A song about climate change and our effect on the planet, its climate and our future. Inspired by a Nature paper about 'the trillionth tonne' of CO2 emissions, this song had/has a working title of 'Sonoma' and was originally about grapes 'withering on the vine'... I didn't realise that 'withering on the vine' is an expression about doing nothing while a problem gets worse and worse, which fits in very well with the subject of climate change.

This song is the 'twin' song of 'Fool' - both songs were written within 48 hours of each other back in May, and both songs were recorded and published online within 24 hours of each other... in August. Both songs were written and played using a bouzouki as opposed to a guitar.

wither on the vine
poisoning the wine

the futures on the line
running out of time

what have we done
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

beyond the trillionth tonne
planets going to burn
facing everyone
the barrel of a gun

too late now
can't blame it on the sun
the time will come

what have we done
don't blame it on the sun
the time will come

Hear Me Out!

Second single by Philadelphia's indie-pop band Heliocentric Overdrive
Dedicated to all those explorers pushing the boundaries of human space exploration!
lyrics
Counting down
A million thoughts
now hold on
for dear life
cleared for launch
all systems go
the instruments
all come to life
final checks
ready for launch
t-minus zero
time to blast off
rocket thrust
it lifts off
Shake, Vibrate, accelerate

Ripping through the atmosphere
feel the thrill of being here
weightless, floating in space.

Out in space
traveling fast
exceed the limits
while hoping that
these very moments
forever last
so many dangers
but can’t look back

going further
than anyone
take precautions
but follow none
of the our steps
we leave the trace
Shake, Vibrate, accelerate

Ripping through the atmosphere
feel the thrill of being here
weightless, floating in space.

Rhododendrons - Lyrics

Light the way
I don’t have the words to say
Anything in any way
They’re floating in the bay

Spider hands
Crawling ‘round inside my head
I wear my brother’s clothes to bed
Fill the pockets up with lead

A videotape
Playing in the garden with my sister in spring
It’s distorted and grey
On Valentine’s Day
I might look like I’m living
Living on the outside
But I’m fading away

Drown the day
I don’t have the nerve to stay
Lemon juice and Valium
I am very thin

Out of breath
Every night I dream of death
In Bethlehem and Nazareth
All their hands are falling off

A videotape
Playing in the garden with my sister in spring
It’s distorted and grey
On Valentine’s Day
I might look like I’m living
Living on the outside
But I’m fading away

And with light on your side
You live another life but I
Am in the bible blackness

A videotape
Playing in the garden with my sister in spring
It’s distorted and grey
On Valentine’s Day
I might look like I’m living
Living on the outside
But I’m fading away

Closing Ceremony

Rhododendrons

Set the lights low and
Bite your lip
Move in so so slow
Rest your feathered head
On my shoulder
Lights flicker on the wall

Time just fades away
In widescreen ballet
Reclining in our seats
As the shows repeat

Set the lights low and
Bite your lip
Move in so so slow
Rest your feathered head
On my shoulder
Lights flicker on the wall

Motion of our eyes
The blurred sense of ease
Emotion on the screen
Colors shine so brightly

Set the lights low and
Bite your lip
Move in so so slow
Rest your feathered head
On my shoulder
Lights flicker on the wall

Movie Night

I see you walking down the street
Your summer eyes, they're shinning down on me
I'm moving fast but you make time move slow
It's hard to think baby when I'm losing control

Those Friday nights in the circus
Have me acting like a fool
I swear I'm really funny
When I'm not trying to act too cool

Baby, I'm just trying to say
I'm doing the best I can
Hold on, it's gonna be a bumpy ride
So take ahold of my hand

My little hunny pie
yeah my little hunny pie

They city sleeps like an angel
when you're laying next to me
can you feel it like I feel it
I need you to see that it's me you're looking for
