Harm Before the Storm
It’s important that we face up to the fact that rising global temperatures are resulting in serious weather events, which are only going to get worse in future. I will probably keep banging on about this because it’s not going away and I’d like my children to inherit a world where they can live in safety and without fear.
PS. I’m proud to have got this one done despite suffering from Covid!!! Go me
Great tune, Simon. Loving this!
Go Simon! Ain’t no stopping you..even with the wretched Covid! And we really don’t “have the right”. Powerful lyric and a driving rhythm to push it home.
Very well done, especially as suffering from Covid! A nice tune. Good job.
The Covid Kid. Great song Simon and well performed considering the illness. Very important message in there. Tidy
Thanks everyone! I was hoping Covid would give me a lot more “husk” in the voice but no, I just sound like I’ve got a cold ha ha!!! I’m definitely on the mend now – so glad I made the effort to get a song out there.
Your encouraging words make me feel great!!!! Thank you all
Love the “harm before the storm” title! This is a great song – very listenable. Gets the message across without being preachy,
Thanks Kris – I try to avoid being preachy but it’s a fine line to tread. Good to know I’m just the right side of it at the moment.
Lyrics and melody fit together wonderfully well! I enjoyed the rhythm which felt kind of aptly ominous and thoughtful. Has the feel for me of some of Sting’s solo stuff. Good job! Hope you’re well.
Well done in getting this written and recorded while struggling with covid. Important message, conveyed through this well-written song.
Tracy – I am indebted to you for comparing me to Sting… I can retire happy now. I know I’m a long way off the heights reached by Sting…. maybe I could be ‘Rash’ or ‘Spot”?
Thanks Paul – your words are much appreciated.
You capture that fear in the drive and the darkness of this. Powerful Simon, keep shouting your message! Also, what a great performance. And on a nerdy note, you have some good lighting going on there!!
There’s certainly a storm brewing and Imlove the way you capture it rolling towards us with your guitar rhythm. A timely message delivered with conviction. ??
As you know I love your stuff Simon. This has a different feel and is just as strong. A great riff and hook!
Another great one Simon. Really cool vibe and important message. The tune on the chorus really memorable, love it.
Excellent Simon. That was really powerful. Holing one chord for a long time is a very powerful tool for melody development. Loved it!
I’m a specialist in playing one chord!!!!! Ha ha (it’s the second and third chords that cause the problems…)
