A potted history of the latter half of the 20th century which is a real tongue twister.
Season 416: Fire and Rain
- Thread starter EmmaX
- Start date
My first contribution to this season is a fun little "calypso" song about how humankind probably discovered cooking. Stay till the end for a bit of caveman rant.

Fire on the Mountain, a Greatful Dead tune.
If you tried to listen to my song above already, apologies. The new way of posting at you tube has foxed me before. Why do they make things that were simple so complicated? Whatever happened to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it?"
You should be able to see my video now.

A rain song co-written by Carole King and recorded by artists as diverse as Tammy Wynette and Danzig.
I just found out that this Fairport Convention song I've been listening to for a couple of decades was a Joni Mitchell cover. So I'm covering the Fairport cover.

Hello again, Emma and Jasmine ... a second one from me. My apologies for such self-indulgent idiocy, which I ascribe to the unbridled relief at having been released from three days of Internet purdah ... oh, the joy!

The sad part is that this may be the finale from my week of hanging out with Jon Duncan at his lovely Sandy Bay home... Tomorrow, it's off to Melbourne for the first leg of the journey back to Myanmar.
The song is about flames and burning, and there's even a line about rain in here...

Second and probably last from me this week. It is called "Fire & Rain" - but it's my own song, not JT's classic.
It's a little swamp rocker with an almost inaudible Tenor Uke (no time to redo the mix. Sounded fine on headphones, but not on speakers
) and a dominant Cigar Box Guitar tuned in Open G

An original song I wrote last summer. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by heavy rain - at least they are here in the UK and this one is.
Lyrics & Chords
Thunderstorm
Words & Music: Geoff Walker
Intro
[D C G C D]
The [D]summer sun is [C]beating down
It's [G]hot and [C]getting [D]hotter
[D]Not a cloud up [C]in the sky
It's [G]heavy, [C]sultry [D]weather
A [D]little cloud high [C]in the sky
Quickly [G]builds up [C]to the [D]ceiling
[D]Now it's dark and [C]still and clear
A [G]mighty [C]crash sends us [D]reeling
Chorus
[F]Lightning flashing, [C]thunder crashing
[G]Wind howling, [C]rain lashing
[D]Nature’s mighty [C]power unleashed
A [G]thunder[C]storm is an awesome [D]beast
Now there comes a mighty deluge
With rain like stair rods falling.
Jagged flashes light up the sky
Thunder crashes and the wind’s howling
Chorus
Now the thunder starts to retreat
Bringing promise of brighter morning
With a distant rumble it passes on
A fresher day is dawning
Chorus
Outro
[D C G C D]
