Lately, when I write a song, I make a version of the music for me and a version for Teagan. Teagan’s version of The Storm is difficult because it has a wide vocal range and requires a powerful voice. Teagan nailed the range with her powerful vocals.
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

Wow! What a haunting beautiful song! You did a wonderful job with the lyrics, Tim. Teagan’s voice was very powerful in this song!
The video was great!
You two should do an album together! ☺️
You are so kind, Becky — thank you. LOL… with the right key I’m loud whether or not I want to be, and this song was in that key. I was afraid I had blown up my microphone the first time I recorded it.
It’s such a great song. Thanks for listening and commenting. Big hugs.
Thanks, Becky. Teagan did a wonderful job with the song and the video. We have enough material for an album.
How totally beautiful! What an amazing collaboration. Talented bloggers rcck!!! Bravo Teagan & Timothy!
You gave me a big smile, Cindy. Thanks. Hugs.
Thanks, Cindy. I’m happy you like it.
Teagan and Tim, another amazing collaboration. Thank you for sharing here.
Thanks, Susan. I’m happy you liked it.
Thanks for your encouragement, Susan. Hugs.

You are so kind Tim — thank you. I really love this gorgeous song, and it was a pleasure to get to sing it. Thanks for putting up with my limitations. You did terrific work on the production. Hugs.
Thank you, Teagan, for working with me and doing such a great job with the song.
You have no limits, Teagan! Only the ones you put on yourself. You and Tim have a great collaboration going!
Thanks, Lavinia. Tim has been very tolerant of my issues (limitations) that come from agoraphobia and C-PTSD. They are things most people can’t get their head around, and so, won’t work with. Hugs.
Hugs back! to you and the kitties! 🙂❤️🐱🐱
Singing is great therapy. It’s the only reason I sing, and I will torment you all with my awful voice. Teagan rises to the challenges and always delivers great vocals.
Yes, she does!
Singing is a great sustainer of life and reliever of tension. You do fine, Tim.
Tim, there are songs for every voice. It’s a joy to hear you sing your terrific songs.
This is a very emotional sounding song. Beautiful. Your creative collaboration with Teagan is always a success.
Hi, Herman. Tim’s lyrics spoke to me on several levels. I appreciate your kind words. Hugs.
Thanks, Herman.
WOW. This is amazing. What a power of work– every aspect of it. From the words, to the video, to Teagan’s voice. The tune… Everything Timothy. The true power of blogging that you can both create something like this and bring it to your followers.
You are so kind, Shey — thanks. Yes, blogging is wonderful for collaborations. Hugs.
Teagn, I believe in calling it like I see it. and your voice was brilliant here.
Thanks for the wonderful comment, Shey. Teagan did a great job on the vocals and video.
She did indeed and she she had great material to work with too.
This is a great song, Tim and Teagan is the perfect person to sing it. Everything about this song combined in a complementary way. Thanks for sending my morning off in the right direction.
Thanks for the great comment, Dan. We are happy to get you off in the right direction this morning.
Thank you for these kind words, Dan. It’s such a great song.
LOL, I’m still stumbling around, looking for my other mug of coffee. I’m delighted that this post got your morning shining. Hugs.
Wow, you two, what a powerful song! From the composition, to the lyrics, amazing Teagan’s voice and production, pure perfection! Bravo to both!
Thank you kindly, Marina. That means a lot to me. Tim really captured the current moment with the song — along with an Is/Was/Will-Be feeling. Hugs.
Thanks, Marina. Teagan did great with the vocals and video.
Wow, what a pair you two are! Such talent!! 🎶🎶
Thanks, CP. Teagan nailed the vocals and produced a great video.
Huge thanks, GP. I really appreciate all your support. Big hugs.
Wow from me too! And I also agree with the comment about an album. This is a collaboration that keeps giving and getting better and better. Thanks, Tim and Teagan for sharing your inspiring music and vocals with us. ♥
Thanks for your wwonderful comment, Olga.
What wonderful feedback, Olga. Heartfelt thanks for this comment, and for all your support. Big hugs from the Scoobies and me.
I enjoyed the vocals and the lyrics, Tim and Teagan. A very powerful performance.

Wonderful track.

