Description
"Bring On The Storm" contains the phrase "a bit of light" which became the title of my latest CD: A BIT OF LIGHT.
Some of the backing vocals lyrics can get lost in the shuffle, so please take a look at the lyrics below. The background rhymes are some of my favorites I've done.
This song began as a tango for a film I scored, the only one that didn't use violin. I decided to fill it out with vocals and got carried away. I was also listening to Jon Anderson and Vangelis at the time, if you can hear the influences. One of my favorite aspects of this song is the build and fade, like a storm passing. I also enjoyed the vocal harmonies - singing them made me feel like I was buoyed by wind and cloud.
Other songs that started as film scores (to the same film) include:
Be My Love
Tango (The Dance)
A BIT OF LIGHT is progressive folk fusion, a mixture of rock, jazz, folk and prog. Other MJ contributers musically are: McBoy, TEXASFEEL (John Luper), Thoddi (Thor Oliverson), Komrade K (Martyn Kember-Smith), bbarner (Bill Barner) and other NYC friends, including the excellent jazz sax player Donny McCaslin and Belgium violinst Entcho Todorov.
This track was remastered and appears on my 2007 release, A Bit Of Light, available through CDBaby.

Lyrics
BRING ON THE STORM
Cover me like rain.
Run me along the streets.
Cover me, wash me over like thunder.
Catch in your palm every sweet grain and leaf.
Trace me around the jagged edge of light...
Face me, trace me, grace me with the jagged edge of light
...cauterize the distance between
this storm and me,
between every echo.
And like the rain I touch the glass.
And like the rain I fall too fast.
And like the rain I take a bit of light from heaven.
And as the rain that falls away
I soon grow cold and cannot say
And all my brittle little life dries on my tongue.
Please shape me, aweigh me, translate me into illusion.
Mutate me, satiate me, lib’rate me with your confusion.
Inflate me, filtrate me, anticipate me like the winds.
Radiate me, ideate me, permeate my soiled dusty sins.
Cover me. Give me shape, give me form.
Cover me. Let me drape my heart around the coming of the storm.
Bring on the storm.
...like the rain I touch
...like the rain I fall
...like the rain I take a bit of light from heaven.
...as the rain that falls away
...I soon grow cold and cannot say
...all my brittle life... dries away.
