This one has an odd form, if any at all. You can decide if there's a verse and a chorus or what. Back story, a violent storm rolled through the area at mid-morning one day last year. I was home alone. Sometime later the song-idea light bulb illuminated:) https://soundcloud.com/scott-h-olson/the-stormTHE STORM Copyright © 2015 by Scott H. Olson Well the storm blew through this town around ten a.m. Wreaked a little havoc, caused a little more mayhem Yeah, the power went out, but the beer was cold So I had me quite an episode When the storm blew through this town around ten a.m. Them ol' dark clouds swallowed the sun Running for cover I thought I was done When the rain poured down overflowing the ditches I found high ground right there in the kitchen Where that fridgidaire, a side by side Stood with all the tall-boys chillin' inside When the storm blew through this town around ten a.m. Style is _NWORSUF.STY (NewOrleans Shuffle Band[130RS]) RealTracks in style: 2435:Bass, Electric, NewOrleansShuffle Sw 130 RealTracks in style: 2437:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm NewOrleansShuffleKevin Sw 130 RealTracks in song: ~957:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBoogieGrittyMuted Sw 110 RealTracks in song: ~423:Harmonica, Background Blues Sw 120 RealDrums in style: NewOrleansShuffle^04-a:Kick Shuffle , b:Ride, Shuffle

I gave her a listen. I think this a pretty good write. Your vocal has good quality, very well delivered with good imagery. IE: " Where that fridgidaire, a side by side Stood with all the tall-boys chilllin' inside".  I want to say the honky tonk piano could come up a db but I'm listening on my laptop so that may be too presumptuous of me. Well done...do carry on.

Hi Scott,
Very cool song! Everything fits together and you did a great job with the stops (I really like that part). Very clean and professional sound and mix. Your vocal is outstanding and the lyrics tell an interesting story. I enjoyed listening.

Very nice groove and a cool idea......
BUT.....
It's only halfway finished. I wasn't halfway through the first verse when this thought hit me.
You need a verse #2 that talks about the "storm" being a woman, most likely your woman, who is seeking some revenge on you for being out a bit too late and coming home a bit to inebriated.... put a bit of a twist on the metaphor about a storm.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Well the storm blew through this town around ten a.m.
Wreaked a little havoc, caused a little more mayhem
That is one of the most clever rhymes I've ever heard!! This is a really fun and clever song. Well done in every way. Vocal is great, mix is sweet and arrangement sounds very natural. Great job!! Take care. Greg

This is a first class delivery. Had my toe tapping right from the start. There's really nothing to not like about this little beauty. Your vocals are first class, and choice of RealTracks is the icing on the cake.

Scott, I like the write and the vocal is amazing. I felt like the instrumental break lacked a cohesive solo. It sounded like just harmonica fills. The mix is excellent. Very well put together and I enjoyed it a lot. Tom

Hi Scott.
Absolutely superb - I loved that.
I always like a song with a story and this is a great one with a bit of humour thrown in.
The mix has a lot of punch, but it's still crystal clear and not over compressed. All the instruments work well together and support an excellent vocal.
A great track.
ROG.

Hi Scott,
The title hooked me. I just had to give it a listen.
Great story. That's usually what I do too when the power goes out; start drinking the beer.
Loved the song.

"Well the storm blew through this town around ten a.m. Wreaked a little havoc, caused a little more mayhem" Greg's already mentioned that line but it deserves another as it is immediately memorable. Everything here is in the pocket and the band is hittin' the note. This is a fine production that is right in our wheelhouse and had an immediate add to our SC playlist. Really, really good! J&B EDIT: Janice just reminded me that recently when our refrigerator bit the dust we got our priorities in order and put the beer on ice. Craft brews I might add And we just listened again. Great tune!!
