about

There are threats we face for which there is no longer time to wait. A response is needed now or we will have lost the opportunity to act.

lyrics

I feel that water rising up when I stomp the ground
I feel that crack of lightning over that hill
You know it’s high tide, and it’s high time
And this flash flood is ready to spill

The stream is full of flotsam. The controls have been eased
The forcasters are forcasting coming in from the East
Is a deluvian force, dressed in red and stained orange
Rising up like a thunderhead

I feel that water rising up when I stomp the ground
I feel that crack of lightning over that hill
You know it’s high tide, and it’s high time
And this flash flood is ready to spill

Just put your hand upon the Bible because we care where you lie
You won’t get swept away if you hold this flat real tight
Shutter all the windows, shudder to think
The river is rising, the river is rising.

I feel that water rising up when I stomp the ground
I feel that crack of lightning over that hill
You know it’s high tide, and it’s high time
And this flash flood is ready to spill

There’s a crackle in the atmosphere you feel it when you breathe
All the morons say it’s sunny from their home on TV
But just look out your window at that darkening sky
Aint gonna be no steady ground left, boys, swim or you’ll die

Swim or you’ll die, swim or you’ll die
Just look out of your window at that darkening sky
Swim or you’ll die, swim or you’ll die
Aint gonna be no steady ground left boys swim or you’ll die

G.F. Patrick Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia-based guitarist and songwriter G.F. Patrick uses a Georgia-born post-country voice to examine the lives of everyday people and the way their unique pressure points have brought them to the given moment. While staying true to the folk and country idioms, he deftly repurposes song styles to attack outdated archetypes, putting music to the narratives of the overlooked and forgotten. ... more
