Save the Planet

[Jim Colyer]

I wrote an environmental song called Save The Planet. I need a signed artist to record it for a label. Who can help? http://www.jimcolyer.com/music/

 

SAVE THE PLANET

 

We're floating on a grain of sand in the vastness of space

If future generations are going to inherit this place

We've got to Save The Planet

Do something while there's still time

Save The Planet

This earth is yours and mine

 

The tropical rainforest is disappearing more everyday

We'll never replace it.. We'd better not burn it away

Save The Planet

The wonders of nature are free

Save The Planet

Have you ever planet a tree?

 

If the skies are blue

And the oceans too

Isn't this a better home for me and you?

If the air is clean

And the land is green

Wouldn't you like to be part of this lovely scene?

 

I'm thinking of the animals that once roamed the African plain

Their numbers have dwindled, and pretty soon none will remain

Save The Planet

Do something while there's still time

Save the Planet

This earth is yours and mine

 

Save The Planet

The wonders of nature are free

Save The Planet

Have you ever planted a tree?

 

Save The Planet

Save The Planet

Save The Planet

Save The Planet

I found a singer for Save The Planet. Her name is Melissa DuVall, and she lives here in Nashville. We will take the song to Hard Rock Cafe because HRC uses "Save The Planet" as its logo. I believe music still influences. We can contribute to global management and promote world peace. Listen: http://www.jimcolyer.com/music/

Here's part of my song: "DOWN":thumbs_do

 

We got a hole in the O-zone layer,

we got eroding soil.

We're killing all our ocean life

and filing our seas with oil.

 

we're using up our energy

and trying to tap the sun

How long before we destroy,

this world that God begun?!

 

We're going -

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN!

 

There's no escape from this Earthly disaster;

unless you know the master;

 

We're going -

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN;

DOWN, DOWN, DOWN!

*wanders into thread sniffing*

I smell somthing... Tormod! Doesn't this thread just have that new spam scent to it?

[Queso]

meh

[Jim Colyer]

Not spam....I wrote 400 songs. Save The Planet is the most important. We have to get beyond the cynicism and defeatism of 9/11....Jim

We have to get beyond the cynicism and defeatism of 9/11....Jim

Who are you trying to save the earth from? Alkiida?

[Queso]

ourselves.

[BEAKER]

We were destroying the earth long before 9/11

[Queso]

we sure were.

[Jim Colyer]

What I am saying is, we have to conserve and make the best use of natural resources, replacing them as we go with an eye on the long term when alternate forms of energy will replace depleted fossil fuels. I am a songwriter. Save The Planet is one of 400 songs I have written, but I believe its message is important. I will record it May 30 here in Nashville and put the MP3 on my site.

Nice song. Very polished recording.

 

The Earth need more like you, Jim Colyer. And more like Neil Young, of course, and songs like “Be the Rain”. My best wishes to you and your music.

Save The Planet

Have you ever planet a tree?

 

__It is easy to listen to; I give it about a 78. What happened to Melissa? Is that you singin' Jim or a hire? I bolded a typo in your original lyrics post; it's a poetic turn of phrase as it is though. :D

___Have to give you credit for even remembering you posted this 5 months ago! I barely remember 5 hours. :hihi:

[Jim Colyer]

Thanks! That's me singing Save The Planet. Melissa's producers are shopping her to record labels and did not want her singing for anyone else, so I did the vocal.
