Well done, chicas y chicos!! (boys and girls ). The windy songs are emerging charmingly for this entertaining game and so we enjoy a bit while we all are waiting eagerly for the great release of the next month of April, TAAB2 !! What a wonderful time ahead!!
Pat, breeze is an acceptable term for the subject. The definition in my english dictionary is clear, breeze = gentle wind. Brilliant Roxy Music's song, a band that I love as you do, however they made a big shift of musical genre along their career, from progressive rock style to pop music one, with a big success on both of them, have to say it. If I have to choose a song from the progressive era, hands down it would be that one (no connection to windy subject, it's just for checkin' by all of you how marvellous is) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSniBxXjK_8
Bowie's Wild is the Wind has been an enchanting find for me, nice song. I didn't know it. Thanks "Quizz Quid"
Passion Play, you got an excellent choice, as Derek has said. A really good blues song by Mick. Thanks for taking part on the role. I believe many top rock windy songs will be soon emergin' from our blowing minds.
Great finds you also got so far Derek. Jimy is always present on the games I have accomplished by now. Recall the train songs thread. Chris Rea's is perfect for the matter, a great song. Kansas's was a tremendous hit, lovely tune, excellent finds.
Wow Darin, collosal voice the singer has and excellent playing by the Heart band, wonderful song about winds. Great find. Thanks for involving into the game.
Jim, you nailed it with Ian's El Niño. This is a good example of the great amount of songs about winds without mentioning the word on the main title of the song. Good "blow" amigo
Pat, Water's has been another great find by you, a singer I know you worship a lot. Wonderful song. . thanks again.
I stumbled fortunately with an outstanding Camel's one, Air Born. I add some lyrics of the same one to demonstrate it does deal with the main subject. You see the sea feel the sky Don't know where you're going You don't, you don't know the answers To what's in my mind Riding on the wind and turning with the tide

I wonder why kind of sweet songs like this one haven't still been posted. It isn't so hard finding.Don't stop blowin' brothers and sisters . King Crimson - I Talk To The Wind

This is a song even my wife recognizes. I gave her the album as a birthday gift while we were still dating. She listened to it then, but was not into prog at all. Later she returned it to me and went back to listening to the Bee Gees. I guess it's not for chicks.

Women, women, women , still my wife likes listening some of our music when I play it on my car player. . Jim, Bee Gees had two eras, obviously I'd indeed rather the late 60's one, that wasn't so bad in any way.
Philamore Lincoln was a psychodelic rock band which captivated me from the first listen a year ago. Their windy song calls The north wind blew south:
Have all a good weekend, if it happens don't overlook thinking of a windy song
"Wild Is the Wind" is a song written by Dimitri Tiomkin and Ned Washington. The track was originally recorded by Johnny Mathis for the 1957 film Wild Is the Wind. The song was very popular and was one of five songs nominated for an Academy Award; it was sung by Johnny Mathis at the March 1958 Oscar presentations. It was later covered by Nina Simone on the album Wild Is The Wind (1966). David Bowie recorded a version of it in 1976 for his album Station to Station. Bowie was an admirer of Simone's style, and after meeting her in Los Angeles was inspired to record the song for his album. Nina Simone - Born Feb. 21, 1933 Tryon, North Carolina - Hey that's where I live!
Great song Pat. David Bowie made it better.
Thanks Jim for the great story about this excellent song. Nina Simone was a top-notch artist in the musical history. Glad to know she was from the same area than you.
A big radio hit about wind stuff by Scorpions

My favorite all time Genesis' album and song of non-Peter Gabriel era (And Then There Were Three - Burnin' Rope) mentions, on a single paragraph, something related to a windy point:
The warming sun, the cooling rain, The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze, The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through. The words of love, the cries of hate, And the man in the moon who seduced you Then finally loosed you.
That's awesome, Derek. Word windy is mentioned clearly therefore is suitable with the main subject. Thanks for exposing this Tull's gem.
Tull has some songs mentioning the windy matter. One with a bit complex link to winds is "The Whisler" because in fact this definition apparently hasn't to with winds too much , however I've found in my English Theasaurus dictionary a different meaning of The Whistler that can interpret itself a slightly link to winds:
archaic turn a trained hawk loose by casting it off with the wind.

Thanks John, Jeff & egrorian for joining us on this windy journey.
What a superb Santanas' song relatin' to the main subject of the thread, you've have for good chosen, John. Many thanks for this great windy musical find.
Cat Stevens' beatiful song was on my list for posting later, in any event GOOD PLAYED with this huge windy find, egrorian. Thanks again for joinin' the game and nice to have met you on this special Tull board.
Jeff, such a good proposal with this album with a windy title you've made. About the absence of winds references on this, I thought the same as you did, but sorry you haven't explored throughout the lyrics of that wonderful Genesis' album. If you read now better the lyrics of "Your Own Special Way" tune, you'll find a windy reference on this verse:
Whose seen the wind not you or I, But when the ship moves she's passing by. Between you and me I really don't think, She knows where she's going at all.
And also there's a slightly reference to winds on the last verse of the best song of this album for me, "One for the Vine", (though i'm not too certain the word "air" on that sentence has to do with a windy fact) :
Then, on a distant slope, He observed one without hope Flee back up the mountainside. He thought he recognised him by his walk, And by the way he fell, And by the way he Stood up, and vanished into air.
Derek, another brillian find from you, now with the Midge Ure's original outfit, Ultravox, you've inspired by now, I liked a lot the song. thanks
One of my all time favorites--The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald
many mentions of wind..gale and hurricane
Great song Charlie! I was jammin' when this came out too.
"The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of the big lake they call "Gitche Gumee." "Superior," they said, "never gives up her dead when the gales of November come early!"

Charlie, what a sensational windy Gordon's tune musical proposal you have granted us.! One of the best ones I've so far listened here. Bob Dylan once called him the greatest songwriter of all times, "honored words", I agree. Thanks for your effort. .
Here I go again with Jimy - Little Wing (a clearly windy reference on just one sentence)
Well, she's walking through the clouds, With a circus mind that's running wild, Butterflies and Zebras, And Moonbeams and fairy tales. That's all she ever thinks about. Riding with the wind.
Come on folks, there are a lot of windy mentions inside your old vinyls lyrics covers. Doing that other many forgotten surprises by you will come to pass, I can confirm you.
