Caught In The Storm

J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!

Broadway sensation songwriting duo Pasek & Paul penned this ballad for the NBC musical drama "Smash" in 2013. The lyrics speak of the type of stormy relationship that's exciting but ultimately dysfunctional and so hard to let go of. The arrangement features an alto soloist for the first verse and again to close out the number.

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto & Tenor Sax

You can push me away, I can take it
I can make you a promise and break it
We know the way it goes by now

Running off just to see if I chase you
I pretend I know how to replace you
Still we get tangled up somehow

Hear it thunder
And I wonder
How long can I hang on

I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
I'm ready to drown
It's coming down
But I feel so alive
Just let me go
Just walk away
If you love someone you never let them stay
Caught in the storm

As the bars on The Bowery are closing
You arrive at the door standing frozen
You say you thought you'd find me here

Tell me how I begin to forget you
When you keep coming back and I let you
Love me until you disappear

I'm caught in the storm
I'm caught in the rain
I'm caught in the rush that hides this pain
I'm ready to drown
It's coming down
But I feel so alive
Just let me go
Just walk away
If you love someone you never let them stay
Caught in the storm

Let me wash away
You can find me after the flood
Let me wash away

Caught in the storm
Caught in the rain
Caught in the rush that hides this pain
It's coming down
But I feel so alive
Just let me go
Just walk away
If you love someone you find a way to stay
Caught in the storm
