Songs with storm sounds in them? (no nature soundtracks)

*What I’m not looking for: nature sounds CD tracks, with or without instrumental accompaniment *

There was a thunder storm last week while I was driving home, and it amused me some that my mixed CD on random landed on both “Cadillac Dust” by Elliott Brood and “Polish Girl” covered by Emil & Friends because both songs have thunder in them.
This reminded me of “Thunder Rolls” by Garth Brooks, naturally.

So now I’m wondering what other songs with vocals might have the sounds of rain and/or thunder in them. Got any recs?

“Love Reign O’er Me” by the Who.

3

I’m fairly certain it was Ozymandias on Jefferson Starship’s Spitfire LP that featured a thunderstorm.

4

“Riders on the Storm” by the Doors, natch.
“Rain is Falling” by Electric Light Orchestra.

5

“Black Sabbath” by Black Sabbath (on Black Sabbath).

6

“November Rain,” Guns n Roses.

7

“The Fall of the House of Usher”, The Alan Parsons Project.

8

“It’s Raining” by Rick Derringer

9

The Cascades, “Rhythm of the Rain.”

10

“Piove” by Jovanotti.

11

“No Ha Parado de Llover,” by Maná.

This one and the other one (“Piove”) are both terrific songs, IMHO. Seek 'em out, even if you don’t speak Spanish or Italian.

Two favorites of mine, both with storm sounds at the beginning:

Sting, “Fortress Around Your Heart”

Seal, “Love’s Divine”

13

Not famous or anything, but “Til The Dawn Breaks” has thunder claps at the very beginning and end.

14

It’s Raining Men by the Weathergirls

15

“Like the Rain”, by Clint Black.

16

I used to think “We Walk” by R.E.M. had thunder sounds, but Dopers corrected me: it’s billiard balls hitting each other, with the sound slowed down.

Does a windstorm count? E.g., the end of Side 1, and the start of Side 2, of Jethro Tull’s magnum opus “Thick as a Brick.”

Wings for Marie Part II - Tool

These guys were the headliners of a triple bill at my first concert.

Bad Company~Burning Sky. Thunder intro and outro.

Bonus: I found you kids a commercial-free version. :smiley:

You’re welcome.

“Dun Ringill,” by Jethro Tull, has rainstorm sounds. A lyric in it references the album it’s on: “Stormwatch.”

“Walking in the Rain” by the Ronettes
