Best Eco Art / Song / Music?

Postby amran on Tue Jul 06, 2004 4:37 pm

Not many songs or art have been dedicated to the eco-movement, and those that do are quite obscure and not very mainstream. Do you have a personal fave? Share it here.

One song that has touched me and has managed decent mainstream air-time when it was first released, and the song was by Julian Lennon.

Saltwater
By Julian Lennon

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
So when I hear about
The hole in the sky
Saltwater wells in my eyes
We climb the highest mountain
We'll make the desert bloom
We're so ingenious
We can walk on the moon
But when I hear of how
The forests have died
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We light the deepest ocean
Send photographs of Mars
We're so enchanted by
How clever we are
Why should one baby
Feel so hungry she cries
Saltwater wells in my eyes

I have lived for love
But now that's not enough
For the world I love is dying
(And now I'm crying)
And time is not a friend
(No friend of mine)
As friends we're out of time
And it's slowly passing by..yyy...yyy...yyy
Right before our eyes

We are a rock revolving
Around a golden sun
We are a billion children
Rolled into one
What will I think of me
The day that I die
Saltwater wells in my eyes

Saltwater wells in my eyes

Though not nessarily an environmental song, to me John Lennon's imagine is the anthem for a utopian society that would include the well being of the environment.
