In 2021 there were 2,755 billionaires in the world. They are guilty of committing ECOCIDE - yet they continue to choose profit over battling climate change.

Billionaires are the leading cause of climate change. More than 70% of global emissions come from just 100 companies as stated by the Carbon Majors Report.

Amazon alone emitted 61 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2020 - the equivalent of 16 coal-burning power plants running for a year.

Some of America’s most prominent companies, including Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Disney are backing business and lobbying groups that are fighting landmark climate legislation despite their promises to combat the climate crisis.

Time is running short - THERE IS NO PLANET B


                             Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

Billionaires are destroying the planet
just so they can make a profit
pollution is killing Dear Mother Nature
melting - wiping out all our glaciers.

CHORUS
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan
Greta Greta Greta U Da Man
you're the woman with a plan.

Heat waves are killing more and more people
we keep on burning more and more diesel
you don't have to be a rocket scientist
to know why fires destroy our forests.
Politicians are climate change deniers
in the meantime, our homes are on fire
the air we breathe smell like hell
thanks to the coal and oil cartels.

CHORUS

MONOLOGUE

Rising sea levels from China to California
causing devastation - Hallelujah
writings on the wall with plastic in our seas
welcome to the world of climate refugees.
Every year when it's hurricane season
the rains and floods are beyond reason
subways flooding thanks to carbon emissions
now our planet is in remission!

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

So start listening to the children
and heed the words of Mr. Bob Dylan
or it's a "Hard Reigns Gonna Fall"
your need for greed will be our downfall.

CHORUS

Billionaires are destroying the planet
Billionaires are destroying the planet

Billionaires Are Destroying The Planet

When you take into consideration that modern footballers have infinitely better equipment and technical assistance at their disposal, George Best's stats (not that I’m a great fan of these) show what a great player he was. I certainly never saw a player who could do what he could with a football. He was the first footballer to transcend the sports pages and become what we now term ‘a celebrity’. Today’s players are protected from the pressures he experienced but George was always surrounded by people who merely wanted to bathe in his reflected light and take advantage of his generosity. His slide into alcoholism is well documented but, had he played under today’s conditions, his life may have been totally different.

I was fortunate enough to meet him on three occasions and on one of those had the pleasure of just the two of us sitting at a table, sharing our love for football. It probably only lasted about twenty minutes but it meant the whole world to me because he seemed genuinely interested in everything I had to say. He even told me he could speak to Matt Busby and get me a trial at Man. Utd. To this day I regret not taking him up on the offer, not because I thought I was the next George Best but to have my hero offer a trial at the club I supported was something never to be forgotten.

Many years later, I reached a time when drink became my escape from everything and looking back, it scares me to remember how easy it was to become so dependent. I was very lucky to have been rescued by a wonderful woman who gave me a true reason to be. If you've never been utterly dependent on something it’s difficult to realise how much it totally controls your life and the experience certainly gave me a window into George’s world.

As far as I’m concerned, he was the greatest football player that ever lived - even the great Pele said, “George Best is a footballer without comparison”. This is why I say, "Come back Georgie!"

Hans’ brilliant arrangement and Gary’s power drumming give musical wings to my honest tribute to George and I owe them both the deepest of thanks for that. If you listen closely, you’ll be able to hear what the man himself thinks about his football career and I totally agree with every word. Many thanks for listening. (Terry Reeves)

An addendum. You all need to know just how good a footballer Tel was. I watched him play schoolboy football and he was always the best player on the pitch, leading his teams to the winning of many trophies. But for injury problems (he had his leg broken twice) he could have played professional football. I had the privilege of playing Sunday League football with him and his skills were light years ahead of everyone else. In one game, he scored with a shot from the halfway line and this was a good 15/20 years before David Beckham did it. He was special. (Gary Reeves)

Yes I drank the bottle dry
Please don't ask the question why
Just accept this drunken man
Drinking for another plan

Couldn't take things in my stride
Second place it hurt my pride
Told to take some time to think
Think I'll have another drink

CHORUS:
Yes he's the greatest, he really has it all
The king of any man who ever kicked a ball
He makes the headlines every time he shows his face
I wonder if they know our hero up in space?
If not it's just a disgrace
He's here
Georgie 
No fear

Tried to force me to retire
From the bottle I admire
Knew I'd lose out in the end
Destroying me or my best friend

Belong to no one else but me
I'm not public property
I know I have myself to blame
Life is not my favourite game

CHORUS

It's not as sad as you might think
Not looking for a missing link
And I don't need an open door 
Cause all I have to do is pour

Georgie, Georgie come back Georgie...

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS (V1) - CRIPPLE CLUB & HANS ALBERS

This original pop ballad relates two people who have been separated and unable to be together for too long. When they are finally reunited it seems too good to be true. There is a tension, trepidation in how to reengage and to open up the deep affection they have for one another. The ukulele drives this one from the start as it brings some old school crooning with the two voices that celebrate this uplifting love song.

