Acoustic Pop Rock sample

Name Every Storm

Acoustic Pop Rock

An original example from Mom and Dad for Kinsley's tenth birthday, her first year in double digits. She wants to be a storm chaser. She keeps a weather notebook by the back door in Norman, Oklahoma, and gives every thunderstorm a name. When the sirens go off she is the calm one in the hall closet with the flashlight, explaining the radar to her little brother, Tucker. She lost both front teeth the same week, and her backyard party has a cake shaped like a cloud. Her parents wanted something bright that she and her friends could shout along to.

The sound of this song

Mid-2000s acoustic pop rock at 96 BPM with strummed acoustic guitar and clean electric arpeggios. Bright female pop vocal with a doubled chorus and stacked harmonies on the hook. Piano, live drums and melodic bass, a half-time bridge and a ringing final chord.

Lyrics

Lyrics from Name Every Storm

Every morning in Norman, at the notebook by the back door You write down the sky like nobody did before And when the thunder rolls across that Oklahoma sky You give it a name like a friend just passing by Kinsley, someday you'll chase them all across the plains Tonight you're ten, and you're the boss of all the rain

Here it comes, the wind is picking up Everybody shout it, shout it loud enough

Name every storm Write 'em in your book and keep 'em warm You were made for wild, wild weather Chasing down the sky like you were born for

When the sirens start to wail, we're squeezing in the hall In the closet with the flashlight, you're the calmest of us all Tucker's right beside you while you break the radar down You make the loudest night the smartest show in town Then you lost both your front teeth in the very same week Now you whistle through the gap like the wind about to peak

Here it comes, the wind is picking up Everybody shout it, shout it loud enough

Name every storm Write 'em in your book and keep 'em warm You were made for wild, wild weather Chasing down the sky like you were born for

Double digits, Kinsley, ten looks good on you Backyard full of friends and a cake shaped like a cloud Whatever's coming, we'll be watching it with you From both of us, happy birthday, shout it loud

Name every storm Write 'em in your book and keep 'em warm Ten years old and ready for the weather Go and chase the sky, it's what you're born for

We'll be right here, watching the radar for you
