Lightning and Thunder (Pseudo/Lyric video)

WE'RE GOING ON TOUR!

Official pseudo/lyric video for 'Lightning and Thunder' by Marianas Trench.
© 2024 604 Records Inc.

"This entire album is based on “The Hero’s Journey,” by Joseph Campbell. He studied fables and myths until he broke down a singular plot pattern most stories follow. Each song on the album represents one of those plot points. Every story begins with a call to adventure. Lightning and Thunder is about finding out we were going to have our first child. Probably the biggest call to adventure I’m ever going to experience." – Josh Ramsay

LYRICS:

It was so faint that I
Thought that it didn't work
I said it's okay but I
Missed that you saw it first
And it felt like it took forever
Now this moment’s all we’ve got
So can we just stay awhile
A second’s faster than we thought

Twist of fate
In the dark
Face to face
With who we are
Put away
What we lost
Compensate
With what we got

All it takes
Just get through one last show
Before our hearts both break
And we can both let go
And jump

Now we’re falling
We’ll never ever be the same
Fate is calling
It's turning burning in my veins
It's stronger and harder
Than lightning and thunder

And this is only just beginning

I'm afraid of what if it isn't what it takes
But what we’re made of
You cut it but it never breaks
It's stronger and harder
Than lightning and thunder
And this is only just beginning

I guess I felt estranged
Couple of years go by and now so much has changed
But sometimes I feel my mother and father in the room
It’s like their hands are on my shoulders
So I think they feel us too

Twist of fate
In the dark
Face to face
With who we are
Put away
What we lost
Compensate
With what we got

All it takes
Just get through one last show
Before our hearts both break
And we can both let go
And jump

Now we’re falling
We’ll never ever be the same
Fate is calling
It's turning burning in my veins
It's stronger and harder
Than lightning and thunder
And this is only just beginning

I'm afraid of what if it isn't what it takes
But what we’re made of
You cut it but it never breaks
It's stronger and harder
Than lightning and thunder
And this is only just beginning
This is only just beginning
This is only just beginning

Lightning and thunder
Yeah

My wife is expecting our first baby any day now. We listened to this song together this morning. We both decided we want it to be with us in the hospital and it to be the first song our son will hear. Thank you Josh and the band, I absolutely love it and can't wait for your European Tour. Love from Poland! <3

The line about his parents made me start crying. I’ve lost both my parents and I do still feel my Mom around me.

[ChaiElemental]

B'sha'a tovah to Josh and Amanda! (For context, that's a Jewish expression meaning "in a good hour, " and it's a wish for the baby to be born healthy and safe/you hope everything works out perfectly.)

[amarajuneau]

This is incredible. Congrats to Josh & Amanda 🥹❤️

It's crazy how Marianas Trench has followed me through life. I discovered them early in high school with Masterpiece Theater and Ever After. Graduated and went off to college with Astoria, finished college and started my adult life with Phantoms, and now I have these new songs come out months before I get married 😭 Thank you for soundtracking my life!

I kid you not, last night I told my husband we needed to take a pregnancy test. The second line was also faint. We ran to the store for a second, which burned brightly. We then listened to this song and had no idea of the meaning until we saw the announcement on Facebook earlier today. What the most perfect coincidence ever. ❤

[Gurlzup]

With the context of a baby announcement, it makes so much sense. Congrats!

[joyholmes]

Man, it's looking like this may become my favorite album ever.

[Danibug]

I knew it! As soon as he was posting about weird foods that Amanda was wanting!

[JenniferAdwokat]

This is such a great movie song. When the main character decides to change their story and do things for the better. I can totally see it! Love this!

[Amy-hlrx]

What a beautiful song, announcement, journal entry, and tribute!!!! That's incredibly exciting, and you express it with such tenderness! Congratulations to the Ramsays!!!

[StillAmanda]

This song slaps, but also are we going to acknowledge the description soft launching a baby announcement?
