Is that thunder Or has it started Hard to believe this is What we wanted The skies are strange with Signs and portents Wish I had the key to Their importance You rely on All that medication Nothing gets you high Not even fornication Get up to face the day What a struggle One day you may decide It’s just not worth the trouble I heard you blamed her For your undoing I think it’s only Yourself that you’re fooling Don’t be so quick to Turn her love aside The snow doesn’t care Who’s on the mountain side You might need a friend Or a place to hide The snow doesn’t care Who’s on the mountain sideI was twenty one Acting melancholy Drinking way too much And saying life was folly When the darkness comes And it isn’t of your choosing It’s a different game Everybody’s loosing I heard the Devil On the radio last night The razor wire is up The beacons are alight I’ve stopped counting all the ways That we have failed Hear noises on the line And I think I’m being tailed You have forgotten more Than I will ever know One for the road Before we have to go Don’t be so quick to Turn love aside The snow doesn’t care Who’s on the mountain side You might need a friend Or a place to hide The snow doesn’t care Who’s on the mountain side

Listened to this as it thunders all around us here in S. Carolina this afternoon. Talk about setting the mood...
I like this song a lot. It's a good fit for the vocals and arrangement you created.
Enjoyed it and will be back for more listens.

Hi Peter, I thought it had a nice live feel to it, and I liked the way the guitar parts worked with the trax. The lyrics seemed a bit cryptic to me, but that makes them more interesting.

Great sound on this, Peter. Nice instrumentation, good mix. Your guitar additions are well done.
Leon's rhymes are a standout here...clever. Good vocals, too (though they get a little low late in the song compared to the band)
Enjoyed it.

Love the lyrics, almost Dylanesque. Interesting song,like the chord progressions, drums, rhyming medication and fornication, what's not to like.

Melody, lyric and arrangement all work really well. The effects on your voice were almost overwhelming in the quiet intro - almost had some clipping as well. Once the band kicked in the issue was reduced but I do think you could put your voice, almost naked into the mix and it'd sound fantastic.

A really interesting write!! The progression is very nice. There is a lot of repetition but I didn't get tired of it. There are some really great lyrics. Some parts are funny, some poignant, most cryptic. Very different but very interesting listen! Take care. Greg

Good lyrics, good vocals and you're doing well as a backing vocal! Very nice job. Rob & Ann-Marie Thanks - I try with the backing vocals - it can be hit or miss.

Enjoyed it and will be back for more listens. We listened to this last night and today I came back for another and some comments...and, yep, thunder is all around the homestead. Like floyd said "nice rhymes" and the mix sounds really good on our monitors. An interesting and effective choice of RT's go well with your playing. It's all happening here...cool vocal, write and arrangement. Enjoyed it! J&B
