LYRICS
Well the sun is shining but the T.V.'s on
And you're in there somewhere with the blinds all drawn
And I know I'll find you in your unmade bed
Letting news channels get inside your head
And the world is burning while the earth it floods
But we're all just posing looking out for us
When the ice is melting, when the damage is done
I'll be holding your hand when the big one comes
When the big one comes
And the sins of fathers hang over their sons
While our mother's daughters fight to be someone
And the pills aren't working, they just clutter your mind
And we'll all get sober for a matter of time
I sing all these songs about how I feel
Never really talking to anyone real
One thing I know, when it's all said and done
I'll be holding your hand when the big one comes
When the big one comes
When the big one comes
I'll be holding your hand
So we'll call our parents every Sunday night
And we'll check the weather, and tell them we're fine
And spend our money on things that won't help
And we'll all get tattoos when we're bored of ourselves
Don't worry baby, if we're caught in the swell
We'll be there together for better or for well
When the sky is falling I won't turn and run
I'll be holding your hand when the big one comes
When the big one comes
When the big one comes
I'll be holding your hand

“I sing all these songs about how I feel, never really talking to anyone real.” That one hits home. Beautiful song.

[@kenyates15]

Thank you Grant !

[@shanke2000]

What a wonderful song. I absolutley love this. Thank you.

[@LuoKui1]

Wouldn't we all like a hand to hold when the big one comes. Nicely done.

[@MegaAmused]

What a stunningly beautiful song! I've seen probably 10-20% of the top-grossing musical acts in the world, through my former job, and this song eclipses a lot of their work. Beautiful! My wife & I are so looking forward to seeing and hearing you perform in Vancouver this October. Your music has been our soundtrack all summer after hearing your work on the CBC...

Love it!
Has the flavour of your older songs but the added bonus of added awesome production.

Awesome, thank you!

[@bobklein1685]

We were able to catch two of your shows in Wisconsin (Burlington & Lake Geneva) and have since moved to Durham, NC and will be going to a Brian Dunne show in a few weeks here in Durham. Great to hear some new music from you! Sounds great! Bob and Bryanna

[@stonefacebuster]

Awesome as usual. Can't wait for the full album! Hope you can make it to the Cleveland area (or at least within 2 hours of it!)

[@kenyates15]

I hope so too!

[@satchboogy8168]

Well done! Looking forward to seeing you again at the Neat cafe.

[@kenyates15]

Hoping to get back there soon !

Thank you! Cheers!

[@michaelmitchell4080]

Dig this, just the right feel, a big win. Bravo. You should reach out, consider collaborations with #JessicaMitchell, a pal of Kathleen's.

[@joannaloha]

Sweet! (Sigh)

[@tookings]

Your music is fucking dope.

[@beginnerguitarrobcourchene6577]

Very nice…Dogs are great… they don’t watch CNN and they don’t want to hear about it!

[@kenyates15]

HA!

[@Funkadelick]

Is this related to the coming solar event ?

[@ernestvernon9658]

Ehh not my favorite of yours, Ken. Little more pop than I like. Stoked to see how the next album plays.

[@kenyates15]

How very earnest of you, Ernest. Thanks for listening.
