Storm's A-Comin' - Matt Smith

Here's a little video I made for a demo of another song that's not really suited for Theocracy, but that I thought some people might enjoy. I had a good time going all-out with the vocal arrangement, horns and swing feel on this track--fun little tune. Enjoy!

[@ggrebenyuk]

We can get through the storms, when Jesus is beside us!

[@SueNC367]

I am convinced that Matt Smith can do anything. I've seriously walked around and sang this all day. I cant get it out of my head!

[@Gloriagal78]

Susan Wright Totally! : )

[@LehandyPluma15]

you're right!!

[@OTCRock4one]

+Susan Wright I love Matt's Vocals! IMHO his voice reminds me of a Metal Version of Dennis DeYoung From the band Styx which I like a lot.

[@BreakingChords]

Storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' My children take a look toward the skies (storm's a-comin', storm's a-comin') It's time for us to separate the foolish from the wise (storm's a-comin') You see those angry clouds are gathering (storm's a-comin', storm's a-comin') It's quiet now, but soon this town will never be the same 'Cause that's storm's a-comin '(storm's a-comin') That storm's a-comin' (storm's a-comin') So lift me up, but tear me down Soon the winds will come and blow us all around So here we go, I'll be your shelter, what a show And if you're scared, it's all right Take my hand and run away with me tonight Gotta one way ticket on a southern train We're getting out of this town That storm's a-comin' So listen all you people, gather 'round. (storm's a-comin', storm's a-comin') If we survive this night we've gotta get to higher ground (storm's a-comin') No time to say goodbye to where we've been (storm's a-comin', storm's a-comin') Catch lightning in a bottle while the thunder's rolling in 'Cause that storm's a-comin' (storm's a-comin') That storm's a-comin' (storm's a-comin') So lift me up, but tear me down Soon the winds will come and blow us all around So here we go, I'll be your shelter, what a show And if you're scared, it's all right Just take my hand and run away with me tonight Gotta one way ticket on a southern train We're getting out of this town That storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' Storm's a-comin' So lift me up, you gonna tear me down Soon the winds will come and blow us all around Here we go, I'll be your shelter, what a show It's all right Take my hand and run away with me tonight Gotta one way ticket on a southern train We're getting out of this town That storm's a-comin'

this band not just help to save souls, but SAVES THE REAL ROCK !!!

[@Mvillano13]

We need a new Theocracy album, at least once per month. This song will help perform the task! XD God bless you Matt

[@MrMuscleheart]

This song is strangely applicable now in 2020. Would love to here more solo songs like this!

[@judithbormann6288]

Even more so in 2021

[@rachela1945]

Even more so Qld & Northern NSW 2022 😂😂😭😭

[@TheOneAndOnlySmitty]

Being a fellow Matt Smith, I support this.

[@WTRGK]

HAHAH niceeeee

[@theguys4449]

What a legendary song. I've played this in my car along with my Theocracy playlist. You guys are a blessing. Thanks for allowing me to headbang while showing that metallic Christianity exists and it is good.

[@timothyissler3815]

It's like Queen meets another band, but I don't know what band. Cool song, goofy and symphonic, swing and shred, all in one. How can people dislike this?

[@sanman8530]

Storm's have arrived!

[@danielr9160]

I wish you would release this one it's super good it's been in repeat for days now

[@drillcream]

Matt, you know there are some people out there who are doing exactly what God has made them to do, and your one of those people. Bless you mate from the great land down under!

[@warden1103]

This is basically prophesy of 2020. Pretty much summed up this entire year back in 2013.

[@borgwir]

his "move" at 0:50 is exactly me when i hear that song :D

[@ColinWrightson]

Truee

[@brolandmann]

AND at 1:54!

[@Aa144511]

and 2:28!!!

[@geedub88]

It reminded me of Jay and Silent Bob in Clerks 2.

[@geedub88]

Feathered Seclude Look up Clerks 2 Dance Scene.

[@Glue.Man.]

I discovered this when an auctal storm was coming because I was bored and this is friggin awesome

[@gabrielruizaraujo2714]

Lord Jesus bless you, valuable brother!

[@richkurzweil6982]

Love this. Love your vocals, the lyrics..Would love to hear it with bass and drums.

