There's a thunderstorm going on right now. Not where you are probably, but where I am there is definitely a thunderstorm happening. Aren't thunderstorms the best? They're scary and exciting and mysterious but also comforting and familiar. There's something about witnessing the awesome power of nature from fairly safe location. It's like watching The Twister on Blu-ray with surround sound. But with less Helen Hunt, I'm guessing.
Anyway, these songs are kind of like thunderstorms... I guess. They would go well as background music to a thunderstorm but listening to the storm is the best part so maybe music isn't the best accompaniment to T-storms (as they call them in the biz).
But try it. Take your Boombox outside during the next storm. Lay down in the wet grass (extra low so as not to get struck by lightning) and let these tunes blend with the sounds of the storm. Tracklist and link below.

twister began this irrational fear I had of natural disasters back in the day. For example, I remember seeing volcano in theaters and having to leave cause it scared me so much. Same with Dante's peak. Fuck volcanoes and tornadoes.
ReplyDeleteMatt...I too had to leave the theater in the middle of Volcano. My pep pep wasn't too happy.
