Our Planet - new video

great video about an important topic. "this is still our planet - it's our only home", damn right, and the only home for our children too, but politicians seem to forget this fact on a daily basis...
 
hey, and I liked the percussion here a lot. And after everyone on this forum is claiming I like to sound like Bowie - I heard some Bowie on the bridge here, right?

Excellent!
 
I like the song quite a bit. Alas, the message will fall on deaf ears.
 
Maybe a bit mid rangy though.
 
It's funny you would post this song though. I posted a song with a very similar topic, "Sacrifice", but mine is and angry song.
 
Well done! I enjoyed it.

@guitarpima-Robert, thank you for having a listen and your kind words.  I wasn't sure about the mid range because I now mix for laptops and earbuds, as well as monitors.
 
@Freddy J-I, too, work in the environmental field for over 30 years, and this topic has been on my mind a lot, lately.  I'm glad you posted with all the information that you did.  If only a few will take the time to look into this topic, they will be amazed.  Thank you for your time and wise words.

@John-Thank you for your kind words.  I did, indeed, enjoy this project very much.  Peace and blessings to you, as well.

@Wookiee-Thanks for having a listen and your kind words.  I may be preaching to the choir, but it's a good choir.

Hi Walt, thanks for having a peek.  I just googled free video clips and free public domain videos, and this is where I found them.  There are many good sites out there.  Except for the bass drum, the percussion came from the Latin percussion pack for EZ Drummer.

One of your best Lynn. But I have a couple of questions WRT warming. Q1: Why is it that the north poll was a shallow sea 65 million years ago at the end of the Jurassic era? (read, no ice cap) Q2: Is it warmer now than it has been in the past before modern man? (nope, not by a long shot) And here the kicker :-) Q3: Why are the ice caps on Mars getting smaller? SUVs? (Nope...) No disrespect, again one of your best, just think about the questions raised, and there are many more. But I limited it, brevity is the soul of wit ;-) 

Robbie, I appreciate you taking the time to view this, and I appreciate your comments.  In regard to warming - I graduated from KU in '75 with a major in physical geography and a minor in geology.  Even then this subject was controversial.  I was taught that global warming was happening, though, there were numerous reasons for the cause.  I was also taught that some scientists believed that we're still in the last ice age, just that right now, we're living in an interstice of the ice age.  There have been four major advances of the ice and four retreats.  As for Q1, the north pole wasn't in its present position, and the atmosphere was radically different.  There was little free oxygen to protect the earth from UV and other space related causes.  Plus, there was much more vulcanism then, and the surface of the earth was hotter.  Q2 was just answered.  As for Q3, there are many  more SUV's than you realize on the surface of Mars.  Thanks for the thought provoking questions which really have no definitive answer.  Thus, I avoided assigning blame for global warming;  I merely point out that it's happening.  I usually err on the side of caution, and if humans have anything to do with it, then we have the power to affect change.

"The higher we go, the further we fall".  I like this a lot Lynn!  Like the percussion and the guitar.  And the video was cool.  Thanks for sharing.

"Plus, there was much more vulcanism then" :-)

 
Good song!

@ Clint- thanks for your comments!  You'd be amazed at what you can do with Sony Vegas.  Your music is a natural for this.
 
@ ralphwiggum - thanks for your reply.  I enjoyed listening to your songs, too.
 
@ champchas - I appreciate your comments.  I've enjoyed your blues numbers that you've posted here and hope to see more.
 
@ Robbie - thanks, pal. You caught the spirit.
 
@ Walt - thanks again.  I'd love to see what you can do with your music.  It took several hours to mine through all the chaff, but they are there if you have the time to look for them.

James, thanks for taking the time.  I like the chorus in this one, too.  Talk about rewrites!  Originally, this song was called "My Shadow", but the lyrics were so bad that I was compelled to write new ones.  The melody is a little low in my range, but it came out OK after doubling and tripling it, I hope.

Thank you, Bob.  You always say the nicest things with flair.  Much appreciated.

Thank you, Ed.  I notice that you've been staying busy.  Keep up the good work.

Hi Lynn, I liked that.  70's feel, with just a hint of ELP in places.  Like the vid too.  Sorry I haven't been doing the rounds lately, listening to the tunes here on the song forum.

Great work Lynn.
