Written while The Coral were rehearsing for a television shoot at Parr Street Studios in Liverpool to promote their album Distance Inbetween which was also recorded there, “Stormbreaker” was developed from Paul Molloy’s guitar riff that he came up with for the extended jam section of “Fear Machine”...
[Verse 1]
She breaks the storm
The rain surrounds her
Hands you her pain
And you forgive her
You will forgive her
She calls this life
Her last temptation
The seas will rise
And you'll believe her
You will believe her
[Chorus]
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
[Verse 2]
She comes to you
Wrapped in a dark cloud
Makes you a king
And you receive her
You will receive her
[Chorus]
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
And when she walks
You crawl beside her
Clutching her pain
Begging to love her
Begging to love her
[Chorus]
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
She's a stormbreaker
Stormbreaker was written by Paul Molloy & Nick Power & James Skelly.
Stormbreaker was produced by Rich Turvey & The Coral.
The Coral released Stormbreaker on Fri Aug 10 2018.
James Skelly:
We always have a bit of a jam somewhere on an album. I think on every album! So that song’s what we used for that, really. […} [It’s] that thing of when you love something or you love someone, they show you their pain. That’s what you love, in a way. Not the things that are perfect.
