I was just wondering?

storm kicks butt!
I always wandered the exact meaning of it, since i've kinda got my own (that's one of the cool things about devin's lyrics, as everyone knows). But in case you could share your interpretation of it, it'd be cool
Yeah, that'd be pretty cool, but only if you'd like to share!
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE SUBJUGATION!!!

Lyrically they're both a little cryptic that you would need to know the inside information to really understand. And I'm not going to say what that is, sorry
Isn't "Ascent To The Summit Of Black Mountain" and "Thick stock" among your favorites too ? (i think you said that in another topic but i may be wrong)

I'm sure there are others but those are off the top of my head. Picking any from Terria or AE is hard coz I like all of them.
My choices aren't necessarily because they are the best musically but because of some associated memory or because I know they were important to him or whatever.
Now I would add Sunshine and Happiness, Triumph, Pixillate, Notes from Africa, Gaia. And of course all of Punky Bruster.

Mighty fine choices Tracy..... Sunshine and Happiness is probably the most happy, feel great song EVER That song always put's a smile on my face......... I love it !!!!
Storm doesn't sound particularily happy, but I don't think it sounds unhappy either. It's really hard to find a word/words that would summarise the vibe I feel from that song.
On one hand, I find it to be unsettling throughout, but there's also this sense of a kind of vigilant peace, especially near the end. In fact when I first heard the song, I assumed that it was about experiencing a storm, but when I think about it now, it's almost like we're watching for an inevitable storm that hasn't yet arrived, or maybe it's just visible on the horizon.
Great song, however you describe it.

"At the mere sight of the shade, so did I quail
Hearing him; yet his hintings of disaster
Shamed me to valour, as a hind may be
Bold in the presence of an honoured master."
