FAWM: "Water Over the Bridge"

Water Over the Bridge

Skirmish: Bridge(s) or Bridging (@kahlo2013)

Liner Notes

Lyrics

It's been raining forever On the saturated ground And just look at the river Rising up over the mound And the waters all bubble Looking from a nearby ridge You know you're in trouble When the water's over the bridge

It's a bit of a drawback Living on a big flood plain And the hills are a switchback As you struggle through the torrential rain And you stare at the river Looking from a nearby ridge And it gives you a shiver when the water's over the bridge

The rain's falling down The weather is set There's no way to town Without getting wet

10 metres of water The river's in flood Avoising a slaughter A rowing boat would be so good To plan reconstruction Looking from a nearby ridge You see the destuction when the water's over the bridge

Love these lyrics, great performance too, water over the bridge what a great topic for a song

Cool take on the Bridge prompt. Love the upbeat rhythm pattern, great vibe. Rivers flooding, living in the hills - sure can be tough. Very relatable and spot on!

This is a cool song. I like the idea of the seemingly endless rain having covered the bridges

@richardmasters 1w

Yes, it's a really good melody and the hook is spot on. That's quite a punky right hand technique, like it

As another person living in England right now, this sure hits home… This has such a great feel to it - really catchy tune and (too) relatable lyrics! Nice work.

Loving this melody! You are rocking that ukulele! Excellent imagery in your lyrics makes this come alive! Nice work on the skirmish!

Beautiful, poignant take on the prompt. I love your vision and creativity. Fantastic singing and playing.

The uke on this was a perfect choice it works great with your song. Also leaving to the melody for "the rains falling down.." section and then bringing it back home was nice on the ears. Thanks for sharing

I love the line “you know you’re in trouble (it gives you a shiver/you see the destruction) when the water is over the bridge - such a powers literal image and a great metaphor. Love your delivery as well, the strum moves it forward like a flowing river.
