I’m looking for songs that have a wind-blowing sound in them, or a similar-sounding white noise. Here are a few I can think of off the top of my head: **Elton John** - “Funeral For A Friend” **Pink Floyd** - “One of these Days”, “Wish You Were Here” (at the end) **Queen** - “The Prophet’s Song” **Robin Trower** - “Bridge of Sighs” (end) **Jethro Tull** - “Thick As A Brick” (beginning of side/track 2) ---
