Or for that matter, the whooshing winds that open Elton John’s “Funeral for a Friend”.
I Love a Rainy Night - Eddie Rabbit
I think…my memory is foggy
The version of “The Desired Effect” on Mike Keneally’s *Half Alive in Hollywood *had thunderstorm effects dubbed on to camouflage audio glitches. The result sounds awesome!
“Stan” - Eminem
Bathory. Hammerheart, Storm Of Damnation, Oden’s Ride Over Nordland, and probably a number of others.
I have played Hammerheart at two parent funerals, and God Willing, it will be played at mine; thus creating family tradition.* **
- After one a funeral director actually asked for a copy to recommend for other funerals, so hopefully it will be used for far more than my people. With respect to Holst as well as Quorthon.
** The song Hammerheart is from the album, Twilight of the Gods, not from the previous year’s album, Hammerheart.
I Wish It Would Rain by The Temptations.
Horse Latitudes, too. Although it’s more spoken word.
British Sea Power - Fear of Drowning, although mostly just in the intro.
“Come In From the Rain” by the Captain & Tennille:
“Storm” by Vanessa Mae.
“Tupelo” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Dare - Silent Thunder
“Umbrella Man” by Utopia.
“Favorite Things”, from The Sound of Music. At least, the film version.
Also “Sixteen Going on Seventeen”.
