The Last Beluga Whale - Gert Holle 
Vor vier Jahren schrieb ich mit „The Last Beluga Whale“ einen für mich sehr wichtigen Song, mit dem ich aufrütteln wollte. Seitdem ist das Engagement für Umwelt, für unsere Zukunft allgemein leider spürbar eingebrochen. Auch wenn es in der medialen Wahrnehmung in den Hintergrund getreten ist: Die Lebensräume vieler Arten sind mehr denn je bedroht. Populationen schrumpfen gewaltig. Höchste Zeit zu handeln. Deswegen wiederhole ich heute noch einmal meinen Appell: Mache mit und setze dem Klimawandel und Artensterben Dein Engagement entgegen. Nehme nicht so einfach hin, dass wir das Leben vieler Geschöpfe unserem Gott des Wachstums opfern. Wir können etwas verändern, wir müssen etwas ändern. Mir liegt etwas daran, dass die sogenannte „letzte Generation“ nicht die „letzte Generation“ wird. Und Dir und Euch geht es nicht anders. Davon bin ich überzeugt. – Alles Liebe, Gert Holle.

Four years ago, I wrote “The Last Beluga Whale,” a song that was very important to me and with which I wanted to shake people up. Since then, commitment to the environment and to our future in general has unfortunately declined noticeably. Even though it has faded into the background in media coverage, the habitats of many species are more threatened than ever. Populations are shrinking dramatically. It is high time to act. That is why I am repeating my appeal today: join in and counter climate change and species extinction with your commitment. Don't just accept that we are sacrificing the lives of many creatures to our god of growth. We can make a difference, we must make a difference. It is important to me that the so-called “last generation” does not become the “last generation.” And I am convinced that you feel the same way. – All the best, Gert Holle.

Last Beluga Whale

The last falcon in the sky
circles across the desert land.
We take care of ourselves,
ignoring the changes in the world.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We did not understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The last beluga whale
plows through the plastic-strewn sea.
We do not want to see:
We are living beyond the means.
That’s what we learned,
growth is our God in daily life.
Want more of this?
We didn’t understand the warning signs.

I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

Bridge:
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
Wonder: How could tomorrow ever follow then.
Ride a nightmare to the bitter end.
We have to awake – right now!
I’m feeling blue
Aching in my heart – so deep.
I’m sorry for you.
Tears are running on the ground.

The children of the earth
begin to awake and cry.
Hope will never end,
but we have to start to change.
It’s almost too late,
but the future is not giving up yet.
We just have to see:
less could be more – most certainly.

I am confident,
closure in our hearts can change.
Come on - get on your way,
take the tiny chance – right now.

Jerry Garcia cover song.

Hey Valerie, baby what's the matter with you
I did all of the the things that you wanted me to
I went downtown with my pocket knife
Cut your other man but I spared his life
Valerie , wont you be good to me
Valerie, baby , what's the matter with you.
COME ON, COME ON, baby, and TELL ME TRUE.
Hey, now, baby, WHAT DID I DO.
I shot my dog because he growled at you
Valerie won't you be good to me
I NEVER, NEVER DONE YOU NO WRONG
I SING THE BLUES NEARLY ALL NIGHT LONG
VALERIE, Whats the matter with me
You know I'd do anything you say
I CAN"T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU TELL ME
PLEASE GO AWAY
I AIN'T AFRAID OF THE COLD CRUEL WORLD OUTSIDE
No CHICKEN LITTLE running from a falling sky.
THE only thing that troubles me is you
If you leave me what can I do
Valerie won't you be true to me
You got me down on the knees of my shakin' feet
Can't play the BLUES, Cause of you I DROP THE BEAT.
Valerie, What's your Complaint
I try to BE EVERYTHING I AIN'T
Valerie won't you be good to me
Valerie, wont you be good to me

Jerry Garcia cover song off the "Run for the Roses" album.
