i don't know if this is allowed but since we are doing "the elements" i personally believe nobody does it better (or more often) than the microphones. here are some samples for inspiriation.. cuz i do my best to rip this guy off day and night.

The Blow part 2

Oh (?a person's name?) you have burned me
You have taken me and turned me
Into a cloud of smoke, glass, stone, humming wind
were we wrestling or were we hugging?
and these backpacks we were lugging
what deep damage we have done, you were my friend
though the last three years were sunny,
thunderclouds shaded my tummy
now let the breeze be felt, let go my pale skin
oh the blow

oh the blow you have my hunger
you have my quake
you have my thunder
and when I turned to gold then you took my best friend
You're on a war, devouring blindly
I heard your slurping sounds behind me
As I ran you took the joy of giving in

I give up on your dark looming
I see you I say: good bye human
Now give him back, give it back
I want my own wind
To blow

Great Ghosts (this one is just a favorate of mine. not specific to wind)

I have my hopes of how I would be after living in exile
after closing your eyes to me
I even wrote scenes where I re-emerged boldly, bearded alive
with eskimo eyes
(?) on my back
but I didn't count the fact that I have ghosts in my mind, stored away
great ghosts of my life
great ghosts of old wives
and their howling
so I spend my wilderness time, rolling on the ground
pulling my hair and wrestling them of
yelling at none, punching snow
I gathered ghosts and gave them my lecture, bid them away, I pleaded and cried
there's no room in my life for you or your howling
let my undo these ropes and go on living without you
not just change where I live
go on get, I said
I had my hopes of how I would be after sending them of
after getting set free
but there's no such thing as living without their prowling
as you can see, having descended the hill
I still look like me, I still wallow as Phil
and forever will
I'm teaming with ghosts and I still whining for wifes, unkniting my brow
but now I've surrendered
In fact I've joined in
You can hear us howling

anyways.. 90% of all his songs incorporate wind, earth, fire and so forth... that's his "thing" you should check em out if you like what i've posted
