It’s not hard to recognise a Dog Trumpet song.

The sound has a familiar feel, the performance has a trademark excellence.

That’s not a surprise, given the close and long-lasting relationship these two have had.

Altogether, that’s a high expectation to have of this musical collaboration, but they deliver every time.

The topic here is the Lismore floods. How do you compose something that talks of that, without making is completely mournful?

I’ve been too close for comfort to bushfires, but never a major flood. With a bushfire, there’s always a feeling that you can fight back, that there could be a shift of wind, something.

With floods though, there’s a certain inevitability. There’s water, it’s coming, you can’t stop it, all you can do is delay and divert.

To make this work, you first have to tell the story, they excel at lyrics.

First setting the scene …

“Down in sheets, it rained and it rained for weeks”
“Better take care, when bad luck drowns out your prayers.”

… and then watching the inevitable …

“.. the river keeps rising, watching your world disappear …”
“… it’s all out of order, it’s all under water …”

… as always the community response is heroic, in its classical sense of impressive in size or scope, where old scores are set aside. An echo of Lawson’s fire at Ross’s farm …

“… in the mud and the debris, you came out to help me, while your own house was under water …”

Packaging this into three and a half minutes is truly impressive, and I’ll always remember that line “… it’s all out of order, it’s all under water …”
