Tornado Song
Clandestine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will gladly go where I have never travelled,
I will gladly go where I have never been.
And he rumbles and he purrs,
And his eyes are large and slow,
And she tosses in his arms,
And she tries to keep control
The tornado inside her refuses to slow,
And the lovely shall be choosers, shall they?
Voices thunder from the sky
And it all becomes too much
when the lovely make the quiet cry.
I will gladly go where I have never travelled,
I will gladly go where I have never been.
The lyrics of Clandestine's song Tornado Song talk about surrendering to something unknown and uncontrollable. The singer of the song is willing to go wherever they have never travelled before, even if it is something unfamiliar or intimidating. The "he" mentioned in the lyrics is possibly a metaphor for the tornado inside her, which continues to get stronger and harder to control. Despite her efforts to keep everything together, it appears that the singer is losing control of the situation, and she is seeking comfort in the arms of "him."
As the storm grows more and more intense, she feels overwhelmed, and the voices in her head become louder and more threatening. The "lovely" mentioned in the lyrics could refer to those that are perceived to be beautiful or perfect, but even they are not exempt from feeling the pressure and pain of the storm. In the end, the singer is willing to go wherever the storm takes her, and to surrender in the face of something that she cannot control.
Overall, the Tornado Song is a metaphorical reflection of the human experience of confronting the unpredictable forces of nature or life itself. It reminds us of the importance of letting go and embracing the unknown, even when it feels uncomfortable and scary.

I could listen to Jen and Emily sing all night. More intoxicating than whiskey and with no headache after.

Thanks for sharing, I found this band on a magical day playing in New Harmony Indiana. I heard the start to play from a mile away and walked until I found them. It was the most memorable live performance I have ever experienced.

Is Clandestine still together? Enjoyed seeing you guys in person twice years ago. Thanks for the memories!
@SwampAtheist
@Lucky Dawg Productions Moderator They are still together and perform in Houston on occasion. Though their line-up has changed somewhat, they are still among the best.
@LuckyDawgProductionsModerator
@SwampAtheist Thanks for the info. Surely enjoyed seeing them in person twice back in the day. My favorite Celtic group ever. Cannonball, Miner's Lullaby, Bushreels, and more are all fantastic songs.
