Hurricane
Vow Wow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Whaddya say
It's coming your way
Riding on flames
Making the night into day

Right over there
It's everywhere
Just say a prayer
Cuz you'd be running for air

You'll find you're trapped before too long
Now c'mon and take one hundred thousand megatons
It's coming for you
Now here comes the hurricane

Fighting the heat
There ain't no relief
Making you scream
Bring you down to your knees

Caught in the eye
Burning like ice
Hypnotize
Before the lightning strikes

You'll find you're trapped before too long
Now c'mon and take one hundred thousand megatons
It's coming for you
Now here comes the hurricane





Here comes queen of hurricanes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Vow Wow's song Hurricane depict a forceful and destructive natural disaster heading towards the listener. The song starts with a warning of the impending disaster, "Whaddya say, it's coming your way, riding on flames, making the night into day." The hurricane is described as all-encompassing, "Right over there, it's everywhere, just say a prayer, 'cause you'd be running for air." The urgency of the situation is highlighted with the plea to take action, "You'll find you're trapped before too long, now c'mon and take one hundred thousand megatons, it's coming for you, now here comes the hurricane."


The second half of the song focuses on the impact of the hurricane. The heat is relentless, "Fighting the heat, there ain't no relief, making you scream, bring you down to your knees." The eye of the storm is intense, "Caught in the eye, burning like ice, hypnotize, before the lightning strikes." The final warning is given in the repetition of the chorus, and the hurricane is given a royal status as the queen of hurricanes.

Footage from VOWWOW's UK Tour 11 performances in early 1987.
This video shows a live performance at the Manchester University on February 7 1987,
or Live performance at the Sheffield University on February 18 1987.
I think this video was from a live performance at one of those two venues.

This was still before recording the "V" of the 4th album
The bass player was Kenji Sano, and it was also a rare video before he left

The members were
Genki Hitomi   Vocals
Kyoji Yamamoto   Guitar
Rei Atsumi    Keyboards
Kenji Sano    Bass
Toshihiro Niimi  Drums

昔ね、学校の文化祭やイベントに音響設備貸し出ししたりする友達がいて、一緒にある高校の軽音楽部の文化祭に手伝いに行った。
体育館で準備などしていたら先生がいらして 今日はよろしくお願いします なんてありきたりの挨拶してさ 人見先生って? え!? え? あの?
もー シャツ の腹ピーんてさせてサインください! て書いてもらって 学生バックに歌まで聴けて幸せな1日だった。

@yazawailoveyou

これが30年前のサウンドかと思うと凄い。
当時、数あるバンドの中で1番完成されていた。
彼らは時代の先を行き過ぎた。

@user-wg3wz6fb2h

TELL ME とこの曲は何時聴いても痺れます。

@M6E64

ハイウェイスターと言うより、当時のブリテッシュハードロック定番構成です。
最高に乗れる曲です。
吠える恭司さんのギター!強烈シャウトの人見さん!
日本のハードロックもようやく世界と並んだ瞬間でした。
懐かしい~

@user-ky3tl2zu7g

人見のボーカル鬼気迫るものがある。最高。

@harryboston

One of the first live bands i ever saw, 1986 in the old Marquee club, London! Great songs and memories.

@brianchar-bow3273
