about

Rising Tide is an adventurous sounding song led by a bold accordion theme. This theme kicks off the song with a feeling of excitement, but as the theme ends the tone changes suddenly to something a lot darker. The verse is growling on top of hard guitars and drums, and the lyrics tell a story of being lost at sea in a dark storm. Accordionist and growler, Ian Tarboton, describes this as being reflective of those moments in life when we feel lost and confused, like a storm raging in our minds.

At the end of the verse it feels like the clouds start to lift a bit as lead singer, Izabela Smyt, sings the build up to the chorus. The chorus comes crashing down like pounding waves from the tide, with growling and singing at the same time. Each vocal style carries its own message, the growling calling out from the deepest parts within us, and the singing bringing clarity of mind. It’s a message to listen to the voice of our hearts to find the clarity within the storms we face.

As the song progresses it launches into a soaring bridge of strings and singing, followed by a breakdown that boldly declares defiance against the storm and a determination to not be stuck in the confusion of mediocrity.

The song overcomes the storm and returns to the adventurous theme that began the journey. Ian Tarboton describes it as being a metaphor for our lives, where we set out on the journey of life and come up against many storms, but by listening to our hearts (what is truly meaningful to us) we rise above the storms and confusion, and we can continue the journey onwards.

lyrics

Lost upon the vast ocean
Dark, the storm that drowns my song
Still, I hear my heart whisper
Feel the pulse come from the deep

Like a rising tide

I am my own fate
Calling through the rain
Hear me sing my song
Rise, rise, rise above the storm

Found myself inside the storm
Choose the course of my own ship
Wind, it fills my sails again
Now I shall prevail this time

Like a rising tide

I am my own fate
Calling through the rain
Hear me sing my song
Rise, rise, rise above the storm

I will not drown in the storm of despair
I will not be what you want me to be
And now I rise like a tidal wave
You cannot stop me, I will unleash

I raise my fist
I defy the storm
I rise above
This mediocrity
I raise my fist
I defy the storm
I rise above
This mediocrity

I am my own fate
Calling through the rain
Hear me sing my song
Rise, rise, rise above the storm
