Any environmental song is a good song in my book.

Mother, Father
Mother, father please explain to me
Why forests march to desert speed
While snowcapped mountains melt away
What do we tell our babies, when do we say, oh

Spinning down, down, down, down, down
All this talk about
Endless words without
Nothing's done


There's no God above
And no hell below
Oh, it's here with us
It's up to us
To keep afloat

How this sweet world has come to be
Oh to keep afloat

Mother, father please explain to me
How this rare world has come to be
Oh, let the blue planet
Let the blue planet

Mother, father please explain to me
Mother, father please explain

this is awful. I personally find the lyrics to be pretty much hackneyed cliche.

all he needs is the line "where do we go from here" to make it complete.

Great lyrics on this tune. Not quite as original as some Dave Matthews Band tunes though in terms of sound.

I'm the original Dave Mattews Band fan.

But I'm not happy with the new album. It was rushed in the studio and you can tell. I wish they would release the original songs that they were working on (AKA the Lillywhite songs).
