A prog-rocker for people who are way too much into J.R.R. Tolkien and D&D, or maybe who just like 70s Rush, Led Zeppelin and Calvin and Hobbes. Pay attention to the surprise ending!!!

Artist picture
Dan Sheehan is a rock musician and songwriter writing about social justice and saving the planet, and led the bands The Dan Sheehan Conspiracy and Banter.
Dan Sheehan's The Seas Are Rising: Stories of a Climate in Crisis, is a concert experience and forthcoming album emphasizing the immediate urgency of the climate crisis. With songs ranging from melancholy tales of caution to vigorous calls to action, the songs entertain while calling on listeners to do their part to combat climate change through voting and holding politicians accountable, limiting their personal carbon footprints, and inspiring others to advocate and act. Through songs rooted in rock, folk, soul, funk, and hip-hop, The Seas Are Rising tells the stories of people around the world already dealing with intense, climate-induced consequences. Listeners hear the stories of Puerto Ricans facing deadly and ravaging hurricanes, Pacific Islanders facing loss of their home due to rising sea levels, Australians fleeing destructive brush fires, and eco-heroes in Latin America working under constant threat to preserve their natural treasures. Sheehan and band have performed throughout the US, UK, Ireland and Spain. His previous concept album and live show, Tales from Earth Incorporated, tackled corporate and political greed and earned Sheehan Songwriter of the Year honors at the New Jersey based Elephant Talk Indie Music Awards as well as Best Political Subject Album from the music director awards at radio station WHFR-FM in Detroit, USA. Sheehan has previously won awards from the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).

Story behind the song
Epic Fantasy Adventure Song words and music by Dan Sheehan Waiting for the ice to melt under a blinding Sun We crossed the frozen lake - the journey had begun Noble was our mission, tall on our horses we rode Knowing not if we'd return from the enemy's abode Our bodies growing weary, our minds filled with fright Not to be consoled by the noises of the night Unable to go further, we halted for a rest Just to get a wink of sleep before continuing our quest But our sleep was interrupted early as the nightwatch woke us all Somewhere in the distance we could hear the battlecall Our enemies approaching, we prepared to meet our foes Reaching in our quivers we began to load our bows But just as I'm about to fire, suddently I hear Familiar voice which beckons me - my target disappears I stand alone in my backyard - reality's imposed I turn around to face it - chainmail reduced to clothes I tell my Mom I'll be right in, slingshot still in hand But after dinner I'll be back to bring justice to the land!
