Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The numbers compounding
Interest is due/do
The blunders dumbfounding
Redresses few
Search for something new
What else can we do
To bring into view
The welcome sight
Of the guiding light
Alright / all right

Some sums are doubling
Interest is due/do
The outcomes are troubling
Redresses few
Search for something new
What else can we do
To bring into view
The welcome sight
Of the guiding light
Alright / all right

The totals staggering
Interest is due/do
Dissonance lingering
Redresses few
Search for something new
What else can we do
To bring into view
The welcome sight
Of the guiding light
Alright / all right

LYRICS
Hear the tick tock
Of the alarm clock
Before it goes off
In the morning
Forewarning

Steam coming to a head
Dreams hanging by a thread
Pre-mourning
Fare warning
Ingenuity coming
Genuinely brainstorming

Better think something up
about our cup
It’s not half-full
… on empty
Can you see

Steam coming to a head
Dreams hanging by a thread
Pre-mourning
Fare warning
Ingenuity coming
Genuinely brainstorming

So it’s said
We made our bed
6 feet under the daisies
All we dread
We bred their head
Who created the crazies?

Steam coming to a head
Dreams hanging by a thread
Pre-mourning
Fare warning
Ingenuity coming
Genuinely brainstorming

LYRICS
Beyond the envelope
Unlocks
Outside the box
Given the depth and scope
Unbind
Your mind
We can find the time
To be kind

Inside the interlope
Unlocks
The paradox
Given the depth and scope
Unbind
Your mind
We can find the time
To be kind

At the end of the rope?
Unlock
Outside the box
Given the depth and scope
Unbind
Your mind
Envision death, say nope
Unwind
Your mind
We can find the time
To be kind

LYRICS
Is this not how you thought
Things ought to be
When you said you wanted things for free?

But, when these things are yours
Opens different doors
Your years of fears
An eye for an eye
An I for an I
Might gain insight
Into might
Slight-of-hand
Understand
Night
Just might
Insight
Into might
Right?

This is a song about Man’s worst enemy — Man. In July of 2023 we wrote the paper, Climate Change: End of Times.

I love sunlight, elevation, trees, fresh air, and wildlife. It is becoming ever more obvious my dreamlife is coming to an end, and I will be forced to tunnel under.

Fresh air, water, food, and light will also be problematic; however, your most severe concern will likely be security. Those with supplies will be at high risk of being raped and looted. Good luck!

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Limited knowledge
Never went to college
Doesn’t know true
I tried to tell you

Watching the sunset come into view
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

Took vacation
Missed education
Dimwitted, too
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

Out to lunch
Drank too much punch
Never comes through
(Human race, you’re drunk.
Can’t think, thank, nor thunk)
I tried to tell you
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

DR0000_0167-Watching-the-Sunset.mp3

A song about people taking pictures of the sunset through the smoke of the Canadian wildfires. “Smoke particles also scatter light, and because they are larger than air molecules, they also scatter the orange and red colors. That results in far more red and orange in the sky than we are used to seeing during the daytime, imparting a surreal hue,” as reported in the New York Times. Is it ironic that people take pictures of pollution and comment on how beautiful it is?

LYRICS
Train of thought
Get ‘er running
Hey, why not
Make it stunning?
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End
Begin

Jumped the tracks
With their facts
Runaway train
Of harebrained
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End
Begin

Off the rails
Rides collide
Tattered sails
Crew divides
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End
Begin

All our trains of thought
Have come to their final stop
The last station on the line
Damnation of our time
Let’s see if Man can
Start again
After we bring The End
Begin

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Out the southern exposure
A clear sky is on the make
While northern low pressure
Gives fear as it overtakes
In the middle
Of in between
Twist and meddle
A peaceful scene
Birds take flight toward the light
As men learn to fly… or die
My, oh, my
Do or die?
Touch the sky
Or kneel and cry?

In the middle
Of in between
Twist and meddle
A peaceful scene
Birds take flight toward the light
As men learn to fly… or die
When pigs grow wings
… and other things
(I’m flyyying)

Those days of living free
With no responsibility
Elude me
Those times of living large
Oh so arrogant
Pay the rent
Racking up dues
For the Age of the Blues

Help with the timing

When the storms that loom
Bring the doom
… from…
Every which way
Wouldn’t you say
The days to pray
Long fade away?
Day-by-day
Fade away
Find our way
… or fade away

When wildfires transpire
Growing every higher
… and…
Every which way
Wouldn’t you say
The days to pray
Long fade away?
Day-by-day
Fade away
Find our way
… or fade away

When all are in awe of the thaw

Long fade away?

