The deadliest storm in modern history ripped Pakistan in two and led the world to the brink of nuclear war when American and Soviet forces converged in the Bay of Bengal

In November 1970, a storm set a collision course with the most densely populated coastline on Earth. Over the course of just a few hours, the Great Bhola Cyclone would kill 500,000 people and begin a chain reaction of turmoil, genocide, and war. The Vortex is the dramatic story of how that storm sparked a country to revolution.

Bhola made landfall during a fragile time, when Pakistan was on the brink of a historic election. The fallout ignited a conflagration of political intrigue, corruption, violence, idealism, and bravery that played out in the lives of tens of millions of Bangladeshis. Authors Scott Carney and Jason Miklian take us deep into the story of the cyclone and its aftermath, told through the eyes of the men and women who lived through it, including the infamous president of Pakistan, General Yahya Khan, and his close friend Richard Nixon; American expats Jon and Candy Rhode; soccer star-turned-soldier Hafiz Uddin Ahmad; and a young Bengali revolutionary, Mohammed Hai.

Thrillingly paced and written with incredible detail, The Vortex is not just a story about the painful birth of a new nation but also a universal tale of resilience and liberation in the face of climate emergency that affects every single person on the planet.

Hello loves. Last year I quit my job, my life, packed my things into storage and left my small apartment in Burbank to head back home to Colorado. I didn't know what I was going to do with myself, I was feeling heartbroken and terrified. I stopped for some food in Salt Lake City and The Cardigans "Lovefool" came on in the restaurant. It filled me with so much nostalgia as I loved to sing this song when I was just 6 years old. At 6 this song felt so fun and lighthearted, but at 26 I really heard the lyrics for the first time. It's a damn tragedy; this poor girl just wants to be loved and the guy doesn't give a shit. I've been there, and it hurts, it really hurts. So I decided I must cover this song and give it the emotion that the lyrics command. 

Months later I finally got my life together and moved back to the mountains of California to find myself and become an actual full time musician. I had this cover tucked away on my hard drive, you know so many songs stay there and never see the light of day. I showed the cover to Everett Lee-Sung and Devin Schiro and they were pumped to create a music video for me in Devin's house (he basically lives in a castle). You can watch the video here:

lyrics
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem 
You love me no longer, I know 
And maybe there is nothing 
That I can do to make you do 
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother 
That I ought to stick to another man 
A man that surely deserves me 
But I think you do! 

Love me love me 
Say that you love me 
Fool me fool me 
Go on and fool me 
Love me love me 
Pretend that you love me 
Leave me leave me 
Just say that you need me 
Love me love me 
Say that you love me 
Leave me leave me 
Just say that you need me 
I can't care 'bout anything but you... 

Lately I have desperately pondered, 
Spent my nights awake and I wonder 
What I could have done in another way 
To make you stay 
Reason will not lead to solution 
I will end up lost in confusion 
I don't care if you really care 
As long as you don't go 

Love me, love me 
Say that you love me 
Fool me, fool me 
Go on and fool me 
Love me, love me 
Pretend that you love me 
Leave me, leave me 
Just say that you need me 
So I cry, and I pray for you to 
Love me, love me 
Say that you love me 
Leave me, leave me 
Just say that you need me 
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
