about

A motivational piece, with the inclusion of viola and cello, that describes the experiences of climate change and political unrest. An expanded folk feel. I wrote this song originally as a climate change songwriting assignment for one of my courses in college. Before I officially wrote any lyrics, I kept hearing the phrase “all the world’s a stage”, the opening line to Shakespeare’s “As You Like It”. Thus, leading to the idea that if the “world's a stage”, then it must be on fire.

lyrics

They used to say that all the world’s a stage
But now it’s burned down
And I can’t say it’s the same for you
And for me

Its supports’ exposed
charcoaled black
I supposed you’d like to know where to go from here
Where to go from here

When the moon turns red
And the sky turns black
And the water’s brown
Then you must turn back

When the moon turns red
And the sky turns black
And the water’s brown
Then you must turn back
Then you must turn back

The sun burns red in the late afternoon
Hoping at some point
I can breathe clear soon
For me and for you

The ash weighs heavy on my soul
As I wait in line for the election polls
I supposed you’d like to know where to go from here

When the moon turns red
And the sky turns black
And the water’s brown
Then you must turn back

When the moon turns red
(When the moon turns red)
And the sky turns black
(And the sky turns black)
And the water’s brown
(And the water’s brown)
Then you must turn back
(Then you must turn back)
Then you must turn back

When the moon turns red
And the sky turns black
And the water’s brown
Then you must turn back

When the moon turns red
And the sky turns black
And the water’s brown
Then you must turn back

I think it's difficult to write songs about something other than romantic love, and still be able to communicate the intensity with which those feelings can hit a person. Some of the entries on this album are fantastic examples of this niche. dani_bloop