[@gabrielredwine9955]

Matt Smith is one-man-band and I respect him heighly and all of his works. God Bless this world with more individuals that would bring unspoiled thruth through music.

[@camion300]

Exellent. Don't stop. God is with You. Theocracy New York New Jersey is waiting for You.

[@nesheny_8471]

I find it hard to believe that Matt Smith could be a more talented musician. Matt should be way more appreciated. Please Matt keep it coming.

[@rahamimful]

Wow!! I love this. Why can't it be on a Theocracy album? Great song from a great band can go on any album.

[@garykelly4548]

Great Song, is their no end to this Man's TALENT!!!

[@tyleradams9606]

AMAZING!! Most talent I've seen in all my 20 years on this Earth!! Great job Matt! Just recently discovered Theocracy, LOVE IT!! I AM is my new favorite song!! Keep it up bro

[@tjflash60]

Nice tune. Different but still a Theocracy feel.

[@nymalous3428]

I just saw the Social Distancing song from Matt Smith and I enjoyed it. So when I saw this song recommended I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm glad I did. Very nice. And I think I know some other people who would also like it (so I'll show them).

[@ingvarlundstedt4828]

Amazing ! Sweden love you and What Jesus does thru you

[@Unit592]

keep on coming back to listen to this. i would totally buy this is i could

[@carlosaquino1138]

[@tommyirby8000]

[@Truthjustice23]

[@drillcream]

[@zulumagoo1]

Shared 2/13/2019 Can't count the times I have shared this warning. But the storm is closer now, than ever before.

[@zulumagoo1]

Closer now, than when we first began. 02/19/2021 Patience. Faith. Hope!

[@gabejay815]

Still waiting for an EP in this style! And Ghost too!

[@SimoPepi11]

Cant stop listening to those strong words....

[@gamilhammer]

would absolutely enjoy more like this! Thank you Matt!

[@aspiringmen4374]

Matt this MUST be on the next album bros!!

[@TroubadorToday]

You really have to put this out! Awesome, fun, well arranged!!! Thanks!

[@bluegod1]

Addicted to the 'play again' button!

[@Caleb_son_of_God]

This needs album release

[@JosiesCardShop]

Awesome, i'm pretty sure it doesn't what music you make God has blessed you with an amazing gift and it will all be good.

[@howToNot2]

Still makes me smile every time I hear it=)

[@llamabeanz]

Jeeezeeee Matt, ive had this stuck in my head for two days now lol, dusting my room singin storms a comin beep bop da da da da

[@samqwerty]

He is an incredible singer

[@jrgenclevin4185]

Then make a solo album, Matt.

[@OrangeKyle91]

He did. It was the original version of Theocracy's debut album.

[@pletcherjohnstowersjjjr1975]

Theocracy is his solo albums...

[@geedub88]

This alone is better than the debut. I honestly didn't enjoy it as much as the other three.

[@sfoez]

i can't keep my head still... storm's a comin' pie-pa-pa-da-da-daaaaaah

[@crufflerrick]

Outstanding...Matt you are one of my favorite artist prophetic and poetic...a modern day psalmist for sure!

[@KrQ11e]

If they had these kinds of songs in church id go alot more often, its amazingly good :D

[@geedub88]

KrQ11e Theocracy songs should pretty much be hymns. All the hymns in church sound so dull and dreary.

[@Aqua-pl8qw]

When I first listened to it I thought the part starting in 2.17 was just some random metal part thrown in there like "I love metal lets´ do this". Now listening again I figured that this part may literally be the storm lol Definately sounds threatening an epic

[@teaganmuzzy7853]

i love this song i love this channel keep it up edit: i refuse to believe that this video has 2.5k likes this deserves at least over 100k likes

[@onfire4Jesus2]

What a cool song! This is the first one I've heard that has sort of a gospel feel at the beginning and very catchy I must say. You should do more songs like this!

[@andrekopanka3623]

WOW Great Song !!!!

[@NA-px9us]

So good, seriously needs to be on iTunes!

[@Aa144511]

Chouju X and Spotify!

[@MikeDCWeld]

Absolutely loved it! An amazing song that beautifully blends a Gospel feel with some nicely symphonic Metal sections. You should do about a half dozen more songs in this blended style and release them as an album under your channels username to reach those not exactly into Metal. Let me know when it's ready and I'll be the first one to download it.

