Lyrics

It's okay if animals are endangered
Just as long as it's not me
But if they go away, eventually I do too
As does balance and beauty and harmony and sense
And the dogs and cats are they safe...
when we annhilate...
The animals of the Earth

It's not right to take the light
Of beast or human
Life is sacred...have you heard?
Get over yourself today...even a little bit will help
Everything is connected...the water the air
And the trees and sun, are they friends, if we annihilate...
The animals of the Earth

This environmental lesson begins with terrific, haunting guitar chords and the vocalist follows along slowly with the melody, then seems like he's cramming a bunch of words into the measures. What the heck? However, it's intentional, it seems unusual, and it works! It's interesting! It is lyrically conversational, philosophical, yet simple and almost childlike. It ends with with what sounds like a mesmerizing chant behind an array of electric guitars. Vocals are clear and instruments are played very well. What is so interesting is how intentionally offbeat this song is, yet it gets across the concept of endangered species and it's implications very well. For seeming disjointed yet knowing that was the intent which ironically makes it seem smooth and seamless, the melody and production works very well.

A nice little ditty and song. A perfect theme for now. Though could be a sixties song. Nice guitar and vocals - and shift into the electric. Really dig the lyrics --- lotsa thought and provoking.

Sounds like a Theme song for 'Noah's Ark" journey! Nice Rock piece with an interesting story. Well balanced production of Vocals and Music. Enjoyable.

Here is a innovative animal rights song (with a tiny nod to human right to life). Starting with dogs and cats, the songwriter goes global with lengthy 3 verse tag that sounds more and more African as it progresses. This song is quite original.

The Lyric took me by surprise!! Very Interesting, pushing the Envelope for sure!! Bravo!!

A message to save the animals that may become extinct.

Ok great song, well written with a definite message. I thought it was well constructed and well played.
