Ah, You Short-Circuit All My Nerves!

I love rainy days! I'm an absolute sucker for delicious and dream cushion tunes, and Smokey Robinson isn't exactly helping. As if this song didn't already make me want to disappear under comforters, his androgynous voice is perfect for whisper-singing between pillows and sheets.

There's a hot-chocolatier Groove Boutique remix to this that I can't find. It's on the Motown Remixed Vol. 1 compilation album with another Smokey Robinson song, "The Tears of a Clown" and the sexiest version of Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On" I've ever heard (yes, it gets sexier!)

Smokey Robinson, "Quiet Storm"
Soft and warm
A quiet storm
Quiet as when flowers talk at break of dawn,
Break of dawn
A power source
Of tender force
Generatin', radiatin',
Turn me on, turn me on

You short-circuit all my nerves
Promising electric things
You touch me and suddenly there's rainbow rings

Quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life
Oh, quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life
Blow, baby

Windy sigh,
Weaken my
Butterfly caught up in a hurricane,
Hurricane
Lucky me,
I'm better free
Suddenly I'm caught up in your somber rain

Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop

Quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life
Through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life
Through my life
Through my life
Through my life
Through my life
Blowin'
Blowin'
Blowin'
Blowin'

Hail soft storms of love on me
Let them play on my desire
Kiss me softly
Let your lightning light my fire

Quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life
Through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, (blowin')
Blowin', blowin'
(Through my life)
Through my life
Through my life
(Quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life)
Quiet storm, (blowin')
Oh yeah

Shower me with your sweet love
I will bathe in every drop
Through all the seasons let it pour and never stop

Quiet storm, blowin'
Through my life
Through my life
You're just like a quiet storm, (blowin')
Warm and tender
(Through my life)
Oh, through my life
Quiet storm
