"Long Way Down" by David Guilbault
SONG: Warnings upon warnings. Signs upon signs. Warmings upon warmings. When will we heed them? When it gets too hot to breath or too cold to survive?
I wrote “Long Way Down” in 2015. It was a warning, like the warnings of so many others, still unheeded. And the earth continues to get warmer and warmer.
“Last month was the planet’s warmest June since global temperature record-keeping began in 1850, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said in its monthly climate update on Thursday. The agency also predicts unusually hot temperatures will occur in most of the United States, almost everywhere except the northern Great Plains, during August.
The first two weeks of July were also likely the Earth’s warmest on human record, for any time of year, according to the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service.” - The New York Times
"LONG WAY DOWN" by David Guilbault "Long Way Down" © 2015 David Guilbault Dark has fallen. Night is pierced with ice. Shadows harken The crippling cold. Souls are calling For the fright of guilty eyes. Bellows bark. Screams unfold. Bellows bark. Screams unfold. It’s been a long way down. It’s been a long, long way down. It’s been a long way down. It’s been a long, long way down. Waters rising. Hives all dead and gone. The beast is dying In the sun. The air is hiding Behind the stench of ruin. Time is passed. Day is done. Time is passed. Day is done. It’s been a long way down. It’s been a long, long way down. It’s been a long way down. It’s been a long, long way down. Past the warning, Cast a feeble sight. Deadly warming. Dreadful world. Nothing born in The sulfur and the fire. Scorching heat. Endless scorn. Scorching heat. Endless scorn. It’s been a long way down. It’s been a long, long way down. It’s been a long way down. It’s been a long, long way down. _________________________ PRODUCED by ERIC PADGET Released by True as Blue Music & DistroKid ISRC: QM2PV1707556 _________________________ David Guilbault: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar Nick Nordahl: Lead Acoustic Guitar _________________________ Words & Music by David Guilbault (BMI) "Long Way Down" © 2015 David Guilbault Recorded & Mixed by Eric Padget at Noise, Noise, Ouch, Stop Records (https://noisenoiseouchstoprecords.bandcamp.com) _________________________
