Don is not only gifted with such a ‘sweet’ singing voice, but has other talents as a rhythm guitarist, drummer, bassist and also experiments on the piano to produce and arrange tracks.

Don has a very charming personality and his musical abilities have given him privileges at an early age of working alongside some of the greatest artists such as Paul Young, Dennis Brown, ABC, John Holt, Maxi Priest and many others. Don has even supported international artists like SWV, Massive Attack, Lisa Stansfield, and Wet Wet Wet.

In 1993 Don collaborated with Trevor T of Juggling Records and came with the huge Reggae hit ‘See it in your eyes’. This held the number 1 position in almost every Reggae chart for 12 weeks. ‘Lovers Do’, his follow up single entered the then Echoes Chart at number 9.

Don’s first album titled ‘Don Campbell, The Album’ was released in May 1994 and is still selling internationally and can still be found amongst most Reggae Lovers Collections. 1994 saw Don at the British Reggae Industry Award where he picked up 4 Awards for ‘Best New Comer’, ‘Best Male Vocalist’, ‘Best Singer’ and ‘Best Songwriter’. The Echoes paper described Don as ‘The most exciting UK Reggae Vocalist to emerge’. In 1995 at the Black Music Awards, Don walked away with Awards for ‘Best Reggae Soloist’ and ‘Best Reggae Single’.

In 1996 Don collaborated with General Saint, landing a number 1 spot in South East Asia with the cover of 60’s singer Neil Sedaka’s song ‘Oh Carol’ which was internationally a huge success.

After extensive touring all around Europe, South East Asia, Africa, America, Australia and Canada, Don returns in 1999 with an album called Reggae Max. Don went on to doing three more exciting albums between 2002 and 2004.

2005 sees the birth of ‘Blu Jeanz Records’ and ‘Camm Street Publishing’ owned by Directors Don Campbell and General Saint who have two rising stars signed to the Company - so look out for the whole new package, don’t say you have not been warned.

Don still continues to tour around Europe and England and is one of the UK’s most sought after Reggae Artists.

The final word from Don is ‘Even better things yet to come’.

The Storm Is over Now
Don Campbell Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was in a tunnel
And couldn't see the light
And whenever I'd look up
I couldn't see the sky
Sometimes when I'm standin'
It seems like I done walked for miles
And my heart could be cryin'
Dead in the middle of a smile

But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
Heard a small voice sayin'
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Come on and set me free, whoa
Now in the midst of my battle
All hope was gone
Downtown in a rushed crowd
And felt all alone
And every now and then
I felt like I would lose my mind
I've been racin' for years
And still no finish line, oh
But then I climbed the hills
And saw the mountains (Mountains)
I hollered help 'cause I was lost
Then I felt the strong wind
And then a small voice sayin'
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Come on and set me free
Somehow my beginning stepped right in
(Right in)
Then faith became my friend (My friend)
And now I can depend
On the voices of the wind
When it's sayin' (Sayin')
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah
(Heaven is over me)
Won't you come and set me free
Won't you set me free
The storm is over
(The storm is over now)
And I can see the sunshine
(Somewhere beyond the clouds)
I can feel Heaven, yeah

(Heaven is over me)
Won't you come and set me free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Don Campbell's "The Storm Is Over Now" describe the singer's journey from a place of darkness, hopelessness, and desperation, to a place of hope, renewed strength, and faith. The first stanza conveys the singer's struggle to find his way out of a metaphorical tunnel, where there's no light and no clear path. He speaks of how he's been walking and crying, feeling lost and alone. However, he then reaches a point where he sees the mountains and reaches out for help. It's at this moment that he hears a small voice that reassures him that the storm is over, and he can finally see the sunshine beyond the clouds. In the second stanza, the singer is battling a sense of despair and hopelessness, "feeling all alone," "racing for years," and seeing no finish line.

Line by Line Meaning

I was in a tunnel
I was struggling and felt trapped

And couldn't see the light
I felt hopeless and lost

And whenever I'd look up
I tried to find hope but couldn't

I couldn't see the sky
I was surrounded by darkness and despair

Sometimes when I'm standin'
At times when I tried to move forward

It seems like I done walked for miles
I felt exhausted from trying but getting nowhere

And my heart could be cryin'
I was deeply depressed and hurt

Dead in the middle of a smile
My happiness was only a facade

But then I climbed the hills
I found a way to rise above my troubles

And saw the mountains
I gained a new perspective and saw a new path

I hollered help 'cause I was lost
I reached out for assistance in my time of need

Then I felt the strong wind
I was met with an unexpected force

Heard a small voice sayin'
I found comfort in a small yet powerful message

The storm is over
The difficult time has passed

(The storm is over now)

And I can see the sunshine
I found hope and positivity

(Somewhere beyond the clouds)

I feel Heaven, yeah
I feel grateful and blessed

(Heaven is over me)

Come on and set me free, whoa
I am ready to embrace the next chapter of my life

Now in the midst of my battle
While still dealing with struggles

All hope was gone
I felt completely defeated

Downtown in a rushed crowd
Feeling lost in the hustle and bustle of life

And felt all alone
I experienced isolation and loneliness

And every now and then
Occasionally

I felt like I would lose my mind
I struggled with mental health and emotional distress

I've been racin' for years
I had been struggling for a long time

And still no finish line, oh
My struggles seemed to have no end

Somehow my beginning stepped right in
Something unexpected turned things around

(Right in)

Then faith became my friend (My friend)
I found strength in my faith

And now I can depend
I trust in a higher power and in myself

On the voices of the wind
I am open to guidance and inspiration

When it's sayin' (Sayin')

Won't you set me free
I am ready to let go of my struggles
