I really like the rising and falling guitar lick you have going on here. The melody on the chorus is also really nice.

Wow, I LOVE this. That chorus is fire (and that's literally the first time I've ever called anything fire). Great melody throughout, unforgettable, and I not only agree with the song but also think the emotion is perfect. Instant classic.

Very well done, Claes, a really great anthem for the sentiment.

Brilliant!!! Mother Earth is pleading and bleeding! Love everything about this song... Lyric, vocal, harmonica, and amazing guitar! 🙂🎶👏❤️ from David Easterling

Hot damn, Claes, really digging this one! Wow! Everything is on point to carry a really powerful environmental message. Really incredible work & advocacy with this one, friend.

And then you hit us with the harmonica. I'm undone.

Love this feel a lot! Very timely and well exucted. Love the chorus!

Loved this, Claes -- that simple percussion element really gives an exotic atmosphere. Great melody and fantastic chorus! Well done!

This is great   Love that riff that plays throughout   The verse.  Real earworm

Song A Week 2021, week 8 the theme was "Change, please".
Please excuse me, if I ended up sounding a bit political again, but these were the words that came to me when faced with those two words.

The ice is melting, the white bear's escaping to town
The waters rising, soon the old coast is nowhere to be found
Wildfires are raging, raging out of control
"This isn't global warming, just something cyclical", we're being told
And Mother Earth is crying out; 
"Change, please change your ways before it's too late.
Change, please change your ways. This wasn't meant to be my fate" 

Storms - devastating, lives and possessions destroyed
The crust is crumbling, as we're greedily fracking for more oil
while Mother Earth is pleading;
"Change, please change your ways before it's too late.
Change, please change your ways. This wasn't meant to be my fate"

This after all is our home, that I,m talking about
If the roof is leaking, foundation breaking, you'd want to fix it, right?!

And Mother Earth keeps crying out;
"Change, please change your ways before it's too late.
Change, please change your ways. This wasn't meant to be my fate"

Mainly a guitarist, and sometimes singer-songwriter, I am influenced mostly by the singer-songwriters from the 60's and early 70's.
