Thanks to Jim Adams, for hosting Song Lyric Sunday. I did a separate post for the Casa Cuckoo update. It’s here.

The prompt for this week is – Songs that mention rain

This was a crazy hard prompt for me because there are so many songs to choose from. I started making a list* and had ten songs without even thinking too hard. I finally decided to go with a band that I’ve really been enjoying who are just recently getting some notice.

The band is Cannons and the song is Hurricane from their upcoming album Fever Dream, due to be released on March 25, 2022.

Wiki tells us Cannons are an American indie pop band formed in 2013 in Los Angeles. The band consists of lead vocalist Michelle Joy, guitarist Ryan Clapham, and keyboardist and bassist Paul Davis.

They released another song from this album called Bad Dream, that plus another song from their previous album, Shadows called Fire For You are getting a lot of airplay, at least in the San Diego area.

I really like their sound and their visual style too. The singer seems to embrace the Go Go look.

I can bring a change
I can bring the thunder and the rain
Everything around me
Everything will rearrange

I’m coming back like a hurricane
I’m gonna take you higher
On a cloud of silver haze
I wanna take you higher
Away, away, away

We can blow them over
We can take them out if you stay
This is just a warning
Nothing’s standing in my way
I told you before

Coming back like a hurricane
I’m gonna take you higher
On a cloud of silver haze
I wanna take you higher
Away, away, away

Take you somewhere far away
Take you somewhere far away
Away, away, away…

I’m coming back like a hurricane
I’m gonna take you higher
On a cloud of silver haze
I wanna take you higher
Away, away, away

What do you think? I encourage you to listen to the other two songs to get a better idea of their sound. Like I wrote before, I am really enjoying them and hope they have continued success.

What song would you use for this prompt? Have you heard of Cannons before or did I get to introduce them to you? Thanks for stopping by!

HUGS!!
