Hurricane Katrina 5th Anniversary (Collab by Johan Lukas & Rasmus)

This is a rendition/updated version of the song Hurricane, which is meant as a tribute to all who were affected, by hurricane Katrina, that struck August 29th 2005.
And now time has passed and the year is 2010, my collab-partners and I thought it would be nice to make a new version of the song as a 5 year marker of the disaster.

The idea behind the new version, started with a remake of the drumpart - and we ended out with 2 lead guitars and a stringsynth, keyboarded by Johan, and vocal harmonies by Lukas plus vocal by Johan.
So this pleasant interactive friendship with my collaborates grew into something that I am very proud of.
Thank you both for the great ideas and great skills, you put into this song !!!!

Lyrics:

Look back see the day that dawned
wisemen said they had been warned
didnt know it would be so soon
some would blame it on the moon
---
rising through the streets and why
children running trucks passin by
rollin water it would break and flow
people didn't know where to go
----
ample warning and a subtile sign
they just faded through the time
only few stated danger flood
no one would listen bad enough

--------------------------------------------

Levee broken and the walls in breach
no one knew just how to reach
strung out for a helpin hand
just to get back safe on land
---
some fled some tried to run
others did what they shouldnt have done
Grand packed in the superdome
and some were left to survive at home**at the nusing home
---
Shots fell as the help came in
by the gunmen trying to win
wanting chaos and insanity
for the price of humanity

-------------------------------------------

Hurricane in the usa
It just came ohh and it swept away
more lifetimes of history
yeah beyond you and me
---
orleans territory
broke down thus pride and glory
water wind and streets collide
they all just had to abide
---
Sometimes in a heap of loss
we all have to get accross
In a world of memory
its all up to you and me
-------------------------------------

Any questions just feel free to drop me a message.

Thanks for listening.
