Looking Forward to Your Fall (4.3 MB, running time: 4:42)
"Looking Forward to Your Fall" is a serious indictment of Bush by singer/songwriter Eric Anders, that hopefully predicts why Bush should fall. This is another exceptional song by Eric Anders. We are pleased to be able to offer this one to our viewers. Also check out Eric's "How Low and Why" and "So Wrong" that are listed on our Music pages.
More on Eric Anders: Performing Songwriter Magazine describes singer-songwriter Eric Anders' music as "touching on the trance-like ecstasy of David Gray and the deadly seriousness of Nick Drake.... Anders is as engaging a singer and musician as he is writer." You can find more information on Eric Anders and his music by visiting his web site and his blog.
Eric Anders CDs: This song is from Eric's most recent CD: Tethered to the Ground on Baggage Room Records [2006]. Eric has also released these full CDs: Not at One [2003] and More Regrets [2004]. All of his releases can be purchased at CD Baby including Tethered to the Ground.
oh my god, that was so painful to watch. thanks - I wish the whole country could be forced to see what we've let happen.
funny, from the first I saw this topic, this has been running through my head:
Come gather 'round people Wherever you roam And admit that the waters Around you have grown And accept it that soon You'll be drenched to the bone. If your time to you Is worth savin' Then you better start swimmin' Or you'll sink like a stone For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics Who prophesize with your pen And keep your eyes wide The chance won't come again And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin'. For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen Please heed the call Don't stand in the doorway Don't block up the hall For he that gets hurt Will be he who has stalled There's a battle outside And it is ragin'. It'll soon shake your windows And rattle your walls For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers Throughout the land And don't criticize What you can't understand Your sons and your daughters Are beyond your command Your old road is Rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one If you can't lend your hand For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn The curse it is cast The slow one now Will later be fast As the present now Will later be past The order is Rapidly fadin'. And the first one now Will later be last For the times they are a-changin'.
Masters of War was from the early 60s, no? it still applies. on the other hand, the times, they are a'changin' seems archaic now. it's one of my favorite songs ever, but I just don't see a revolution building around here. maybe if everyone watched that Masters of War video... but they won't. we're doing a big favor for those damn ungrateful Iraqi people. oh my god, what has happened to us?
