Days of Thunder (original)

D A Y S O F T H U N D E R
When the moon is low
In the inky sky
There's that moment of glow
Before sunrise...
Your smile appears
Like the sun in stormy skies
I’m warm and melting
Into your chocolate eyes
Casting your glow over me
Lighting the dark where my heart used to be
We’re locking eyes
And we’re falling under
Days of thunder, days of thunder
We’re safe inside
In our world of wonder
Days of thunder, falling under
The King of Swords
You command in thoughtful ways
Your piercing eyes
Slicing through my wounded haze
Wise woman told me your name
Laid down before me, your eyes are the same
We’re locking eyes
And we’re falling under
Days of thunder, days of thunder
We’re safe inside
In our world of wonder
Days of thunder, falling under
You’ve got me singing
Laughing and grinning
Spiraling, spinning
Love and beginning
We’re locking eyes
And we’re falling under
Days of thunder, days of thunder
We’re safe inside
In our world of wonder
Days of thunder, falling under
I made a list
And I cast my wishes high
And now you stand
Fallen magic from the sky
We’re locking eyes
And we’re falling under
Days of thunder, days of thunder
We’re safe inside
In our world of wonder
Days of thunder, days of thunder
We're locking eyes
And we're falling under
Days of thunder, days of thunder
We're safe inside
In our world of wonder
Days of thunder, falling under

This is the fifth original song in my Drums-First Series, which are songs that I write originating with drums. Normally I write with guitar so this series is a creative journey meant to send me in new directions. How it works is I sit behind the drum kit and come up with a few parts that I think work together (verse part, chorus part and maybe a bridge or instrumental part), figure out the structure of the song and then record the drums for the whole song. At this point I have no preconceived idea what the melodic instruments or vocals will be doing. The drums lead, followed by bass and then guitar and vocals as well as keys. I build the song layer by layer based on what works nicely with the previous layer. I am having so much fun creating songs this way and I hope you enjoy taking this journey with me :)

What a wonderful surprise to have your newest creation show up in my YT feed. Love this journey you're on, both musically, personally and lyrically. These lyrics are amazing, "your piercing eyes, slicing through my wounded haze"...wow! I like how you're stretching out, experimenting... The music, structure, vocals and lyrics are just sooooo good. Bravo my friend, bravo!❤

Thank you so much, Richard! I am so glad you are enjoying these songs...and especially the lyrics which are the hardest part of songwriting, IMO....if you do it right. 🙂

[@Katerina9256]

Love it Vesper, you sure do have a knack for this! All your originals are so well done and very catchy, I could imagine hearing them on the radio 😊

[@Vesper_Songs]

You are too kind, Katerina...thank you! I love trying to write a good hook. It's hard! I think in order to be on the radio these days, I'd need to stop playing instruments and use autontune, LOL!

[@Katerina9256]

@Vesper_Songs I know what you mean...it's become so artificial, even when the artists are super talented. Weird! Well I certainly prefer YOU and your authenticity and talent!
