The Storm by Sophie, age 6

Here's another song by the very prolific (and colorful) songwriter, Sophie. This one even has instructions for how the guitar and voice should sound. It's a great example of how the music and the words of a song can work together. Low and loud for thunder, high for lightning, and falling when we run. Great work, Sophie!

The Storm
a song for the guitar
by Sophie

[sing and strum low notes:]
The thunder is coming,
the thunder is coming,

Oh, no, what should we do?
I know, hide!

[sing and strum high notes:]
The lightning is coming,
the lightning is coming,

Oh, no, what should we do?
I know, run!

[sing and strum loudly:]
The thunder is coming!
The lightning is coming!

Oh, no what should we do?
I know, just GO!
[finale: slide whole hand along all strings from neck to body of guitar!]

Hi Sophie,

I like your wise poem.
I bet you like playing it too.
That is important. When you like
to sing your song,
then it comes from the heart.
I will remember your wise song...
