Somewhat proggish rocker replete with Eastern drones and Australian didgeridoo, not too mention some esoteric lyrics.

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).

Lyrics
The Valley words and music by Dan Sheehan Standing on the Mountain of Indignation Looking down into a valley of ignorance Trying to predict the two world's outcomes Unable to determine a difference Why does it all have to be so trying Living in a world full of amazements? Trying hard to balance our soul's desires Between our mind's and God's and the government's Hey Hey! Roving o'er the lands Sailing 'cross the seas We navigate the Earth As far as eyes can see Beyond the starlight sky Of possibilities The universe provides Escape from tragedy Why does everything have to be decided In the blur that occurs in a half instant? How can mind and soul be segregated Into such disparate elements? Why does it have to take such endurance Veering down the path of enlightenment? Depending on our minds to check the balance Between our souls and God and the government Hey hey! Beyond the starlight sky The Cosmic Entity Will separate the wise From "those who wish to see" The quest to comprehend Beyond what we can see The universal bind For those who wish to be
