Frank Turner - Try This At Home Video Series Part 3: The Next Storm

Continuing with my 'Try This At Home' video series, this time talking about the song 'The Next Storm'. My second book - 'Try This At Home - Adventures in Songwriting' is out now! http://news.headline.co.uk/TryThisAtHome The Next Storm Lyrics We had a difficult winter, We had a rough few months, And when the storms came in off the coast It felt like they broke Everything on us at once. It’s easy enough to talk about Blitz spirit When you’re not holding the roof up and knee deep in it. The pictures and the papers got ruined by the rain, And we wondered if they’d ever get dry again. We lost faith in the omens, We lost faith in the gods, We just ended up clutching at the empty rituals Like gamblers clutching long odds. And I don’t care what the weather man is saying, Because the last time that I saw him, he was on his knees, he was praying. The preachers and the scientists got soaked just the same, And we wondered if they’d ever get dry again. So open the shutters, raise up the mast, Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed. Cast off the crutches, cut off the cast, Rejoice, rebuild, the storm has passed. But I don’t want to spend the whole of my life indoors, Laying low and waiting on the next storm. I don’t want to spend the whole of my life inside; I want to step outside and face the sunshine. I'm not going to live the whole of my life indoors. I'm going to step out and face the next storm.
