about

We moved to rural southwest Louisiana in September 2020 to work construction/hurricane recovery after Hurricane Laura. We wanted to make a theme song for the little town we've lived in, which was hit by the storms pretty hard this past year. The video depicts the damage in our area (Welsh, Lacassine and Iowa) and some of the natural beauty still intact.

The song is told from the point of view of a high school football hero who feels bad for the opposing team and their fans, whose town has been destroyed, but he's on a divine mission to trash his opponents on the field.

lyrics

Cardinals take the field
hometown written on their uniforms
home games played in another town
since the school was eaten up by the storm
masked-up families in the crowd
whisper chants and screaming loud
you're working hard to make em proud
too bad I gotta shut you down.

Win or lose, it's how you play
I know you just need escape
I pray for you and everyone you came with
but I gotta bring the pain.

Grampa's in heaven and dad's in hell
they'll both be cheering when I ring your bell
even got a grandson who's gonna be born
in 2054
I'm gonna kick the gas with all I got
til that Durango spits a rod
some hardworking people up in the stands
and they'll cry when I score again.

Win or lose, it's how you play
I know you just need escape
I pray for you and everyone you came with
but I gotta bring the pain.
