“…The whirlwind was blowing like crazy last night
Said good morning to my neighbor
And Asked if she was alright
oh There wasn’t any power
So we sat on the porch
Wondered why we didn’t get around to that some more
If it wasn’t for a dark hard gray sky or two
wouldn’t feel the wonder even see the color when it turns to blue
We wouldn’t all get together to make the best of bad weather and every day would be like the day before
For all us lonely raindrops if it wasn’t for the storms…”
The song was written just a few days after the Tornado hit Nashville in March. Taylon had been helping clean up downtown and stopped to take a break when she looked around and was brought to tears looking at the damage. Looking around there were so many people helping one another. Neighbors knocking on doors and complete strangers helping pull cars and trees off of homes. The warmth of the sun shining on her face made her realize at that moment that we were all going to come through this. This was a life changing moment for Taylon unknowing that right behind this tragic event, would follow a world pandemic of Covid-19. It’s been a storm, but through it all people have had to step up, come together and take care of one another. The hope with this song is that it will remind others that through it all we have each other and that there is good in this world if we look for it. We all need each other, we are all the same no matter our color our race, we are all in this world together and we need each other. This song is about reminding people there is hope even through the worst of storms.
