A heavy track this one in dropped 'D' to give it extra bottom end.
The title explains it all really but on occasions we all encounter a weather situation that can in some cases be quite biblical. We see on the news, areas across the globe devastated by hurricanes, tornados, cyclones, tsunamis and violent thunder and lightening storms.
Our weather is getting more extreme these days and it is all because our planet is changing and all the green house gasses are causing the polar caps to melt which in turn puts more water on our planet. As the old saying goes 'what goes up, must come down. This isn't a anti fossil fuel protest song, it's just an observation of what we have to suffer as a result of global warming and dealing with the onset of a storms and the aftermath. It certainly makes you think about the effect we are all having on our planet.
Maybe one day I will write a piece that addresses our human interaction with our world, if we are all still here to listen to it. Scary stuff!
lyrics
The Storm.
Looking up into the skies, Clouds are building
A stillness in the air, Birds stop singing here!
Appending fear.
Darkness descending, all around us
The Heavens open, rains pouring down on me
One sight to see.
CH) Forked Lightening a crash of thunder
Wind blowing at high velocity
We take cover from the weather
And wait for the passing of the Storm
Lightning Strikes with, such ferocity
For one brief moment, It turns the night into day
There’s buildings aflame
Roofs are torn like, paper off a writing pad,
Someone’s home has gone, the situations bad.
Many more (to be) sad.
The weather is calming Now
The black clouds gone away
The birds have returned to sing once more
The sun heals our faith
As we look on with despair
Counting the cost we all must share
We Know, Yes we Know
The weather isn’t something we control
We know, Yes we know
We wont forget the coming of the Storm
Blue Skies have returned
But our lives won’t be the same
What lessons did we learn this time around
We all must pull together now
For the lives it took in vain
We must rebuild to face another day
We Know, Yes we Know
The weather isn’t something we control
We know, Yes we know
We wont forget the coming of the Storm
We Know, Yes we Know
The weather isn’t something we control
We know, Yes we know
We wont forget the coming of the Storm.

Absolutely hooked on this album from first listen. How rare is that with prog!??? Excellent songwriting and musicianship. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the collection. Thomas Lock
Not long ago discovered this band and needed to get an album. This was one recommended. Truly another Prog masterclass in musicianship. Off to buy more. Ken Dunsmuir

With its debut album, this young band from Vienna follows the footsteps of honorable Austrian prog masters like "Matter Of Taste". The music on this concept album is not of the kind I'd call particularly innovative - it travels pretty much on well known roads paved by many others long ago. However, these youngsters do it in a highly pleasant way, skillfully avoiding the pitfalls of pseudo-progressive phrase rehashing most of the time - certainly more successfully so than several of their experienced grand paragons of prog.
