When The Waters Rise – Blog Action Day My contribution to Blog Action Day, this year on the topic of climate change, is a song called “When The Waters Rise”.

When the Waters Rise Lyrics When the waters rise, when the waters rise, It’s started to rain, could go on forever The puddles grow then join together As the waters rise With energy a change of current The trickle soon becomes a torrent And the waters rise We’ll have to move abandon camp, where once was desert now is damp And the waters rise The balance kept by plants and sea has pushed beyond the boundary The gas surrounds us like a cloak a million years gone up in smoke With climate change, a world in motion, Then the ice caps melt and join the ocean And the waters rise In the short term we can head for the hills, In the longer run we’ll all grow gills and the waters rise The weather warnings made no mark, Now there’s no time left to build the Ark As the waters rise.. When The Waters Rise Blog Action Day #BAD09 Blog Action Day The aim of Blog Action Day is to raise awareness through concerted blogging about a single issue coordinated on one day.

October 15th is Blog Action Day so I performed my song "When The Waters Rise - blog action day" last night at Havering Folk Club When the waters riseWhen the waters rise, when the waters rise,It's started to rain, could go on foreverThe puddles grow then join together | As the waters riseWith energy a change of currentThe trickle soon becomes a torrent And the waters rise We'll have to move abandon camp, where once was desert now is damp And the waters riseThe balance kept by plants and sea has pushed beyond the boundary Now the gas surrounds us like a cloak a million years gone up in smoke The climate's changed, the world's in motion, Then the ice caps melt and join the ocean And the waters riseIn the short term we can head for the hills,In the longer run we'll all grow gills and the waters riseThe weather warnings made no mark,Now there's no time left to build the Ark As the waters rise..Here's another version of the same song recorded at the previous Tuesday Evening 7.00pm Live Webcast

last night I returned to playing Andy Roberts Music at the Havering Folk Clubon a slightly quieter than usual singers night. Some of the regulars were off sick with colds etc and the audience seemed less inclined to join in the singing. There were some excellent new floor spots though, with more guitar players than usual which makes a change.So I played my most recent version of Searching for Venus with reference to the recent conjunction of Venus and Jupiter with the moon. Hmm, well it seems the version on Last.fm is very different so maybe I'll need to re-record that one in the new year.Then I played "When the Waters Rise" which is a dramatic tango about climate change but realised I haven't successfully memorised all the words yet.Due to the new campaign to start the evening's entertainment more promptly there was even time to do one number in the second half so I played "The Wreckers Prayer" again since I've been getting some very positive feedback about that particular song.
