Hold Back The Storm

from Home Waters Live by Sam Carter

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    When Sam Carter envisioned his acclaimed fourth album Home Waters - released in the early throes of the pandemic - as 'a search for a sense of belonging and stability in unfamiliar territory', he couldn't have known how prescient that would turn out to be.

    Sam returns now with Home Waters Live, his first post-lockdown performance with the Home Waters Quartet, captured in exquisite studio-quality audio. This Bandcamp-exclusive album features a brand new version of the traditional English song Just As The Tide Was Flowing, as well as all the songs of Home Waters, alongside selected songs from Sam's back catalogue. The perfect audio companion to the online premiere of Home Waters In Concert, which airs on Bandcamp on 24th September, to coincide with the album release.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Home Waters Live via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

Flood sirens roar
And rip through the quiet life
Sandbag the doors
Brace for the rising tide

But if like the rising tide
We rise in time
We’ll save the yet unborn
If like the rising tide
We rise in time
We’ll hold back the storm

Out in the street
Loud hailers rouse the crowd
They cry: ‘We’re in deep but
Nothing will drown us out’

If like the rising tide
We rise in time
We’ll save the yet unborn
If like the rising tide
We rise in time
We’ll hold back the storm

It’s a brave new dawn
It’s only just begun
As the earth spins on
In spite of all we’ve done

If like the rising tide
We rise in time
We’ll save the yet unborn
If like the rising tide
We rise in time
We’ll hold back the storm
We’ll hold back the storm
