Mercury in Transit
from Dave Bradley · host Dave Bradley
My latest song, something of an insistent retro rocker inspired by the recent transit of the planet Mercury across the Sun and the thoughts that evoked regarding the message we might imagine it sends to us here on planet Earth. Mercury, the winged Messenger of Roman mythology has been there as a warning sign again and again, evolving, revolving in transition...the pressure is on, things are heating up, the mercury is rising, we must take heed for the sake of the planet and for the sake of humanity. Mercury in Transit With wings on your heels and solar wind in your hair You dance around to face the Sun, No time for subtle scares A message to the world it seems, the one that doesn't care Will they listen to your warning in transition they appear "What comes around, comes around," you tell them as you fade Evolving, revolving, spinning out your day You wonder why nobody cares, nor listens to a word you say Your message told above the clouds, it's price they'll have to pay In transition, in transition, moving on In transition, in transition, counting on a transition to a better world the journey comes undone But the mercury is rising, so it's time to look beyond the sun No wind in your sails, and death around you draped You travel 'cross the ocean waves the torment to escape The message from the world: Your life you'll have to scrape And never heed the warning of transition taking shape "What's going down's going down!" you cry out as a slave Churning, returning, the sea becomes your grave You wonder why nobody cares, nor offers any word to save Your message lost below the sea a crisis for the brave Your message lost below the sea a price no one should crave In transition, in transition, moving on In transition, in transition, counting on a transition to a better life the journey comes undone And the mercury is rising, so it's time to watch beyond the sun (look beyond the sun) Words, music and arrangement - Dave Bradley Acoustic, electric and bass guitar - dB Vocals and percussion programming - dB Engineering, mixing and mastering - dB Video montage - vimeo.com/166218674
