THE MOTHERSHIP EARTH SONG
'A part of the global campaign to persuade us and governments of the world to treat climate change as a top priority. The Mothership Earth Song is a plea for help from Mother Earth sung in different languages.
There are versions in English, Welsh, Yoruba, Czech, Arabic, Gaelic, Scots, French, Cantonese German….I just checked that so far there are 28 different languages. Amazing.
‘The heat will grow and grow and grow.’
I was recording , remember, in a studio which is basically a box lined with thick duvets.
My studio has a line of windows along one wall and in the afternoon the sun beats down and the temperature can go as high as 40 degrees.
So imagine me with a fan strategically placed so it would cool exactly where I was standing to record, then I would turn it off for a take, trying not to be overwhelmed by the building suffocating heat.
‘The heat will grow and grow and grow.’
Indeed.
Method singing?!!
I did do it though, and despite what I wrote above, it is no joke.
The heat WILL grow
WE MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
This is what I did.
Here finally is the promised video of
THE MOTHERSHIP EARTH SONG
Remember the newly mixed and MASTERED version will be released along with my album on the 9th June - save the date!
LYRICS:
THE MOTHERSHIP EARTH SONG:
Listen my children we don't have much time
You must help me. Please. Will you help me now?
The waters rising will engulf you all.
Will you help me? I can't do this alone.
The forests are burning blocking out the light
I can't fight this. I can't fight this alone.
Plastics appearing
Almost everywhere
Why do you not seem to care?
Warnings for so many years.
Fallen on deaf ears.
You have a last chance now to make a change.
Will you help me please?
Just help me now
The heat will grow and grow and grow.
Destroying all you've ever known.
But it's not too late for you to make that change
Will you join me?
Pledge to help me save our world.
Do let me know what you think?
With my love!
