NJC: Seismic Meltdown

Posted by:

I put this song together over the last few days and a video too.
The words are inspired by a project Imogen Heap is doing with a crowd sourcing song and based on fan submissions. Try to fit teaspoon in lyrics! ;-). My music is however nowhere similar to hers and probably more Jim inspired over the years so I thought this was interesting blend and perhaps you want to year.

I like how the lyrics in the bridge turned out especially:


Seismic Meltdown

This region is ruined
Everything is gone
It came and it took
It was over before dawn
Messages on a wall
families in despair
Longing for loved ones
asking how and where

And escaping brings guilt
when so many have passed on
Being one of the lucky few
can seem so wrong

Embracing each other
whose names you don't know
After this destructive time
where can one go?

But in an Endless Dream of Rainbows
Filled with Grace Bittersweet
In a kaleidoscope of Hope
will be the next place we will meet
A tidal-wave of silence can't break our hearts
This seismic meltdown won't keep us apart

A future now broken
without the light
The fire inside
no longer burning bright
Homes all wrecked
breakwater not enough
We can only find strength
in the ones we love

And so many now missing
leaving so many behind
For all the trying
there is nothing left to find

But in an Endless Dream of Rainbows
Filled with Grace Bittersweet
In a kaleidoscope of Hope
will be the next place we will meet
A tidal-wave of silence can't break our hearts
This seismic meltdown won't keep us apart

So throw me a lifeline
Re-ignite that spark
I don't want to be alone
and surrender to the dark

Teaspoons fall with gravity
Tectonic Plates Shift holds
Fragile life fades away
Blissful Compassion unfolds

But in an Endless Dream of Rainbows
Filled with Grace Bittersweet
In a kaleidoscope of Hope
will be the next place we will meet
A tidal-wave of silence can't break our hearts
This seismic meltdown won't keep us apart
