"Before the Deluge"

Added to Soundtrack Weekend www.ipernity.com/group/362993

“Let the music keep our spirits high
Let the buildings keep our children dry
Let creation reveal it's secrets by and by
By and by--
When the light that's lost within us reaches the sky”

“Before the Deluge” was written by Jackson Browne and features on his 1974 album “Late for the Sky”

From Wikipedia -
“Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and musician who has sold over 18 million albums in the United States alone. Coming to prominence in the 1970s, Browne has written and recorded songs such as "These Days", "The Pretender", "Running on Empty", "Lawyers In Love", "Doctor My Eyes", "Take It Easy", "For a Rocker", and "Somebody's Baby". In 2004, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as bestowed an Honorary Doctorate of Music by Occidental College in Los Angeles, California.”

I would normally only put in one link. But, I have found (in my humble opinion) three totally brilliant performances on YouTube……two from Jackson (Glastonbury and from the ‘Going Home’ DVD) and a performance from Christy Moore.
