A Future Lament ? (LYRICS HAVE BEEN ADDED TO INITIAL POST -- BELOW)

I was watching a Sci-Fi show about the future and began wondering what the message might be from the future if we could receive one.  This song is the result of that thought.  Yup, it is about tree hugging, bugs & bunnies, and the alteration of our biosphere's ecosystems.  I couldn't help but express the thought.  After all, I've been in this business for over 40 years.
 
I know that I don't normally do slow songs very well (to do better might require knowledge and talent).  So, again any suggestions, comments, etc. would certainly be appreciated.  In this number, I believe that I did get rid of the noise that plagued my previous song (hopefully). Thanks to those that pointed it out.
 
Thanks again!!

Here are the lyrics Daryl
 
Tell me what were green trees like
Did you ever see a blue sky
I heard there were green open spaces
Did you ever see a bird fly
 
CHORUS
These are all things --- That I never will see
Weren't they important enough ---- To save for me
 
Tell me did you ever sail
Out upon a crystal clear sea
I read it was full of life
There's only pictures in the library
 
CHORUS
 
I think that this air that we breathe
I just know it sickens me
And the water that we drink
It tastes bad chemically
 
CHORUS
 
Weren't they important enough
To save for me  ------------  To save for me
 

I am way down with the biosphere message Freddy. I hear ya. Cool tune indeed.

Signature Freddy's vocal style. Sort of a blue cross with some Grateful Dead. Nicely done

Good idea for a song, Freddy.  You played and sang this with conviction.  I hope it never gets that bad in the future, but you never know.  Thanks for being the voice of reason.

Hi Mark:  Thanks buddy.  Every once in a while I try to get serious and try out a slow message song.
 
Hi Shad:  Thanks for the feedback.  We might chose to ignore what we are doing but it will catch up with us in the long run.
 
Robbaaaaay!!!  When you are right you are right.  Thanks for tip.
 
Hey Vicente:  Thanks for listening and for the kind comments.
 
Thank you James.  I kind of like the slow attack also.  It doesn't work on rockabilly ;>)  but for me it has a nice effect on a lot of other stuff.  I appreciate the feedback on the drums.  Thanks!
 
Hey Lynn:  Thanks for the comments and feedback.  Hopefully, reasonable thought based on empirical evidence will prevail.
 
Thank you John.  I am glad to see that you are putting up posts on the forum again.  I love the new songs that you are putting out.
 
Thank you everyone for your feedback.  I have re-done the drum track after to listening to almost every loop that I have.  "That's all I got -- I ain't got no more."  Hopefully, this one is more appropriate to this song.  Thanks again!!
Ooops -- I wiped out everything when I tried to replace this song with the re-do.  Hopefully, I repaired it and it is back in order with the new one.

:-) Yeah drums are perfect now! Good job Fredaaaaaaay! The chicken is now officially "to the bone..." My thoughts on the earth is that it was here before us, and it will be here after we're gone. A lot of people don't even know that it's been both much warmer and much colder in the past than it is today. 50 million years ago it was much warmer than it is today? And nobody drove an SUV...

Here's your future lament buddy...

This one will miss us? (close miss "Friday!") But there's one with our name on it...

And we didn't even know about it "until last year..." That's within 17,200 miles... Close enough for us to "tug it" out of its current orbit. The earth is 25K (just under) in circumference. Our geo-sync satelites are out at 25 thousand miles, so this "visitor" will come between us and our communication satellites. It may be next week, next month, or 1,000 years, but it comes. We live in a cosmic shooting gallery that most are unaware of or choose to ignore :-( And "that" is our real future lament.

Freddy,
 
Cool song and really good performance/mix.  
 
Regards

Not a bad one Freddy J.

At first the dry vox was a tad off putting but as I listened I started liking it.

Hey, Freddy,
 
Very nice job on this well thought out, bluesy number with an important message and some very cool modern mix elements!
 
I really like the smooth feel of the rhythm chords, the vocals and harmonies are excellent, and I thought the reversed guitar effect was really cool.
 
You've really been crankin' out some great stuff, Freddy!
Bob
