The Atmosphere by BTI published on 2021-01-02T03:33:38Z I wrote and recorded an album with my son Stevie (age 12) during the covid lockdown of 2020. It's called The Lockdown. Come listen to 16 songs about family, written by a family. This song is about overcoming challenges, and getting stronger together. LYRICS You could shine in the bright sunlight but you’re not a diamond are you? It takes years of weight, a continental plate, a whole ocean on you And you can’t go down, go back to the ground, so the lightning and the thunder gotta do for now When the atmosphere comes crashing down, drink deep of the rain or you’re gonna drown ‘Cause you’re only getting stronger from what’s pushing you down, if it don’t kill you If it keeps on raining, I just might find you I ain’t hesitating, I’ll be by your side But you win when you lose, and we’re better in two’s And nobody else can pay your dues, If it keeps on raining, we’ll be high and dry Picture where there is nothing in the air but the dry warmth of sunshine Whatcha think there could grow without a drink ‘cept a California fault line? And we all need a flood and a drag through the mud, to relate to the pain of the others that remain If the air gets cold we’ll be laying in the snow, but its never gonna happen with the heat that we throw And we’re only getting’ stronger, but you need to go, and I still love you If it keeps on raining, I just might find you I ain’t hesitating, I’ll be by your side But you win when you lose, and we’re better in two’s And nobody else can pay your dues, If it keeps on raining, I’ll be back for you Sing high, sing low, all the words that you know It’s a tune that you find when you’re leaving me behind And the wind may howl but you’ll hear it anyhow And it brings me back to you, and you can find me too If it keeps on raining… Copyright 2020 words and music Brad Lipsig Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
