The Long Arm (Lyric Video) (Patreon)

THE LONG ARM - Lyrics - Firefly TV Show

"The Long Arm" is a song inspired by the Firefly TV show by Joss Whedon. It's the first single from my second album of Firefly Drinking Songs, called As Long As I'm Flyin'. Details at http://FireflyDrinkingSongs.com In the episode "Out of Gas", Malcolm Reynolds says, "No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get... we'll just get ourselves a little further." That was the comment of a soldier who lost both a physical and spiritual war. He was ready to flee, escape, and hide like I suspect many Browncoats did after the Unification War. However, I felt like Mal regained his faith in people after they broadcast the news about Miranda in the movie Serenity. He had something to fight for again, as did many people in the 'Verse. What is there to fight for? Not governments and organizations, but for people, for individuals, for the arts. One of the first things to go in a profit-driven world is the arts. They are not easily commoditized because art is subjective. However, art is also the sign of a civilized society. It satisfies the emotional and spiritual needs of the community, helping the it to grow, learn, and thrive. That's something that is difficult to sell and dangerous to promote. This is a lyric video.
