LYRICS
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront
Well, they don’t make winters
Like they use to
Ole Jack Front can barely do dew
Going to mess the fall feeling
Since the temperature’s gone reeling
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

Chords: B E# / E B C#7 F#

LYRICS
Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the alarm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is harming
That’s just a matter of fact

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the harm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is disarming
Nature’s under attack

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
When the harm is disarming
Maybe it’s time to react
we know our farm is harming
Nature’s going to fight back

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

LYRICS
If most haven’t heard
Do you find it absurd?
I cry
Gone dry
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

If most have not seen
Is it quite obscene?
I cry
Gone dry
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

If most haven’t felt
The hand they’re dealt
I cry
Why die?
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

LYRICS
The wind is blowin’
Blowin’ in a storm
My mind is blown
Now it’s the norm
I mean not whether
Extreme weather
Reigning down on me
Forget meteorology
It’s plain to see
Extreme weather
Reigning down on me
[jam up a storm]

The sky is crying
’cause man’s denying
Responsibility
Raining down on me

The heavens sighing
’cause man’s dying
Forged destiny
For none to be

LYRICS
Extreme whether?
Extreme weather!
Volatile all the while
Seekin’ shelter
Takin’ cover
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…
Bomb cyclone

Feel the genesis
Of bombogenesis
Adaptation of Revelation
Cyclical biblical
Of portion proportion
Seekin’ shelter
Takin’ cover
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…
Bomb cyclone

Could be the feaster of a Nor’ Easter
Jumbo shrimp? No need to skimp
Should be a whale of a wail tail/tale
When the mumbo bombo bomb cyclone hits home
If I had my druthers,
I’d rather mainly Maine lobsters*
(*tales hold the clause / tails hold the claws)
Floundering in flounder-ings
I’m up to my ass in sea bass
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…

LYRICS
You’re getting warm
The situation’s volatile
Lesson to learn
Weather’s getting hostile
Sure is a fine line
To define the shoreline
And, the air we share
Who knows what’s in there?

You’re getting warmer
Didn’t wanna alarm ya
Make the same mistake
Warm until we bake

Atmosphere’s
So think it can smear
A sea change wish
Less plastic then fish

You’re what’s left of fine
Together let’s make time
Aware that we’re both there
To mend the disrepair

ABOUT THE SONG
This song is about the increased volatility in weather causing extreme weather events.

We are not saying that the Earth’s temperature is just going to rise. In general, as energy is added to a system, the fluctuations in the system increase. So, we expect more storms, more droughts, more wildfires, more floods, more fluctuations of all kinds. What we are saying is that weather conditions will become more volatile due to the impact of humans — Brouse & Mukherjee

The song was also inspired by current events including:

Style: ExperiMental Music
Chords: Capo 2 (F#) A G E / A E A B7
Recording: digital stereoVocals, Guitar, Keyboards and Synthesizers

LYRICS
I heard the man on the radio say
Tornado Warning!
The storming is coming
Right for you
Better do what you do
Tornado Warning!

Do what you do when you see one
RUN!!!

I heard the man on the radio say
There’s a tornado headed our way
Tornado Warning!
Warning tornado
Like a rotten tomato
Thrown at our picnic just for fun
Time to fold camp. Time to run!

Do what you do when you see one
RUN!!!

LYRICS
The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obviously a storm approaching
Wouldn’t you have to say
The signs are as plain as day

Chorus
Dorthy why aren’t you in the fallout shelter
You ain’t in Kansas… more like Helter Skelter
In a land where you land at the bottom of the slide
Taking man’s best friend along for the ride
Toto, too? Total, too

The circulation of the wind
The severity of the blowin’
Storm tracker has it pinned
Storm warning’s been growin’
Wouldn’t ya have to say it’s as plain as day
Oz, Moses

The clouds are looking quite threatening
Obvious a storm is brewing

LYRICS
Looks like the rule of the sun is done
After all, it’s turning into fall
There’ll be more darkness than light
Looks like the day is ruled by the night

It won’t be long now ’till the Harvest Fest
On the raised praise may we digest

Dear you hear them warn of a winter storm
Said to feature a severe Nor’easter
I’d hat for us to miss this Christmas
Not to get remiss until Easter
The presence of your presence the present
It’s all that need be sent

Did you hear them warn of a global warn
Growing faster — extreme weather disaster

It won’t be long now. All to the Harvest Festival
On the raised praise. Celestial.

LYRICS
The Delaware is running high
Thanks to the banks
For keeping us dry

While on the other side, the well runs dry
While where the well runs dry they cry,
“Is salvation hiding nearby?”

Flanks of the ranks
Make trying a try
While on the other side, Fat Cats — big, fat & wide

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song was written on South Street at Penns Landing along the Delaware river in Philadelphia, PA (after a record rainfall.) The polarity of the flood and drought conditions around the world is used as a metaphor for the polarity between the “have’s” and the “have not’s”.

LYRICS
The scene I’m seeing — extreme
Obscene… we’d let it get to this point
Whose regret… the point of no return

Polar vortex hex on the East
Brave the heat wave on the West
At least…
Someone suggest, “Try our best!”

From what I’ve seen — extreme
I mean… talk about a butt joint
Someone shout, “Before the edge, turn!”

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about extreme weather events and human induced climate change. The day it was written and recorded the East and West coasts of the USA where acting bi-polar. The East was getting hammered with a snowstorm and polar vortex… while the West was on fire in a heat wave.

Pourin’ pours in

There’s a hard rain falling
Mother Nature’s calling

Deserts barren
Not raining at all

Yeah, we’re hot and sweaty, too

Hot all day and all night
There’s no relief in sight
Ha ha ha hot

There’s a thunderstorm rollin’ through just ’bout every day

Well, the world won’t stop for you to get off

No, we never could get to fulfill enough
