We believe that Music is a way to engage with each other on an emotional level.
A song can reach inside to awaken our understanding and inspire action for change.
We would like to inspire you to share the songs here. But more than that, we are inviting you to generate original music or songs which celebrate Mother Nature and question how we are treating her.
We have an archive of original lyrics and poems. You are welcome to produce your own songs using these lyrics (contained in our original song book at the bottom of the page, below).
It also contains guidance on how to collaborate with us.
Since that was first published our archive has expanded exponentially.
We are also creating a library of song demos, to give examples of how the lyrics might be transformed with music. On this page you will find access to a number of playlists.
These are constantly being added to and edited as we dive deep into our archive of lyrics and poems
plus create new ones.
