From the album 'Resolute Heart'

This song about realizing everything you have could be swept away in a minute. Your home - your life - everything. 

I think our shared home, earth, is rich with so much magic and wonder. I'd hate to see it washed away. Not even one bit of it. 

Let's take care of our home, our planet and each other. What could you do, or ask someone else to do, to mitigate losing what we love and hold so dear? Will the climate crisis potentially wash away your home?

The song is what one might call a musical interpretation of a coming flood and the results as such.

Best played loud (safely, though).

Written, performed and recorded by David Porteous.


Lyrics:
To never give in, align it with the flood.
Prepare to say ‘we will bare.’
It’ll never make up. It’ll push you to the edge.
Until that we cannot bare. 


[Left / Right:]
(kiss and go) /  
Where you at / More Stress
Where you at / Push up
Settle Down / Cool Down
  / (don’t let on)

Now then went in deep, and tired from dread,
Pretending those ‘high hopes.’

The city awakened!
And the darkest in lightning!
Where is the heart?
This is who we are right now, this is who we are right now.
And the bullshit lies.
And the sun sets right.
And the eyes will fall.
Head down, the wall!

Long gone the days where we where, where we were.
The push to the name, qualified dead instead. 
Too far gone to recall the things you said.
Too late? Deny it! Saddened and heightened.
Into the wild where we are, where we are!

I swear, we took a turn and we never learn!
I miss the lonely, do with duality.
Into the wild, where we heart, where we are.