Thanks, rabirius. Teagan has a beautiful and unique voice.
This is fabulous. I left a comment on YT 🌅
Many thanks, Robbie. Hugs.
My pleasure, Teagan.
I saw the comment. Thanks, Robbie.
My pleasure, Timothy. Congratulations to you both.
This is a spectacular collaboration, Tim and Teagan. There is an awesomeness to the lyrics and music. Teagan – you have an amazing voice. I agree with Tim that you have the voice for this message!
This is such a lovely comment, Rebecca. Thank you — and thanks for taking a moment to spend time with us here. Hugs on the wing.
I saw this video first on YouTube and have come back to it several times!!! Sending many hugs back on speedy wings (I am doing my exercises)
Thanks for your wonderful comment, Rebecca.
Loved this Tim.. So powerful … Tegan’s voice is awesome! 👏
You are so kind, Cindy — thank you. Hugs.
You’re so welcome Teagan most deserved🩷
Thanks, Cindy.
And not to forget, you’re amazing filming, Tim

Teagan made the video. I was so happy she took it upon herself to make the video, and did a great job.
How about that. That’s awesome. Great lyrics for sure for sure.😎
Teagan’s voice and visuals were so compelling that I took a look back at Timothy’s original version. Equally compelling, especially shrieking out the high notes. Well done both of you.
Thanks, Cheyenne. It’s great that Teagan doesn’t have to shriek to hit the high notes.
Thank you kindly, Cheyenne. I tried to tell a story with the images. It was a lot of work to get them to come in at the right moment with the music. I’m happy you liked it. Yes, the version where Tim sang is absolutely cool. Hugs
That is a hauntingly beautiful melody, Tim. Beautiful video, Tim, as are Teagan’s rich, dynamic vocals. The two of you are very talented, and great collaborators. I look forward to hearing more!
We finally got some soaking rain up here this afternoon.
Hi Lavinia. I love that Tim writes the kind of songs that stick with you — in a musical way, but also in the spirit. Heartfelt thanks for your wonderful encouragement.
There’s nothing like a good soaking rain! I’m glad you got that. Many places in NM are getting rain. It’s all around me, but skipping over my town. Not quite as many weeds that way, I guess. LOL. Hugs on the wing.
Tim is a Force of Nature, a binder of souls. Hugs on the wing!
Aww! Thanks for the sweet comment Lavinia.
Teagan made the video. She really has a powerful voice in the key of F#m. Her vocals are fantastic. Thanks, Lavinia.
Teagan is amazing, as are you!
Wow… beautiful.
Thank you Gigi. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs.
Thanks, Gigi.
Wow, Teagan, this is your best performance yet.
It seems the more you sing the better you get.
It’s a fab song, Tim. The lyrics are a storm. You are definitely writing to Teagan’s strong points.
The video is terrific. Well done you 2!
T’n’T
T’n’T is dyn-o-mite! It really is one of Teagan’s best performances. We found the right key, and she nailed it. Thanks, Resa.
👍🌟
You are so kind, Resa — thank you. Tim’s song really is brilliant. It put bits of a fantasy story in my head — one that I’m not able to write or fully see, but I could feel characters. That’s why I made the video… to sort of tell the story. So I’m happy you like it.
I sing karaoke most evenings. It’s good vocal and breathing exercise, but a good stress/anxiety relief too. Hugs on the wing. 🕊
Karaoke — what a fab idea.
I sing made up cat songs in a high pitch to Misha. Norm is a professional musician. He endures my cat songs, because he sees how much Misha loves them. He’s so in love with her. 🕊 Hugs 🕊
They know when they’re getting the added attention of a song for sure. I used to do that for Crystal but in a normal voice — all sorts of songs changing the words for her. Mr Sandman was a favorite (Sandman give us a dream/Crystal, give me a purr…) And Fever (It gives me fever/She’s got the me-ow). Daphne and Velma head for the hills when they see the karaoke screen coming on though. So I haven’t tried singing to them. I’m so glad everything has settled with Misha. ❤ ❤ ❤
That’s good you can make Misha happy and Norm loves her.
So nice👌
Thanks, Neeraj.
Fantastic! Brimming with talent all around, congratulations to you both!
Thanks very much, Tiffany. I hope you’re having a good weekend. Hugs.
Thanks, Tiffany.
Dramatic and intense! I like the idea of adding gain (?) to this expressive voice. Looking forward for “your” version of the song!
She sent her mic into overdrive when she recorded it. It ended up working out after I applied various filters and effects. Here’s my version of the song: https://wp.me/p1yQyy-c7B. Thanks, Socratis.
Thank you kindly, Oannes. Hugs.
Oh you did nail it Teagan! What a voice … strong and lovely! Wonderful teamwork!
Thanks, Julie.
