  American Experience | Fatal Flood | Special Features
As the flood waters rose, many blues artists were inspired to write songs about the disaster and describe the experience of being in a flood.
Floods are natural disasters that overwhelm you the way emotions can overwhelm you, and so the flood is an important image for the blues, a metaphor for an experience that's too much, that's just impossible to handle.
Perhaps the buildup of rain made her anticipate the flood; it was released just as the flood came, and as a result, it became a big hit.

 Flood (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Flood" is a song written and performed by Jars of Clay.
It is considered by most fans of the band to be their "breakthrough" song, with sudden success coming in both the contemporary Christian music and alternative rock genres.
It is also the theme song of the new AandE reality show, "God or the Girl", which is about four men who are struggling with the decision to enter the seminary.

 Before the Flood: Encyclopedia II - Before the Flood - The Tour
At the beginning of the tour, a few songs from Planet Waves were performed in concert, but as the tour wore on, these songs gradually disappeared from the setlist.
Songs like "Hero Blues" and "Nobody 'Cept You" were also performed at some of the earlier shows, but such idiosyncratic choices would eventually disappear as well.
One of the most popular songs on the tour was "It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)." Performed during Dylan's solo acoustic sets, it never failed to elicit cheers when Dylan got to the words, "Even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked."

"Flood" is a perfect pop/rock song: catchy and uplifting at the same time.
The first time I heard "Flood" was a day that featured a scowling wind and the remnants of a downpour.
These opening lyrics set the tone for the song: they are angst-ridden and indicative of a storm that is brewing, both out there and within.

 Jars World : Chris' reviews : The 11th Hour
Even though the song initially sounds like a simple party number, the words are exhorting us to "be a revolution," to "cross that line and let love find a way." If you're not jamming by the end of this song, you're not breathing.
Inspired by real-life events that were happening to friends close to the band, this song tells the story of a man in a hospital room holding his wife's hand as she passes into the afterlife after fighting a losing battle with cancer.
This song would be virtually impossible for any other artist to cover, due to the difficulty of the material and the strength of execution.

 clumsy lovers
All of it is set to a snappy two-step bass-snare backbeat, caffeinated guitar strumming, and machine-gun banjo and fiddle playing...on After the Flood, the band has begun to explore the deeper emotions that lurk in the shadows of the extroverted melodies they are drawn to.
The chorus of this song is vintage Clumsy Lovers: a joyful, repeated Amen, sung to a traditional and very familiar melody, set against a bubbly banjo backdrop.

After the Flood is the band’s seventh album and their first with Nettwerk Records.

After the Flood can be purchased at the band’s web site or at one of their many live shows and is worth absolutely every penny.

Bio: The Dubs had a long career, from the late '50s through the '80s, but are best remembered for their enduring Top 40 doo wop classic "Could This Be Magic," one of the more memorable songs of 1957.
Next up was Blandon's "Could This Be Magic" and by the first week of November, the Dubs had their second national pop Top 40 song of the year.
In November 1958, after the group's "Chapel of Dreams" was released to little reaction, the Dubs, disappointed over the meager earnings in their chosen career, decided to call it a day.

 TIME.com -- Andrew Arnold: Blood Work
But where "Flood!" took place exclusively in the dehumanizing world of a biblically punished New York, "Blood Song," moves from a pastoral to a modern metropolis, exploring the role of the individual in nature and society.
I made the mistake of reading "Blood Song" before noticing the sub-title, "A Silent Ballad." That is, I read it like a graphic novel, with a novel-reader's interest in character and story.
One way of reading it, for example, is a story about the transition from child to adult — moving from careless tranquility through tempestuous seas to the world of responsibility and childbirth.