[@yehusefazenod7779]

there is hidden meaning on this song.. He is so genius... so deep.... i think the songwriter warn the world

[@HolyMetalPress]

Me encanta la voz hermosa que tenes, Dios te dió un talento muy hermoso! God Bless You!

[@boyannikolov9225]

Amazing!

[@gabrielandrade8455]

Um salve para o Brasil arrasando como sempre Matt... Mano que pena que não tem no Spotify

[@davidpeterson4784]

This song is super catchy and awesome XD love it!

[@Roopedt]

Sounding very nice!! Matt is one of my favourite singers.

[@again617]

Umm, wow. I am astonished at the number of hours that went into this.

[@zsteve1]

Metal/Jazz-Gospel? Gotta love Matt and his great voice and compositions. Lonf live the Theocrats!

[@yurikatsuki3434]

Awesome!

[@andrerozzaita]

Wow!!!! Wooooowww!!!! Love it, Love your voice!!!

Fantastic song, you have a great voice Matt

[@IAmisMaster]

Storm's a comin'...of awesome songs from Matt Smith!

[@meowpadrofelis3749]

Masterpiece! I love it!

[@nicklausbrain]

This song is absolutely beautiful. Thank you very much!

[@Lucas-gg9yb]

you are the most complete and brilliant musician I've ever enjoyed come to brazil with theocracy matt, the brazillians don't know what's good music, they love a funk carioca, this is a thrash

[@mindmagic767]

Excellent composition...nice play...👍

[@guitarman8748]

Excellent song. I encourage you guys to keep it up

[@elizabethhenrikson8718]

Yes, so, when is this going to become available on Spotify? This song has lived in my head for seven years and it needs a jamming outlet.

[@promogirly777]

love it,Matt!! very catchy tune! really cool!

[@motoxtreme777]

Wow! Should have millions of views

[@Sacrispada]

What do you mean "that's not really suited for Theocracy"?!??! Its a great one, and thus perfectly suitable for Theocracy! I request that as a bonus track at least! Great bands didn't make into history by following the same recipe album after album. You guys should record flamenco-, blues-, jazz- and country-metal, all in the same album! xP

[@adahy1510]

I think the reason why it's not suited for theocracy has nothing to due with the style, but maybe just the impact of the lyrics. Being a Christian group, I think just due to the lack of Christian thematic elements deems it as an unworthy track to include for the project Theocracy.

[@theranger8668]

@@adahy1510 You don't think it's a Christian sounding song? I agree that it doesn't really fit Theocracy's musical style, but I would love to hear them do something different like this.

[@lightwarrior5198]

Love this song.

[@irenecampos2766]

EXCELENTE ESE ES EL MEJOR CANTANTE CRISTIANO DEL MOMENTO

[@SuperForearms]

Matt - I love the arrangement. My wife who stylically doesn't like Theocracy (shame on her) really enjoyed this song. Would you be able to provide a chord chart for this arrangement? I play in a contemporary worship band and would love to present this to the group to consider playing. This was brilliantly done.

[@SuperForearms]

chord chart and lyrics if possible

[@icewindhund]

Perfect and great!

[@therighteousoutlawrebel]

I love this. ❤

[@brolandmann]

I also just discovered Theocracy and am doing my best to spread the word! I AM is my new favorite song--POWERFUL stuff. Not allowed to buy yet (Christmas time, don'cha know), but if Santa doesn't bring it, I know 3 lps I'll be buying immediately after! Keep up the great work--keep mixing the vocals with the power chords.

[@stefanchrist9428]

[@estherbravo1054]

GOD BLESS YOU♥

[@punkdrummr2000]

He is the Mozart of our time.

[@pglover64]

Matt, I found you and Theocracy by happenstance and so glad I did. Wow, you are so so talented my friend. You have one of the best vocals(especially rock) I have ever heard. I wanted to listen to some local music since I’m Georgia boy and did a search for Georgia rock groups. I saw “Theocracy” in the Heavy Metal group listing and decided to give you guys a listen. Odd that Wikipedia has your group listed as Heavy Metal instead of Christian Rock. Mad props go out to you and all the band members.

[@Giannofman]

Indeed...and super awesome dude!!

[@moonchilddave]

Awesome job brother!!! Love this!!!
