Waiting for the Ocean
Waiting for the Ocean is a song I wrote a while back, during GW Bush’s first term. I heard him speak about global warming, and how it was unproven, even though the facts – actual measurements – were already pretty clear by then. I was disappointed that he blew off the whole issue, and knew it would be like a lot of important issues that are avoided or ignored for one reason or another. My mind wandered as it usually does, and I came to wonder how does one person deal with the climate change issue, assuming the worst of the worst possible predictions come to be? If the water is going to rise, the obvious answer is to mover to higher ground. Hence the song.
