Liner Notes

This is a mix of the "Independence" skirmish and the Midsummer Oracle challenge. The card I got for the Oracle challenge was "rainfall" and that got me thinking about cleansing, especially as it comes to certain current events in the USA. `

Lyrics

I'm ready for the rain
I can feel it in my veins
Wash everything away
Let the sharks come out to play
It's independence day

Can you see it in their eyes
Empty soul and precious lies
I know you like to fantasize
You might finally reach the sky
Come away with your due prize

But the thunder's rolling
The bells are tolling
Almighty knowing can’t save us now
The storm is coming
But I'm not running
They say it ends in fire and blood
But there's freedom in the flood

Jealousy and toppled thrones
Misery and broken homes
They will use our stolen bones
Grind them down to cobblestone
Say we're things of long ago

And the thunder's rolling
The bells are tolling
Almighty knowing can’t save us now
The storm is coming
But I'm not running
They say it ends in fire and blood
But there's freedom in the flood

So take your children, take your love
Turn your gaze to up above
Anger will never be enough
No, not enough

And the thunder's rolling
The bells are tolling
Almighty knowing can’t save us now
The storm is coming
But I'm not running
They say it ends in fire and blood
But there's freedom in the flood
There's freedom in the flood

Not how I want to get my freedom but this is AWESOME.

It took me a few days to carve out time to listen, but I'm so glad I did. this is awesome. My wife says RELEASE THIS! Fantastic lyrics, harmonies, and that bass driven groove is tasty.

@sheslin 10w

These lyrics combined with your clear well placed vocals and harmonies, along that minimal backing track with the cool bass line is just a wow! The ominous tone is just perfect for your message. Great chorus too.

@beacon 10w

Could you be more awesome? I assume so, but this is top notch. Really like the rhyme scheme in the verses.

@djtjb 10w

That bass tone is so damn appealing. Love the glitchy bell tones around 1:30.

@everythingben 10w

Absolutely love this! There's a calm acceptance and knowing in both the words and the melody that I can't really explain but it left me feeling almost at peace if that makes sense? And it's also incredibly catchy.

@aubrey 10w

WOW! I'm ready for the flood now!! I am fully on board with this beat in more ways than one ✨ you crushed it, excited to see more from you!!

@skyezor 10w

Oooo yes vibes galore on this. Great imagery and Sonic texture

@tarahenton 10w

Very VERY cool, Robyn! Love the slow groove you’ve got going here! That chorus is super smooth and catchy! Absolutely LOVE it! 💪🏻🙌🏻✨

@cookiecatshroom 10w

There's nothing I could say that everyone else hasn't said already; this is INCREDIBLE. The lyrics are so clever, and the driving bass just adds such sass to the vocals. Hell yeah!

@nightwing521 10w

WOW!!! Just WOW!!!

Building to climax after climax. Great lyric (especially love that chorus!) and what a groove!!!

Great write! An absolute keeper!!!

@pabrizzer 10w

all built on the bass drums and vocals - a very satisfying structure and terrific lyrics - big like from me

@andygetch 10w

Oh the build, vocals, layers, and texture. So delicious!

@cindyrella 10w

Gosh, this is jazzy and so powerful! Great lyrics and an amazing skirmish!

@darcistrutt 10w

I'm liking the bass line and the rhymes are great! Nice jazz feel. Wow!

@cblack 10w

Great rhythm in this piece. It's a simple melody over the top, but it works so well. I really enjoyed this. A keeper for sure!

@sunfire 10w

That rhythmic vibe immediately hooked me in. Great sounding tune.

@nwhosings 10w

That bass hooked me immediately. They say it ends in fire and blood//But there's freedom in the flood unlocks so many images in my mind, incisive and rich.
Also your vocals always sound so cool.

@gm7 10w

Great bass and kick drum groove. Yes warnings are on the horizon!
great start. I have something coming your way via email.

@coolparadisoMod 10w

Great beat from the off. Love the pace off this and very relevant lyrics!

@odilongreen 10w

Such a groovy beat! It's raw and stripped back and deeply appealing; I just sink into the earworm music, even as the images and warnings of the lyrics embed themselves in my brain. Such scary and portentous thoughts, so sweetly delivered!

@kahlo2013 10w

Fantastic groove! Love that bass riff and the rhythm! Great backing for your cool melody and vocals! I love the concept of freedom in the flood!

@wobbiewobbit 10w

had me grooving from beat one. love all the little touches throughout. What a strong start. I can picture the storms near you literally tied in with the your political "climate" So good - flying of the blocks! woohoo!
