Turning The Tide

from Little Things by Crystal Casey

about

I’m fascinated by the fact that history lives in perpetual motion between Dark Age and Enlightenment... Over and over, back and forth. It's the same pattern we see throughout the universe— In sleeping and waking, in darkness and light, in life and death. There is a rhythm to everything.

In a sea of those going along with the motions and desperately trying not to make waves, it only takes one action to shake things up and set off a turn of events. The catalyst is a determining part of the cycle. This is an ode to that catalyst, that one little wave.

The music aims to elucidate all of the above, from the shifting of meter back and forth between 4/4 and 6/8 to the rising and falling waves of vocalizations as we come gently crashing to the end of the song. May we all live to see a Renaissance. Soon.

lyrics

“This is how it’s always been,”
According to the clever men.
“Look along the horizon,
Our Order has forever won.”

One little wave in the ocean, she came
Turning the tide untame.

Everybody fell in line,
Convinced that it would all be fine,
"Calm waters will prevail."

Everybody fell asleep,
It seems that we were counting sheep.
Drift safely afloat
This collective boat.

One little wave in the ocean, she came
Turning the tide untame.

One little wave in the ocean, she came
Turning the tide untame.

One little wave, and that’s all that it takes
Watch what a storm it breaks.

One little wave, and it turns into more
Crashing upon the shore.