Lyrics:
Please, tell me what to do
I just cannot believe 
I’m standing here with you
You're really here with me

And oh, we held off for so long
So fine, the line between right and wrong
And now you fill the air I breathe
Your eyes seem too much to conceive
And I’m just standing here in awe
Tell me should I close the door

And hold you in my arms
Just Like I used to dream
Tear those bridges down
So you might never leave

Now, the face I know so well
The cloud is lifted I can tell
Your smile can finally be revealed
Now we know our love is real
As I close the door behind
Your lips come close to mine

Oh just kiss me till I go
With love I need to know
This time is ours alone
Tomorrow is long gone

Please, tell me what to do
As I’m standing here with you
I just cannot believe 
You're really here with me

Tell me what to do
Please, tell me what to do
I’m so in love with you
Please, tell me what to do

Tell Me What To Do

Wonderful World

Room Of Strangers W/ Morten Jeamland

What began as a prosaic comment evolved into an enriching collaboration.  Our friend and Soundcloud poet laurate Peter joins us on a fishing voyage.  Seagull, not content to do a simple voice over, remixes the track and places us on a fishing boat, the sea a bit rough, the gulls impatient for part of the catch, and Peter not just reading but dynamically narrating what he is experiencing on the deck of the ship.  What an honor to work with these artists enlarging on our previous collaboration.  Please check out more of Seagull's music @farout-music-studio, and Peter's poignant songs and poetry @user-264930040

My sanctuary from archive gleans
The gentle times, wherein my mind
Recalls a childhood spent in dreams
Of bobbing boats on ocean spied.

Here, the call of a benevolent sea
The briny, perfumed honesty
Of adolescent memories.

But whence this salty desert sea
Where once the skinny trawler plied?
Plastic water ocean streams
Where finny, swimmy fish should lie.

Silenced of the chuggy motors
Decimated by their quotas
Where the haddock, cod and herring bloaters?

The factory ships that hoovered clean
Of scaly friends the sea main wide.
Its cheaply speckled high protein
Squandered as the herring gull cried.

Where the fishers, where the boats?
Where the nets, and yellow rubber coats?
Where the pots, and lines and corky floats?

...wherein my mind
Recalls a childhood spent in dreams
Of bobbing boats on ocean spied.
Why, they set sail for the past it seems,
Upon tomorrow's ebbing tide.

Childhood Memory--Updated (Seagull, David, and featuring Peter)

I recently listened, enthralled, to a wonderful piece of music here on SC, encapsulating Seagull's childhood memories of boats and the sea, produced in collaboration with David and his guitar artistry.  Having grown up on the banks of a river on the edge of the North Sea in a culture where fishing was an integral part of the local DNA, I enthused about the music; it absolutely captured the essence of sea salt in the air, and the dreams and memories it evokes.  I was thrilled therefore when David came up with a suggestion.....

Seagull, David, thank you so much for allowing me to add my own little nuance to this work;  I'm very proud indeed to be part of the result.

Listen to more of Seagull's music here:  https://soundcloud.com/farout-music-studio  and David's here: https://soundcloud.com/david-dunhamuser589535203

The photo is of herring boats at the quayside in North Shields, at the mouth of the River Tyne, England, around the turn of the last century.

The flower that she was way back when
Grew into the woman she is today
I loved her from afar, Lord
Then, she offered me…….
a warm place to stay
We never looked back 
Our Love, it’s found a way
Time has been most kind
And, it’s brought us here today
I wish the days could be longer
And…..the feeling’s growing stronger
As we move along our way
For the Flower that she was
Is the woman
She is today
The time left in our Lives, Lord
Falling more and more in love 
Each and every day
Falling more and more in love
Each and Every Day

Sunny Beaches All Around

Showstopper, pill popper
What’s it all about
Bad weather coming down
The fans sing and shout
Cry heaven, earth in ruin
A battle won and lost
Somewhere up a Muslim moon
Somewhere down a Christian cross

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation

Survivor, revive her
She can’t die again
What will we do without her
The last link on freedom’s chain
Cities fall, madmen rise
Fear everywhere
Kids learn the facts of life
From bigots who don’t care

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation
Oh…it’s a situation
A bad situation

Singing sweet and strong
Weeping deep and long
What voice comes to you today?
Singing sweet and strong
Weeping deep and long
What voice comes to you today?

And oh it’s a situation
A bad situation
Oh…it’s a situation
A bad situation

Laid to rest, she was the best
To her grave alone
With every song she ever sung
To find a way back home
A lone wind calling, sirens howling
Somewhere someone screams
If we could lay our weapons down
And like her start to sing

Simple Man

There is an English songwriter and performer you don't know,but should be aware of. You'll get his highly original and Bowie flavoured material here.

https://soundcloud.com/commodore-64/tracks

I was more than flattered when he asked me to collaborate on one of his songs It took me out of my comfort zone and I believe we made a good fit.

His sense of humour is typically English and this is a love song to his wife,couched in the lyrical content of technological obsolescence! 
Work that out!   😄

A head so full of relics I might just as well forget
The melody of pirate software uploading off cassette
Now I Instagram the Reeboks strung up in the treetops
It's trivia that reminds you, you've seen more days than you project.
Stuck in an 80s ballad: over emoting and constantly hoping for the big drums to kick in, and when

Nothing happens, everything changes
There is a pattern - if you squint you can start to see

Our friends put the child locks on, it didn't stop them falling out
We had our days of silence but they were nothing much to shout about
The server farms are screaming but we still whisper down the wires
As the revolution's webcast one Gig at a time
I swagger round - the pacifist gunslinger who begged to stay for dinner.

Nothing happens, everything changes
There is a pattern - if you squint you can start to see
That when everything changes, all that remains is
Your patience and the constant of your company

All I want is to become obsolete together.
