed it all. 🙂
Thanks, Barbara. I like howling.
What a great video!
Thnks, Dawn.
You hit the high notes with aggressive enthusiasm, Timothy. Perfect.
Thanks, Cheyanne. It took so doing to do it.
You certainly managed to get high,
Timothy ☑️ as you kissed the sky 🎶 😎
“Excuse me while I kiss the sky!” I saw a bit of purple haze after eking out those high notes. Thanks, David.
“You’re excused, Timothy.” ~ Jimi 😎
The music is great and is perfect with the title……..
Thanks, Janet.
Another brilliant execution, Tim, bravo!👏
Thanks, Tiffany. I appreciate that.
Sorry to be late for the debut of this terrific song, Tim. I know you had to work to build up the higher range for your vocal cords. It really paid off. Terrific! Hugs.
Thanks, Teagan.
love the visuals; song’s not bad either — though some of the high notes are a bit of a strain 🙂
A bit of a strain puts in mildly. It was a major strain. I had to put the old cajones in a vice to hit those high notes. Thanks, John.
Great! Your voice is nice’n’ strong in this one.
Fab song, cool lyrics!
May’s Flower Moon is gorgeous. Thanks Tim! xx
Thanks, Resa. You are welcome.
Very creative and those are some funky vultures. Has that Swedish death metal vibe. I won’t ask what you had to do to hit such high notes ha.
Let’s just say the high notes involved a couple of C-clamps. Those are funky vultures. They were influenced by the Funky Chicken. Thanks, Brian.