Fade away

LYRICS
Trying to maintain the harebrained
Harder and harder to sustain
Regain
The strength in our numbers
Woke the giant who slumbers
Today it’s best to run away
Due to our ignorance
Of our arrogance
I’d say today
It’s best to run away (run away!)

Fact of the matter
We’re deep in sheep
And that flock of sheep is in deep sleep
Bo-Peep?
[Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep and doesn’t know where to find them.]
The strength in our numbers
Woke the wolf who slumbers
Today it’s best to run away
Due to our ignorance
Of our arrogance
I’d say today
It’s best to run away (run away!)

Could it be a lemming conspiracy?
“Follow me into catastrophe”
Into the sea!
The strength in our numbers
Woke the rodent who slumbers
Today it’s best to run away
Due to our ignorance
Of our arrogance
I’d say today
It’s best to run away (run away!)

LYRICS
How long do you think we can all live
When all there is is take and no give
At first it was hard to conceive
Then, it was hard to believe
Man’s gumption
For consumption

How long do you think there’s left to live
When we squandered what’s meant to give
At first it was hard to conceive
Then, it was hard to believe
Man’s gumption
For consumption

What are the odds that your gods
Forgive your debts let alone regrets?
Our dues past due
What shall we do
Our past, rear-view
Welcome to our big ta-do
Too
Ta-do, too

At first it was hard to conceive
Then, it was hard to believe
Man’s gumption
For consumption

LYRICS
Adrift at see
I see me
Which way the wind blows
Nobody knows
While the clouds crowd the scene
Sky’s looking mean
Waves misbehave
As the sea see’s me

There we go!
Another blow
Do you have a sinking feeling
On my knees
If you please
I’m bailing

Are you getting see sick
Now the plots getting thick?

Written in a boat on Lake Wynonah, PA
A song about introspection as dark storm clouds roll in over your stalled boat. Similar to the feeling you will get when you realize you are adrift in the climate crisis… and start to consider the possibilities of bailing.

LYRICS
Try to squeeze out a little bit more
Let the drill spill
Then bore some more
No defense
Till we come to our senses
A consensus
To our well-being
We can drive straight through the night
And still can’t seem to get it right
Navigating for miles and miles
Never contemplating pollution compiles
Piles and piles

Try to burn up all in store
Fire-up higher
Truth?
Ignore
No defense
Till we come to our senses
A consensus
To our well-being
We can drive straight through the night
And still can’t seem to get it right
Navigating for miles and miles
Never contemplating pollution compiles
Piles and piles

Land dries up
You tryin’ to fry us?
Poor on water
“My life” bias
No defense
Till we come to our senses
A consensus
To our well-being
We can drive straight through the night
And still can’t seem to get it right
Navigating for miles and miles
Never contemplating pollution compiles
Piles and piles

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Oh, Baby
Can’t you see
It’s not the heat
It’s the humidity
(Likely both to some degree)
Need to cool down
Find out how to dry things out
Drowning in drought
Bound…
… to cool things down
Saturation seeks evaporation
Got to sweat it out

Oh, Baby, can you believe
There’s no belief we’ll get relief
Found we’ve unwound
Need to cool down
Find out how to dry things out
Drowning in drought
Bound…
… to cool things down
Saturation seeks evaporation
Got to sweat it out

Though heat is hot
It’s not all we’ve got
There’s plenty of humidity
Pushin’ up “feels like” degree
Need to cool down
Find out how to dry things out
Drowning in drought
Bound…
… to cool things down
Saturation seeks evaporation
Got to sweat it out
Saturation in need of evaporation
About “sweat it out”

During July of 2023, much of the world was suffering through a heatwave. June and July saw hundreds of new record temperatures. Some of the days were also extremely humid. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

Sweating is essential to cooling down when hot weather causes the body temperature to climb. “Sweat is one of the main ways the body cools itself. But on a humid day, sweat has a harder time evaporating into the air.’ In high humidity, the air is already nearly full of water vapor and can’t hold any more. “That’s where the hot, sticky feeling comes from,” explains Dr. Benjamin of Health Partners.

When water evaporates, it turns from liquid to a gas which requires the transfer of a huge amount of energy. In our experiment from 2003 “The Waterfall House” and “The Economics of Turning Water Into Electricity“, Sidd found, “for every cubic foot of water that evaporated it took 61000 BTU with it.”
