What Happened To My World? ><
metal, Wild fusion of ska-rockabilly drums, surfy slide guitar, and steel drum splashes under male lead; female gospel-style chorus answers the hook. Verses carry Native-influenced rhythmic accents with maracas, pan pipes, and hand percussion; accordion, violin, and hurdy-gurdy add a rough folk edge. Bridge explodes into psychedelic chaos with screaming sax, distorted metal guitars, and bagpipe drone before dropping back to a tight, danceable outro. Sexy, gritty male vocals with breathy, stacked female harmonies on the refrains., native american, gospel, saxophone, mambo, ska, world, rockabilly, tango, violin, male vocals, accordion

Lyrics
Verse 1
They dammed up the river
Concrete in the current
Where my grandma sang
Now it just hums
Angry and silent
They leveled our forest
Stumps like broken teeth
Dust on the berries
Smoke where the birds used to sleep
Chorus
What happened to my world
Who signed my sky away
Put a fence around the water
Took the blue from our bay
What happened to my world
Who sold my child's air
If this is someone’s profit
Tell me what’s left to share
Verse 2
You say it's just business
Counting on a glowing screen
But I know the taste of mercury
In the belly of a dream
Once we read the seasons
In the tracks and the snow
Now the snow comes bitter
And the salmon just don’t show
Chorus
Bridge
[call-and-response
Female chorus humming low]
You pave
You pave
Over bones
Over stories
You drill
You drill
Into hearts
Into glory
low vocal register
You can’t drink money
You can’t eat gold
whistling over slide guitar
You can’t burn plastic
To keep a spirit warm
crescendo with gospel harmonies
So I’ll plant this seed
Right in your boardroom floor
I’ll pour this clean song
Through your locked glass doors
Chorus
