The reference to &#8220;spouting gas&#8221; alludes to both literal emissions contributing to climate change and metaphorical rhetoric that denies or downplays its significance.<\/p>\n<p>The [Bridge] paints a picture of a looming disaster, where the breaking of a dam symbolizes the catastrophic consequences of inaction on climate change. The imagery of a bursting dam and exploding heads evokes a sense of imminent danger and foreboding.<\/p>\n<p>The [Chorus] reflects on the frustration of feeling unheard and powerless in the face of climate crisis. The metaphor of a cloud bursting with thunder suggests the overwhelming nature of climate change impacts, while the mention of a band playing different tunes hints at societal indifference or denial.<\/p>\n<p>The [Space interlude] provides a moment of reflection, perhaps symbolizing the vastness and complexity of the climate change issue.<\/p>\n<p>[Bridge] again emphasizes the importance of water, a fundamental element affected by climate change, and suggests a need for repentance or correction.<\/p>\n<p>[Outro] concludes with a sense of resignation and reflection on past mistakes, echoing the sentiment that the same patterns of denial and inaction persist despite the warnings of climate prophets.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the song paints a haunting portrait of a world on the brink of climate disaster, with echoes of warnings from the past ringing true in the present. It serves as a call to action and a reminder of the urgent need for collective responsibility and change.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by Memphis Minnie, Kansas Joe McCoy, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Al Green, The Talking Heads, Aerosmith, Genesis, and others.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/change\/Philadelphia-Experiment\/\">To Cause a Change: Philadelphia Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/4D-Music\/\">4D Music: Songs About Science<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Profits Predict.mp4 Profits Predict.mp3 [Space] [Intro] When the levee breaks The heart aches When the levee breaks [Verse 1] The lunatic is spouting gas The lunatic is spouting gas Climate change is his remains [Bridge] And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,3945,9,14],"tags":[163,546,563,3946],"class_list":["post-32852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-4d-music","category-change","category-daniel","category-lyrics","tag-climate-change","tag-mp4","tag-music-videos","tag-philadelphia-experiment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32852"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32880,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32852\/revisions\/32880"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kingarthur.com\/songwriter\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
