The Storm
Dr. Bear Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Storms never last, do they, babe?
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you make the sun want to shine

You followed me down so many roads, baby
I picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road we took, Lord knows our search was for the truth
And the clouds brewin' now won't be the last

Storms never last (storms never last, storms never last)
Do they, babe? (They don't last, no, no)
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine (your hand in mine, your hand in mine)
Stills the thunder (stills the thunder, stills the thunder)
And you make the sun want to shine (shine, shine, shine)

Storms never last (storms never last, storms never last)
Do they, babe? (They don't last, no, no)
Bad times, bad times, bad times all pass
Your hand in mine (your hand in mine, your hand in mine)
Stills the thunder (stills the thunder, stills the thunder, yeah)
You make the sun want to shine (shine, shine, shine)

Storms never last (storms never last, storms never last)
Do they, babe? (They don't last, no, no)
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine (your hand in mine, your hand in mine)




Stills the thunder (stills the thunder, stills the thunder, yeah)
And you make the sun want to shine (shine, shine, shine)

Overall Meaning

In Dr. Bear's song "The Storm," the lyrics emphasize the transience of hard times and the importance of having someone to weather the storms with. The opening lines ask a rhetorical question, suggesting that storms (metaphorically representing difficult times) are temporary, and will eventually pass. The next line emphasizes this concept, suggesting that hard times "pass with the wind." The lyrics then describe the power of having someone to rely on, singing "Your hand in mine stills the thunder," implying that being together can bring a sense of calm even in tumultuous situations.


The second verse describes a relationship that has been through many challenges, singing "You followed me down so many roads, baby / I picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs." These lines suggest the characters in the song have been through many ups and downs together, but that they have always been searching for the truth. Despite whatever challenges they have faced before, the lyrics suggest that the "clouds brewing now" (a reference to a current challenge) "won't be the last," but that they will persevere through it.


Overall, the song is a message of hope, emphasizing that hard times will pass, and that having someone to rely on can make all the difference. The poetic language and use of a storm as a metaphor create a powerful image of the temporary nature of difficulty, suggesting that even the most tumultuous moments will eventually give way to calm.
