Retro-mix: Storm's a-comin'!!
well, it appears that Tropical Storm Hanna is heading straight for the Carolinas tonight. I don’t live right on the coast but we are still going to get lots of rain and heavy winds as the storm moves inland. argh. I always worry about these gigantic trees that stand adjacent to my house whenever a strong storm blows through the area. I really don’t want to find a huge tree in my living room tomorrow morning.
So, enjoy today’s Retro-mix: storm’s a-comin’. ..and I’ll see ya on the other side…
Gnarls Barkley – Storm Coming
Run towards the hills to avoid the high flood
I can do a dance that will make the sky cry blood
Robert Cray – Forecast (Calls for Pain)
I can feel the thunder, I can see the lightning
I can feel the pain, Oh it’s gonna rain
Billy Joel – Storm Front
There’s a storm front coming
White water running and the pressure is low
Storm front coming, small craft warning on the radio
Asia – Who will Stop the Rain?
Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don’t know
So who can stop the rain?
Big Country – The Storm
Through forest and moor as the clouds filled the sky
The storm broke upon us with fury and flame
Both hunters and hunted washed out in the rain
the Alarm – Eye of the Hurricane
Oh eye of the hurricane
I walk away in the wind and the rain
Into the eye of the hurricane of my life
*Bonus track*
Todd Rundgren – Second Wind (live take from the July 12, 1990 recording sessions at the Palace of Fine Arts in S.F.)
Blow like cyclone my second wind
Blow like typhoon my second wind
Blow like tempest my second wind!!
hey D!! I hope the storm was a NON-event for you where you live.
Oh, and I love the selection of songs. as always.
That Robert Cray tune is one of my favorites.
