+"'''Roaring Thunder'''" is a song performed by [[Daniel Larson]]. The song was released on July 15, 2021, and is the first professionally recorded song released by him. It is arguably his best-known song and one of the most well-known parts of his internet career, having over 1.2 million streams on Spotify as of September 2025. The song has also received traction on social media platforms such as TikTok, where the song has been used in over 3,000 videos with some videos reaching well over 500k likes.
+The song was recorded in a professional studio paid for by [[Bob Proctor]]. Even more, it was written and produced by [https://csmedialabs.com/capek/ Tom Capek] of Colorado Sound, who is best known for composing for famous singers such as Eminem and The Black Eyed Peas.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/139sc49/comment/jj46bn8/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/pj1b6j/who_actually_helped_produce_roaring_thunder/</ref> Daniel claimed to have written the song himself, but it's unlikely this is true; he is notably [[Daniel and Intelligence#Literacy|illiterate]] and obviously does not possess the capabilities to write such lyrics. Instead, it is way more likely that Bob purchased the rights to a pre-written song (or multiple). This would cover all tasks such as mixing and mastering, and all Daniel would need to do is record vocals in the studio, and receive the final song.

+== Lyrics ==
+<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
+My heart and soul, longs for that again
-'''Roaring Thunder''' is a song by [[Daniel Larson]]. The song was released on July 15, 2021, and was the first professionally recorded song released by him.
+Knowing I'm home, where I belong
-The song is one of the most well-known parts of Daniel Larson's internet career, being surface-level knowledge for any Daniel Larson fan. "Roaring Thunder" is easily Daniel Larson's most popular song, with over 600,000 streams on Spotify.
+Heartache lingers, can we be strong?
-==Background==
+Roaring thunder, northern lights
-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.
+Through the night, they fly
-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.
+Pounding hearts, epic voices
-==Live performances==
+Rising to the sky
-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>
+Ten thousand miles away, it's a new day
-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>
+My heart beating along
-==Reception==
+Will you catch me if I fall?
-"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>

 Daniel breaks down the meaning of "Roaring Thunder"s lyrics in this video, though one could argue he is clearly making up things on the spot. He also claims the song took "about three months to write" then backtracks and says it took five minutes. Daniel says that "Roaring Thunder" was made during a "hard situation" in his life, where that friends & family didn't believe in his career.
