[Verse 1]
Leaves turning upside down
(Down, down, down)
Sudden drop in temperature
(Cold, cold, cold)
[Verse 2[
Clouds building (darkening)
Wind changes direction (strengthens)
Upside down… cold, hard facts
[Chorus]
A storm’s a brewin’
(Brew, baby, brew)
Without you knowin’
(No, know no)
[Verse 3]
Birds flying lower (all silent)
(Sounds down, down)
Increased humidity
(Argh! It’s killin’ me)
[Verse 4[
Smell of rain (and of earth)
Distant thunder (is it any wonder)
Forboding (so forewarned)
[Chorus]
A storm’s a brewin’
(Brew, baby, brew)
Without you knowin’
(No, know no)
[Bridge]
The reign hits hard
(oh, so hard)
Using my head
(To retard)
Gotta slow down
(Down, down, down)
Though it means extremes
(Upon my crown)
My crown…
(Going down, down, down)
[Chorus]
A storm’s a brewin’
(Brew, baby, brew)
Without you knowin’
(No, know no)
[Outro]
A storm’s a brewin’
(Brew, baby, brew)
Without you knowin’
(No, know no)
A SCIENCE NOTE
Here are natural clues that a storm is brewing, similar to leaves turning upside down:
-
Leaves turning upside down – Caused by increased humidity and shifting wind, making the softer undersides more visible.
-
Sudden drop in temperature – A cold gust indicates a front approaching.
-
Clouds building and darkening – Cumulus clouds growing into towering cumulonimbus.
-
Wind changes direction or strengthens – Indicates a front or storm edge is near.
-
Birds flying lower or becoming silent – Sensing pressure changes and taking cover.
-
Increased humidity and heaviness in the air – Feels muggy and thick.
-
Smell of rain or earth – Petrichor often precedes rain as moisture releases scents from soil.
-
Distant thunder – Even before clouds fully arrive.
-
Cloud movement speeds up – Higher-level winds may appear faster.
-
Halo around the sun or moon – Indicates moisture high in the atmosphere.
-
Animal behavior changes – Cows lying down, insects becoming less active.
-
Waves on lakes or ponds becoming choppier – Wind patterns shifting.
-
Static or crackling on AM radio – Lightning discharges in the distance.
-
A dark, greenish tint to the sky – Indicates severe storms or hail potential.
These can help you observe and predict approaching storms naturally, especially useful in fieldwork, writing, or teaching nature awareness. Let me know if you want these adapted into a child-friendly nature guide or scouting activity sheet.
