Story Behind The Song

This song deals with the uncertainty American's feel because of the economic crisis. We just don't know how bad it will be and how much it will hurt us and our families. And it's this not knowing that makes us anxious all the time. This song uses an impeding storm as a metaphor for the anxiety we feel because of the economic mess. And again we are anxious about this storm because we don't know how bad it will be and how much it will hurt us and our families.

Lyrics

Something Blowin' In

Scary when the wind starts swelling so
Something blowin' in
Great big branches swinging to and fro
Something blowin' in
See the leaves in the swell turning inside out
They're rustling in pain, brother, ain't no doubt
What's this big blow all about?
Something blowin' in

Maybe bring rain so the water flows
Something blowin' in
Or the Juggernaut of the tornado
Something blowin' in
Wind pull the house from its foundation
Or will manna from the sky be our salvation?
Absolution or damnation
Something blowin' in

Wise Pharaoh knows instinctively
Something blowin' in
Grain in the silo guarantee
Something blowin' in
Because the storm might sweep the seeds away
Then we're hungry and cold come All Saint's Day
Going to be predator, going to be prey
Something blowin' in

Punishing hail from a sky that's black
Something blowin' in
Can't conceive the sun coming back
Something blowin' in
But one day Sol will come shining through
Forsythia blooms beneath a sky of blue
We'll still be brothers, me and you
Something blowin' in
