On That Note Holiday Extra - To The Sound of Thunder

[MeanDean]

Happy Thanksgiving eve.

Since yesterday's OTN was very specific regarding songwriters we (@cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and I) decided to add a bonus holiday OTN this week.

We are looking for songs that include weather SOUND EFFECTS. In other words there must be something that sounds like weather in the song. Could be rain, thunder, wind, or even the crack of lightning.

If the sound is not at the beginning it would be helpful to include where the effect is in the song.

First three:

Raindrops - Dee Clark


Rhythm of the Rain - Cascades


Funeral For a Friend - Elton John

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Thunder effect at beginning and halfway thru



Sound of Rain at very beginning



rain, thunder, lightning effects throughout the song



wind slight thunder sounds at beginning, sound of rain at the end

Windy - The Associations

 

[Clonehomer]

Well, there's obviously thunderstruck

 

[cyclones500]

Rolling-thunder and thunder-clap sounds here & there, from intro to fade-out, most-audible just after 2:30 mark. Fun Fact: it was done using studio-magnification of billiard balls rolling/colliding.

In the intro -- wind/rain/thunder

No actual rain in Brook Benton's Rainy Night in Georgia but try telling me you can't hear and feel the rain anyway.

Whike it doesn't have the sound effect in it the song that came to mind is That Summer. "She had the need to feel the thunder..."

I’m not a country fan but Garth did crank out some pretty cool tunes back in the day.
