thunder, explosion, Stevie Nicks typr voice...

Ok, I have heard this song about a year ago in shops and its been driving me insane because I can't track it down. I know I don't have much to go on, but here goes...

It's a female soloist, kind of husky/disctinctive voice, not unlike Stevie Nicks. I suppose it's a kind of power ballad with words like "I am rain, I am the storm, hear the explosion"

Any ideas?

"I Am the Rain" by Assemblage 23 ??

Too eager to appease
The cure is the disease
And it's only growing worse

Day by day it takes its hold
Divides its cells a thousandfold
And makes your blindness seem perverse

Out of sight and out of mind
Are deadly traits when they're combined
But it's easier that way

Sit and watch the world go by
While all the problems multiply
With nothing left to do but pray

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end

These amenities are nice
But there is need for sacrifice
You must lose so you may gain

It's too easy to malign
The implements that steal our time
But it's we who are to blame

Fill your pockets while you can
And try to keep the upper hand
The voice of reason sounds so shrill

Surround yourself with all you own
Work your fingers to the bone
And happiness evades you still

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end

Too eager to appease
You've lost the forest for the trees
And it really is a shame

It is such a sorry sight
When you evaluate your life
You've only got yourself to blame

I am the rain
Falling down to cover you
Wish me away
But I'm here for your own good
I am the storm
Sent to wake you from your dream
Show me your scorn
But you'll thank me in the end

Edit: Looks like the "band" is a single male. Unless he sounds a bit like Stevie, perhaps a cover.

Thanksfor the reply, but I looked up the Assemblage song on youtube and it's a horribile ibiza dance sounding track! As I said, it's a kind of power ballad or even soft rock with a meloy that gathers pace saying "i am the rain, I am the wind, ... hear the explosion" or words to that effect, and it is most definatley a female, albeit one with a distinctive sounding voice. It is not electronic sounding, mostly drums. Unless it is as you say a cover, any further thoughts?

Maybe a female cover of this Don McLean song, "Chain Lightning" ?

Sometimes when I'm thinkin that love's not around

My heart begins sinkin', I don't hear a sound

And the world is in blackness, no light shines on me

I suffer no blindness, no one can I see

Then a flash from the heavens, like loud jagged wire

And the silence is broken, and the night is on fire.


(Chorus)

It's like chain lightning, this love that I feel

Who knows where it strikes

Or when it will hit

How long it will last, or when it will quit


In the forest I'm burnin', struck down by the blast

The fever is churnin', and the heat rises fast

And those standing nearest can show their concern

But swear if they touch me, that they too will burn

They fear for their lives, for death will soon dwell

In the warmth of your love is the fire of hell.


(Chorus)

It's like chain lightning, this love that I feel

Who knows where it strikes

Or when it will hit

How long it will last, or when it will quit


And soon the sparks scatter and the wind whips the flame

And love will soon shatter what it cannot tame

And the cycle continues from life into dust

For I am now in you, with the fire of lust

I hear the explosion, and the thunder and rain

The water is falling, and the ashes remain.


(Chorus)

It's like chain lightning, this love that I feel

Who knows where it strikes

Or when it will hit

How long it will last, or when it will quit


The Indians tell us that the phoenix can rise

From the smoldering ashes that once were my eyes

And watch beautiful colors from black and from gray

Be formed into wings and then take me away

Where evil is darkness and goodness is light

And love is the lightning that cuts through the night

And strikes only once in a dark place in time

And forms a fold stairway that all of us climb.

The group, The Cocktail Revisionists, have a female lead vocalist and a song called "I am the Rain". However, I cannot find a sample or lyrics for the song. Attached is a link of the group performing one of their songs which will give you an idea of their music style.

I believe the song you are referencing is Royksopp, song named What Else is there?

Lyrics to What Else Is There? :
It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here

It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions

Roads end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together

I am the storm I am the wonder
And the flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish

It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for

I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there

Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance still not together

If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have a flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions

There's no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too

I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish
