about

Dustbowl is the third single by Drying Weather. It was written in Dublin and first performed live in Berlin in October 2021. We like it very much and we hope you do too.

lyrics

Before I was someone
In an industry journal
Built a pond for my sister
And even earlier
I built a house for me

Didn't have walls
Didn't have a ceiling
Didn't have doors
And it didn't have heating
Didn't have a fusebox
Didn't have the internet
I don't even think that that was a thing yet

And most of my life
I've been trying to turn these satellites
Away from the dustbowl
Towards the slowly melting ice

And now we're giving it more
Swimming as a dozen
Never before with fewer than a hundred
Praying for the old times
Maybe getting frostbite
Waiting by the shrine all night till we see the sun rise

And most of my life
I've been trying to turn these satellites
Away from the dustbowl
Towards the slowly melting
Disappearing

I don't make the rules
I thought that was you
But I don't make the rules
And I certainly don't enforce them
I think maybe it's best
Just to ignore them

Most of my life
I've been fighting to save this paradise
Becoming a dustbowl
To fill with all this melting ice
