“Where Would I Be?” by Cake has stormy lyrics/feel: I’ve been waiting for so long I’ve been hoping your love’s not gone Houses are sliding in the mud Rivers are raging in your blood Where would I be without your love? Where would I be without your arms around me? You were to be the only one If I knew you I would not run You have been cloudy, distant, dark I’m thinking of Noah and the ark Where would I be without your love? Where would I be without your arms around me ---

[QUOTE=Sigmagirl] _Is Anybody There_ by John Hiatt: “I see a road and a flash of lightning Let me tell you it’s frightening” [/QUOTE] For Hiatt I’d recommend “Feels Like Rain” but can’t find any sound files. There’s also Velvet Underground “Hey Mr. Rain.” ---
