Good cool sounding stuff. Great energy and effects

This song struck a chord with John Vallins, a friend who happened to have a studio and, as chance would have it, was even a musician. He liked this one, we recorded it, and the rest is history. If there actually is a history when the seas rise and fires burn.

Verse 1:
They tell me that the seas will rise
And maybe they are right
And maybe not, I don't really care
Nothing's going to happen over night
And by the time it does
I'll have moved into sweet repose
Someone else will have to clean up the mess
That’s just the way it goes

Chorus:
I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time


Verse 2:
If the whole wide world
Becomes an ugly place to be
Someone will have to be living there
But that someone won't be me
So while I'm still alive
I proudly do not care
I'm not particularly interested
Because I won't be there

Chorus:
I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time


Verse 3:
There are strange men on the TV
They claim that it's all a hoax
While they might not making perfect sense
They seem to be clever folk
It suits me to believe
That they just might be right
But let me tell you none of it
Is keeping me up at night.

Chorus:
I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time


Verse 4:
One day in the Future
My grandkids will be grown
Maybe they'll judge me harshly
But I'll be dead so i wont know
I guess I've dodged a bullet
It’s pretty great to be me
I’ve finally found a benefit
Of being over 70

Chorus:
I'll be dead before it happens
It's no concern of mine
It's someone else's problem
In somebody else's time

I'll Be Dead Before It Happens

I'll Be Dead Before it Happens

submission for OST Fragments Jam #3 hosted by resident // cryptid for Itch.IO September 2025

Seventeen year-old Eärendil ​(in Sun-Year 520-521) is about ready to do the initial shakedowns of Vingilótë ​to make sure it doesn't fall apart in the middle of the harbor (that would be embarrassing...) but is having second thoughts about this whole savior of the Free Peoples idea. Círdan ​says 'if you want to dip out and run away that's your absolute right. We won't be best pleased but you are a free individual." (Knowing sagely that he will almost certainly change his mind). The young fellow goes out and has a daydream among the surrounding fields slaying bumblebees /various insects. Essentially the same premise as the 1933 poem except in this rationale both it and Eärendillinwë​​ are now about Eärendil ​, just at different stages of life.
