Talk Time - Desperate Weather

People are interconnected. The more we live and learn about our world, the more we're convinced it’s not just people — but the universe that is a fabric that is all connected, entities that are part of bigger entities, life on this planet, the stars and beyond — we’re all part of the same thing.

At some point Edson was hate watching a lot of TV news, politics of weather and how the earths climate and the world economic climate will be brutal in a few decades. This song came out of that period, and writing it gave way to a mantra to use when bummed out by our modern maladies.

Lyrics:

Well I saw it in your face
I know you are going nowhere
And those little bad thoughts
And temptations
In the faces you wear

Avenues crossing you
Baby we were so very clever
Hollow youth haunting you
Or maybe its the desperate weather?

Take a look at your life
Can we step in the light
Can we keep it together?
Take a look at your life
Can we step in the light
Will we keep it together
Ever?
No?

Keep me strange
And awake in this
Ocean of cells
Prearranged for mistakes
And a need for some help
We all need some help
There'll be no one else

Animals on the loose
Safe to say it feels like a failure
Hollywood on a noose
Maybe we can be something better

Take a look at your life
Can we step in the light
Will we keep it together?
