    When I first heard this as the theme opening song for the SyFy series ''Resident Alien'' (2020), it's almost impossible to unhear it. I can't believe how addictive the guitar riff can be.

    This is about as close as anyone can get to a perfect song. Driving instruments; powerful lyrics; killer vocals and harmony. I consider this one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. RIP, David Lamb.

    It don’t matter if the cold wind blows
    I’m gonna wind up working in the thick of it
    Sunshine through the rain and snow
    There’s an oily brine bilge water baptism waiting below
    That’s just the waves slamming against the topsides’ sound
    Don’t let the ever rolling motion go and get you down
    Don’t let it shake your steady thread cutting hand
    Keep stealing ribbons from the steel and giving hell
    To every halyard you can
    In spite of all the wherewithal
    To fight it all I will face it all
    In spite of all the wherewithal
    To fight it all I’ll embrace it all
    When everyday’s like a war between the will to go on
    And a wish that the world would spiral into the sun
    Turn your head toward the storm that’s surely coming along
    If the sun was always shining and our load always light
    We’d be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
    And we’d break under the weight of any pressure
    That was ever applied
    Will you be ready when the straw boss calls?
    He’s got an ever loving bone to pick with one and all
    Don’t let his condescension get you down
    Just have the strength to know you’re wrong
    And when you’re right the strength to stand your ground
    In spite of all the wherewithal
    To fight it all I will face it all
    In spite of all the wherewithal
    To fight it all I’ll embrace it all
    When everyday is like a war
    You find no strength from your usual source
    There’s no peace, there’s no rest
    Your fortitude is feeling put to the test
    When everyday is like a war between the will to go on
    And a wish that the world would spiral into the sun
    Turn your head toward the storm that’s surely coming along
    If the sun was always shining and our load always light
    We’d be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
    And we’d break under the weight
    Of any pain that ever came in this life

    This song encapsulates every day life as a NCO Boatswains mate on a larger cutter… a seaman’s life isn’t for everyone but for the lucky few that it is for there’s a romanticism between man and the sea that can’t be explained and that life becomes more of an addiction and less an occupation… I miss it every day but this song brings me right back… thank you Dave may you rest in power and thank you brown bird for making this beautiful music

    My heart is BEYOND SAD...As a musician, Dave and MorganEve are the best there is. Dave's parents are my friends and my love and I had the fortunate pleasure of sitting front row at House of Blues here in Los Angeles and met them finally and heard them ever so clearly...perfection existed that night and I'm just so sorry that perfection doesn't exist in this living life. Definition of musical perfection is David Lamb and MorganEve. David Lamb, musician, husband, son, brother, uncle and friend. RIP Brother. We will keep fighting for you!!!

    I was sad to hear he'd passed by the time I discovered his music. His songs- their lyrics- are the kind that keeps me going. This is not an easy life, but every challenge makes us stronger, and we'll damn well trudge and scrape and work until the storm passes, until we get to the end.

For the fears to conquer, the tears to dry and the heart to use love as a tool to beat what's eating at you. I keep this song close to me. These lyrics and rhythm have kept me in some of my worst times. It's almost like its saying that it's ok. Live good and fight is the feel. Thank you dear soul that laid this to ear and heart.

    I call it Southern Rock with a slight Appalachian Bluegrass influence. And yeah, I grew up in the South hearing music like this at the Cumberland Bluegrass Festival which really had all kinds of music and all types of people gettin along and havin a good ol time.

    It don't matter if the cold wind blows
    I'm gonna wind up working in the thick of it
    sunshine through the rain and snow
    there's an oily brine bilge water baptism waiting below
    that's just the waves slamming against the topsides' sound
    don't let the ever rolling motion go and get you down
    don't let it shake your steady thread cutting hand
    keep stealing ribbons from the steel and giving hell
    to every halyard you can
    in spite of all the wherewithal
    to fight it all I will face it all
    in spite of all the wherewithal
    to fight it all I'll embrace it all
    when everyday's like a war between the will to go on
    and a wish that the world would spiral into the sun
    turn your head toward the storm that's surely coming along
    if the sun was always shining and our load always light
    we'd be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
    and we'd break under the weight of any pressure
    that was ever applied
    will you be ready when the straw boss calls?
    he's got an ever loving bone to pick with one and all
    don't let his condescension get you down
    just have the strength to know you're wrong
    and when you're right the strength to stand your ground
    in spite of all the wherewithal
    to fight it all I will face it all
    in spite of all the wherewithal
    to fight it all I'll embrace it all
    when everyday is like a war
    you find no strength from your usual source
    there's no peace, there's no rest
    your fortitude is feeling put to the test
    when everyday is like a war between the will to go on
    and a wish that the world would spiral into the sun
    turn your head toward the storm that's surely coming along
    if the sun was always shining and our load always light
    we'd be shaking like a leaf with every God given night
    and we'd break under the weight
    of any pain that ever came in this life
