Ecology Song; Change

CHANGE

Ecology Song by Stills Stephens

Fortunes of time making up a rhyme
How do we save tomorrow
Given a voice can you make a choice
Is it black, is it grey, is it yellow

Mother Nature made it green
prettiest place you've ever seen
People don't know what they need

Open your window
what do you see
Do you remember
How it used to be

All of this crying, while the earth is dying
It's a shock they won't stop because of the money
America is lost, figurin' the cost
you can hang your head in shame
It's disgusting

Mother nature made it green
Prettiest place you've seen
People don't know what they need
Open your window
What do you see
Do you remember how it used to be

            The world, as we know it, is place where a lot of living things but it is mostly known as the habitat of humans. Moreover, it is where living things survive, reproduce and seek shelter or protection. The world was born billions of years ago. It was where the world was still full of beautiful and amazing things that now in the present are already gone, endangered or polluted. The world was once a place that now we could only imagine. The human civilization is too much for the world to carry.

            The song “Ecology Song” by Stills Stephens is a song about how the environment has changed for the bad. The line “How do we save tomorrow
, given a voice can you make a choice” is a line that truly shakes you up. It’s giving you a knock on your head to let you realize ‘Tomorrow’. It actually is a very good song that lets everyone open up their eyes and make the right choice. We choose the path of our lives based on how we could care for the Earth.

            The ‘change’ that happened to us was the time we started to abuse the abundance of natural things that were gifted to us. The line “Mother Nature made it green, Prettiest place you've seen, People don't know what they need, Open your window, What do you see, Do you remember how it used to be” lets us scan our surrounding; letting us realize and ask these questions ‘What would this place be if there weren’t buildings or malls or stores? What would it be like to feel the cold breeze against your face, or the kind sky that seems to brighten everyone’s day?’

            In conclusion, the song by Still Stephens is a song that really expresses the (what might be) feelings of the Earth towards the control and abuse of humans to the Earth. What I could say is that the world is our home so let us all try to protect, care, and conserve our home, Earth.
