Storm (Heather Nova Album)
''Storm'' is the fifth studio album by Heather Nova, released in 2003 as the follow-up to ''South'' (2001).

The album itself was a collaboration with the band Mercury Rev. The track "Let's Not Talk About Love" features vocals from French artist Benjamin Biolay. The lead single "River of Life" did little to help album sales due to its lack of a radio-friendly sound (that dominated ''South South is one of the cardinal directions or Points of the compass, compass points.

3 (three) is a number, numeral and digit. It is the natural number following 2 and preceding 4, and is the smallest odd prime number and the only prime preceding a square number. It has religious or cultural significance in many societies.

The Nāgarī script rotated the lines clockwise, so they appeared horizontally, and ended each line with a short downward stroke on the right. In cursive script, the three strokes were eventually connected to form a glyph resembling a with an additional stroke at the bottom: ३. The Indian digits spread to the Caliphate in the 9th ...
