about

A song about embracing anxiety, change and uncertainty and learning to flow along with it rather than standing in eternal struggle.

lyrics

I feel it in my bones
the tide is rising
my mind is gliding
the tide is rising

I feel it in my soul
the tide is rising
my mind is gliding
The ground is sliding
the tide is rising

don’t be afraid
it’s only water
to wash away your fears, your doubt, your pain...

I feel it in my throat
the tide is rising
there’s no horizon
the world’s colliding
the tide is rising

don’t be afraid
it’s only water, it’s only water
don’t be afraid
it’s only water, it’s only water

Of late there’s raged a hateful a war in me
exhausted soldiers left the battlefield

the tide is rising, the tide is rising,
And I will rise along, rise along with it.
And I will rise along, rise along.

His voice always seem to strike a chord with his audiences, along with his decadently charming on-stage persona, his concerts at times comprised of stories within stories and songs within songs. ... more
