This song is another in my project “Songs in the key of Climate Change.” It deals with the destruction of the garden we were all sent to tend by fossil fuel interests who have no interests in stopping the effects of climate change and who don’t care if the entire planet goes up in smoke. As we’ve seen of late the smoke now blanketing our towns and cities is a result of wild fires in Canada caused in part by rising temperatures from the continued burning of fossil fuels.

The World where I was born. Inspired by and dedicated to Greta Thunberg. In this song I tried to capture what the world must look like to someone so young and passionate who knows deep down it’s late for humans to reverse the effects of climate change and the damage we’ve done to Planet Earth. And yet she carries on because deep down I think she hopes the right butterfly will flap it’s wings and create the tsunami of change we so desperately need.

I have written ten songs called “Songs in the key of Climate Change.” They will be given away to young people around the world to create what they will as part of what I call “The Climate Change Song Challenge.” The first song is called “The World Where I was Born. It’s dedicated to Greta Thunberg the Swedish teenager who has galvanized the world with her activism about Climate Change. The song imagines what the slow destruction of our planet must look like to someone so young.

Best thing I've read in months.

Rekkit. The criminal act of violently destroying democratic norms and institutions for profit by Donald J Trump and his enablers both foreign and domestic. Ergo. Donald Trump is Rekkitman. I invented the word Rekkit to describe what I feel Donald Trump has done to our Country for the past 6 years…

Kane, Welch, Kaplin. My favorite Americana band of all time. They no longer perform but they did record three great albums. Wonderful songs that capture the pain and glory of the human condition that are timeless. Great melodies and brilliant lyrics simply sung and played. The song captures how I hope “Words Made of English” can use stories to never stop fighting with words the creeping Fascism now spreading its authoritarian tentacles across America.
