FAWM 50/90 2023 song 30
written and recorded on September 8, 2023

So, the plan was to play Starfield all day. Then I went to the Dungeons and picked up the electric 12-string. Plans change. So I wrote the musics, and recorded the musics, then took a break and got my son from school. Then a storm whipped up for the brief walk home, and we got drenched. So, change we did (hence the new clothing for the vocals). Also, I read a lot of J.G. Ballard and John Christopher and other eco-apocalypse tales. It's my thing.

Lot's of storms a brewin' in the Atlantic. And the Pacific. And, well, everywhere.

lyrics

Why do I hate the Southern Sky?
The clouds are turning black again
The rain is getting mean again
It’s time to find a way home

Where do I find a little time?
To change the pictures in my brain
To stand up to this hurricane
I need to find some time
I need to try

The stars have disappeared into the void
The wind will change the face of the world

How do I change my fate again?
The water blocks my way ahead
The power lines have all gone dead
It’s time to find a new way home

And so I find that the pictures of the dead
Leave their traces flailing all around
Their faces buried underground
I need to understand
I need to find some safer land
I need to try

The time to change has slipped away
And now we face a darker day
The stars have disappeared into the void
This wind will change the fate of the world
