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).

Story behind the song
Based on story I read about a band that was torn apart by heroine abuse, and how the abuse adversely affected the abuser's family and band (but he's OK now!)
Lyrics
See Kay words and music by Dan Sheehan The jig is up, you know you'd better run for cover Your cover's blown, you're shown, you'd better find another 'Cause this time you ain't gonna blame things on your brother You'd better make another phone call to your mother 'Cause I've seen this before When the FBI came knockin' at my door And I feel pretty sure That your friends ain't gonna know you any more Your other half is gone and still you feed the craving And cover up the shame of all your rant and raving As you revisit places you've already trespassed The limits I imagined you've already surpassed And I've seen this before When the policeman came bangin' down my door And I feel pretty sure That your friends ain't gonna know you any more On and on it goes, the feeling comes and then it goes You can't remember when the last time was you washed your clothes But you've succeeded at what you set out for without a doubt To be the one that all the articles are all about
