<blockquote>It's been a long time
Never thought this would be
You've always been mine, but I have to be free
Golden sunsets, reflections on the sea
A reminder, of what used to be
Roaring thunder, northern lights
Through the night, they fly
Pounding hearts, epic voices
Rising to the sky
Everything changes, but love remains

==Background==
Heartache lingers, can we be strong?
It is not known exactly when "Roaring Thunder" was recorded, outside of it being in or before July 2021. Given that Roaring Thunder clearly had a higher production value than any other of Daniel's songs at the time, it was immediately clear that the song was recorded in a professional studio. This was paid for by [[Bob Proctor]]. Confirmed by [[Flexburger]]<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj46bn8/</ref>, as well as according to multiple other [[r/Daniellarson]] members<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/pj1b6j/who_actually_helped_produce_roaring_thunder/</ref>, "Roaring Thunder" was written and produced by Tom Capek of Colorado Sound.


Of course, Daniel claims to have written the song himself, but this would be almost impossible; Daniel is nearly [[Intelligence|illiterate]] and obviously does not possess the capabilities to write such lyrics. Instead, it has all but been confirmed that Bob purchased the rights to a pre-written song (or multiple songs.) This would cover all tasks such as mixing and mastering, such that all Daniel would need to do is record vocals in the studio, and recieve the final song.

The price to produce "Roaring Thunder" is completely unknown. At the low end, this would probably still cost a couple thousand dollars, while at the high end, Bob could have paid for a multi-song package (where "Something More" and "Merry Go Round" were also recorded) and paid over ten thousand dollars. It's safe to assume the latter, considering the skill needed to fix Daniel's vocals.
Through the night, they fly


==Live performances==
Pounding hearts, epic voices
Daniel has "performed" Roaring Thunder multiple times since release, and almost every time he sings it in the wrong key and tempo.


He attempted to sing it on December 7, 2022, completely botching the flow and key of the song.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/zfp9y3/live_concert_of_roaring_thunder/</ref>

In a desolate live stream, Daniel sang a portion of "Roaring Thunder" to around 98 viewers on December 31, 2022, while hiding from the rain in a port-a-potty at a park.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/100c9g2/rare_roaring_thunder_performance/</ref>

==Reception==

"Roaring Thunder" is the subject of polarized opinions. Many fans, especially on TikTok, consider it to be his greatest song and constantly praise it. However, other fans take a more unbiased approach and have panned the song for being generic, overproduced garbage.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/15wtm24/roaring_thunder_opinions/</ref>

Lyrics

It's been a long time

Never thought this would be

You've always been mine, but I have to be free

Golden sunsets, reflections on the sea

A reminder, of what used to be

Roaring thunder, northern lights

Through the night, they fly

Pounding hearts, epic voices

Rising to the sky

Everything changes, but love remains

My heart and soul, longs for that again

Knowing I'm home, where I belong

Heartache lingers, can we be strong?

Roaring thunder, northern lights

Through the night, they fly

Pounding hearts, epic voices

Rising to the sky

Ten thousand miles away, it's a new day

My heart beating along

Will you catch me if I fall?

Roaring thunder, northern lights

Through the night, they fly

Pounding hearts, epic voices

Rising to the sky

Roaring thunder, northern lights

Through the night, they fly

Pounding hearts, epic voices

Rising to the sky

Roaring thunder, northern lights

Through the night, they fly

Pounding hearts, epic voices

Rising to the sky

Roaring thunder, northern lights

Through the night, they fly

Pounding hearts, epic voices

Rising to the sky
