...lowland woods and the dams of dry times were swept away as creatures of all shapes and kinds sought escape from churning floods, but somehow they've thrown it over.
Douglas A.
Storm up a Promise
We drowned
In the shallow rivers.
Bled out on muddy banks.
We were dazed, we were sunken treasure
We were Youth.
Even pristine Fountains banter
with murky waters in the rain.
Memories seek refuge
on stormy nights.
...thornish glaze guided the deafening wails of madness across ravaged landscapes as chilled frames deemed warmth to battle pillaged reservoirs and aqueous strikes.
Willie Nelson - Have You Ever Seen the Rain (Official Audio) ft. Paula Nelson

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know, it's been coming for some time
When it's over, so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know, shining down like water
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day
Yesterday, and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know, been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know, it can't stop, I wonder
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day
Yeah!
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
I wanna know, have you ever seen the rain?
Coming down on a sunny day
Me: Sometimes at night I cry about how Colonel Cameron Mitchell stormed the halls of the SGC like a modern-day Blues Brother proclaiming he would get the band back together, and then in the final episode they set the time passing montage to "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?", a song Credence Clearwater Revival wrote at the height of their fame when they were already breaking apart, hence the rain on a sunny day.
What if… you and I hid inside the Earth, a hermetic rebirth? The Secluded Green would carry our names bleeding sticky sap on muddy paths. Exposing summertime victims; natural and unashamed.
If… for one season, we needed no reason to be rid of worldly games. Upon the tainted grass we could lay. Feeding one another conjured chants, while a raised skirt drench the lap of unzipped pants.
If… penetrative blasts balance between soaked thighs physically the way intellect binds our minds. But you and I are only mortal. Fading within time's portal. Circulating to attain wisdom and age. As if_ now, surrendering to the fog and this endless rain…
Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know it's been comin' for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know shinin' down like water
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?
Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know been that way for all my time
'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow,
I know it can't stop, I wonder
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain?
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day?

(if you saw this poll earlier without any tags whatsoever, no you didn't 🤣)
please remember it's not personal if your favourite song that could've fit in with this group isn't here! this is only one poll with only ten options - there will be a bunch of amazing songs that don't appear in each round but this doesn't mean i think the ones that missed out are less deserving of love & recognition. this competition is ultimately completely meaningless, it's just for fun. so please don't swear at me about "[popular song] erasure". thanks! and enjoy! 🥳
