Hopefully this Hurricane Harvey Anthem song called “Houston Rising” will be a fundraiser song. It also could be donated to someone compiling a footage video to be the background music.
Any ideas on the best way to do this is what I am now seeking. GoFundMe wants ….
So I am not sure I want to enrich GoFundMe’s wallet in these tough times when people really want ALL of their hard earned money to go to for example: The Houston Food Bank.
The very talented Curtis Campbell, “iconic roadie for Steven Tyler, Guns & Roses”, donated his time and studio at The Jam Show in Hurst TX.
Here are the lyrics to ….
Houston Rising
by Kim Feil 8/31/2017
First raw draft melody on youtube unlisted . FYI MP3 studio recording with drums and harmonies is not available until we find a venue/fundraiser internet space for the recording.
VERSE 1: Coastal City washed in pity in the storm of their lives. When the waters rise, so do we like the Cajun Navy.
CHORUS 1: We have togetherness, no decisiveness. When the waters rise so do we let love Trump all.
CHORUS 2: LET LOVE TRUMP ALL LET LOVE TRUMP ALL WHEN THE WATERS RISE SO DO WE LET LOVE TRUMP ALL!
VERSE 2 Our energy plan – outdated to stand & weather the storms of our lives. When the waters rise, so do we. Tap the sun & the winds endless tides.
CHORUS 1 & 2
TAG: When the waters rise so do we let love Trump all.
END: Let love Trump all.

DFWNORML asked me to open for their monthly meeting…only then did I realize their mission/message was working on legalizing pot. I heard of them before but thought they were a fractivist group….that was artsy.
Since Baron asked me to write a song with him…and he dictated the subject matter….I finished it and he was present at the meeting Sunday…but in my mind it wasn’t perfect and in fact I threw out everything mostly and started over…even the rolling part was obsolete but I resolved that at the 2.nd break of the song.
Sunday I was asked to open for DFWNORML which led to me finishing a song Baron asked me to write with him…and he dictated the subject matter….I finished it and he was present at the meeting …but in my mind it wasn’t perfect and in fact I threw out everything mostly and started over…even the rolling part was obsolete but I resolved that at the 2.nd break of the song. In my song lyric research to be relevant…I learned so much about an economy we are missing out on….and in my view of us needing to be farmers and bartering because I disagree with how we measure our success in growing the economy ….consumption-ism is not sustainable of course…hemp farming in addition to food farming (if fracking doesn’t eventually destroy our water sources) could be a plan….the reds are quick to say the dems don’t have a plan…I have trashed my liver on occasion and the microbrews with their inconsistent ABV has taken me by surprise in my 2 limit actually equaled six drinks puke session….I’m ready for an alternative to puking..but I want it legal and I want it in organic, non-pesticide-non-smoke quality control….What syncopation and melody and tuning would YOU use and lets have a fun comparison at the end product….you in?
