I'm A Hurricane
These weather songs seem to be going around here on TSF as does the crazy weather around the world. So, I decided to write my own weather song. Wouldn't want to be left behind. Yes. I believe the powers-that-be can control the weather as is evident in this song. After all, you can't play God without controlling the weather. Any feedback is appreciated.
Thought I'd share where the opening line came from; "You can call me 'Sunshine". A customer of mine texted me, 'Good morning, Sunshine'. I took it as a joke because I'm far from Sunshiny and she knows it. That customer happens to be the ex-wife of the son of the great Harlan Howard; the country songwriter who coined the phrase, "Three-Chords-And-The-Truth"!
Just got shocked as this song seems to be picking up some steam on SoundCloud! Not many of my songs do ===> https://soundcloud.com/reneelachapelle/im-a-hurricane
I’M A HURRICANE
[Verse 1]
You can call me, ‘Sunshine’
But that wouldn’t be true
I’m the hell-storm
Blackens your sky ‘a blue
They’re drummin’ up a name
As they always do
They’re pushing me westward
And I’m coming for you
[Chorus]
I’m a hurricane
The mightiest of wind
I’m a hurricane
I make Superman’s head spin
I’m a hurricane
A Category 5
If you’re one of the lucky ones
You’ll come out alive
[Verse 2]
Boarding up your windows
This time won’t do
They’re ramping up my speed
Just rubble when I’m through
They’re drumming up a story
As they always do
Across every News station
For everyone to view
[Chorus]
I’m a hurricane
The mightiest of wind
I’m a hurricane
I make Superman’s head spin
I’m a hurricane
A Category 5
If you’re one of the lucky ones
You’ll come out alive
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
[Verse 3]
Now, they’re calling in FEMA
For what good that’ll do
Insurance companies won’t pay
Cleanup’s down to you
And they’re drumming up a lie
As they always do
They can’t control the weather
They’ll be telling you
[Chorus]
I’m a hurricane
The mightiest of wind
I’m a hurricane
I make Superman’s head spin
I’m a hurricane
A Category 5
If you’re one of the lucky ones
You’ll come out alive
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
[Chorus]
I’m a hurricane
The mightiest of wind
I’m a hurricane
I make Superman’s head spin
I’m a hurricane
A Category 5
If you’re one of the lucky ones
You’ll come out alive
[Chorus/Tag]
I’m a hurricane
The mightiest of wind
I’m a hurricane
I make Superman’s head spin
I’m a hurricane
A Category 5
If you’re one of the lucky ones
If you’re one of the lucky ones
If you’re one of the lucky ones
You’ll come out alive..

Good song, well sung, enjoyed it very much.
constructive comment: 3 chorus outro is a bit too long, either 2 chorus or power up after the second and go out high on the third.

@HummerWisdom - good lyrics.. I agree with sid, you might think about cut one of the choruses out. or change the last chorus to an outro and only have - If you’re one of the lucky ones / If you’re one of the lucky ones / If you’re one of the lucky ones / You’ll come out alive.. just my thoughts

Nice! Good line.
I don't know if will fit, but I'd like to hear you sing out on hurri-caaane and give it some emphasis. You'd probably have to change the way you're singing the chorus unfortunately.
Enjoyed my listen! 😁
