About This Song
The Band Together (http://kingarthur.com/the-band-together/)
is an audio and visual experimental band. One of the concepts being played with is to convey lyrics without using language… in theory, trying to send a message that everyone can understand.
This music video uses flooding footage shot in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania as the audio and visual tapestry for a soundtrack called, “Here Comes The Flood”.
The sound and video of the roaring water were recorded in real time. Hmmm… I suppose you could call this reality music?
The message the band hopes to convey is one of awareness. Much of the world’s population is in danger of rising sea levels and floods. Global warming brings increased volatility to weather systems. The responsibility for the climate change is something to consider.

ABOUT THIS SONG
The song was written and recorded during heavy down pours and flooding.
While thinking about what may have caused the floods, the idea came to mind... that maybe the
rain falling out of the sky was like the fallout from some other man-made event... such as, global warming.
The fallout from the global warming is volatile weather and freak rain storms.
The fallout from the rain is flooding. The fallout from the flooding is damage to the river banks.
The fallout from the damage to the river banks is less vegetation and more global warming. And,
on and on and on.....
Lyrics
Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Bits and pieces falling to the ground
Drips and drabs spilling all about
Killed all the pity in humanity
When we drop a bomb, it won’t be long
’till that butterfly’s wings brings these things
Back near me via the chaos theory
Lookout for the fallout from the fallout
Expectations falling all around
Drips and drabs splattered all about
Filling every nook and cranny of insanity
As the fallout rains down
Our river banks overflow
Causing fallout from our fallout
Now, our disaster chain reaction
Has spiraled out-of-control
Shifting Mother Nature’s position from neutral
Shedding her princess gown
For the garb of the undertaker
We don’t want to come to know
The consequence of our devastation
