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
I once had a job at Scott Meredith Literary Agency where I had to read books and then stare at a computer all day, so this song is literally about eyes being strained!
Lyrics
Tired Eyes words and music by Dan Sheehan Tired eyes complain of the day Tired eyes got nothing to say Long subway ride take me home Where I can be all my own And I know that this simple life will lay me to waste And I know that I've got to get me out of this place Sunlight comes through my window Once more to get up and go No chance to stay here at home Where my mind can be all my own And I know there's a better way of spending my days And I know that I've got to get me out of this place
