I am not sure I hear the word "thunder" though I have no other suggestion as to what it may be. I try really hard to make it fit bbut in my mind I cannot. I will have to listen to it in complete silence some day when I have time!
huh interesting because I totally here "thunder" the lyrics I'm iffy on are "Dancing all dancing spells never unearthed" cuz I have no idea what she says through most of it, but I hear "under" rather than "unearth" for some reason.
yeah when i typed that, that whole part is the most iffy part of the whole song, not really positive on what she's saying..
i sorta just molded what i thought she said together for that line..
I'm almost sure she says
"I thought I heard your voice in the thunder"
it's the line after that that I'm really unsure of, although I'm almost sure she says "never"
--and I agree with you, it does sound like she's saying "under" BUT, the alternatives for "under" make no sense at all.
like "never under" "ever under".. i just don't get.. but if you listen closely, you can hear the faint "thed" sound after "under" (especially the first time she says it) which drives me more positively towards "unearthed" especially because "never unearthed" makes sense.
although, sadly I'm not sure what would make sense before "never unearthed"
I swear I hear "spells" and definitely a word that ends with "-ing"
so I tried my best to make lines that sound almost exactly like what she's saying, and make sure that they make at least a little bit of sense.
She may or may not be saying the exact same thing the first and 2nd times she says it...
probably is the same thing.. although it sounds slightly different the 2nd time than the first.
ok, so here is me analyzing this even more... line by line in order..
(first one)
I tried to think ... what can you do with "spells" .. well it sorta sounds like "testing" to be honest ..well if you take the 2nd "T" sound in "testing" .."casting" is also a possibility, which would make sense, something you can do with a spell... cast it. as odd as it sounds in this song, but then again, it's sort of magical itself, now isn't it?
ok so... next word.. sounds like "on"
casting on... hmmm... maybe "all" ? "long" ? ..ok upon more listens, definitely probably not "all" ..really sounds like "long" here. because I hear "ong" and the "l-" sound is short and quick anyway.
casting long, testing long.. next word...
"distant" ? "distance" ? ..testing long distant spells never unearthed. actually i'm pretty sure this is distant rather than distance. (she's probably saying the same thing in the next line which is where i probably heard 'dancing' from)
alright well, let's analyze the 2nd time now...
the first word sounds different, yet the same as last time..
sounds like "antsy" actually. "and she" .. "-ancing" I just transformed it into "dancing" which I now realize is completely wrong.
"and she yelled distant spells never unearthed" is my best guess for now for this line, but I can't help but think it could be the exact same as the first time she said it....
it still could be "casting long distant spells never unearthed"
but wait, let's go back a little..
still 2nd time here..
sounds like "and she y'all" I don't think it's "yelled" because the word ends with an "all" sound (see my original lyrical thought)
could this be "long" again?? maybe it is, maybe Vanessa just slurred it a little.. I mean, she is kinda singing this part fast.. it is possible... but I REALLY don't hear the "g" ending to "long" it really ends with "all"
"and she all --?-- spells never unearthed"
it honestly doesn't sound like "distant" this time.. vaguely like "dancing" but I hear an "a" sound in it. like "daa_ss_omm" almost like "did some". or "dan some" but not really "some" like "sin.. in" .. "dancin" ?
I donno, if I had to give it lyrics for now I would say
"and she yelled distant spells never unearthed"
bleh! I can't wait to hear another recording of this.
