I think this may be the first song I've listened to on SC that I literally laughed out loud at (in the appropriate and approving way). So comforting to hear about these enlightened proles.

How did I miss this. Well made razor humor for dark times.

Perfectly crafted with tons of wonderful personality. Love these brass highlights to accentuate the irony and critical message. A class track! Durge

I recall fmr US Sec of State went on BBC to explain that worst thing about Putin invading Ukraine was that it distracted him from warring against climate change.  There’s a verse for you, right out of the news.

Back for another listen....what a blast!!  I'm thinking AOC should hear this;....

Greetings my Soundcloud friends. I'm very excited to share this remix of my latest solo effort, 'I Disbelieve'. Neons Gone Mad (https://soundcloud.com/prof-oddfellow, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCda8pJTvzwH3-Towb1AHhEw) does a wonderful job of adding quirky clockworky elements to the mix. And they create charming videos to support their efforts. Both are very worthy of your time. I hope you'll give em a spin. (Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plYeA0pEfx0) :)

Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me)

There's a beggar
In the city
He walks on his bare feet
His wife lies sick in the gutter
His daughter works the streets
But the beggar doesn't worry about those things
Poverty almost makes him sing!
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

There's a worker
From Bangladesh
Building houses in Qatar
Football stadiums and hotels
Rising up to reach the stars
But the scaffold gives way and that's the end
For our worker and thousands of his friends
You might find it strange
But on their minds as they fell to death
Was the threat from climate change

There's a family man
In China
He's a slave in a factory
Making lots of plastic stuff
That's shipped to you and me
And the sweatshop's open day and night
Who cares about workers' rights?
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

Little brother
Walking home
You're now on CCTV
When you stop for a hot dog
The authorities can see
The police reads your life like an open book
But hey! We can't let terrorists off the hook...
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

These new cars
They are so smart
They don't need energy
Just use the socket on your wall
And charge the battery
They drive by themselves in a long steely chain
It almost looks like (what's it called....?) a railroad train!
It's hard to believe, but it's true:
Electricity is a magic thing
That appears out of the blue!

80s electronic? Andrew Shields, who posted music under the name DNA Codex,  is a visual artist, spiritual ponderer and music creator. I came across his musical style on mp3u and we've  created a few pieces of music and message collaborations. Sun on Stones is an example of the way we combined ideas about the significance of ancient stones, from Stonehenge to Easter Island to Golbeklitepe. What does it mean to us as we soar into space and reach for the very stars that the ancients worshiped? You'll find no answers here, only exploration.  It is fun to dream of possibilities, and entertain mystical and spiritual significance of the ancients.

At a time when violence and war is threatening the very existence Ukraine, there is a need to find hope and grasp dreams of transcendence.

Lyrical message:

(Terry)
Sun on stones, my mind is racing onward.
Sun Stones of the ancient races.
Projecting upwards into heaven
A force to reach distant places,
For where they walked they left their traces,
Their traces, they left their traces,
Scattered here and there,
scattered everywhere
In the atoms, and the clouds, in the mercury of the hatter,
And in their drums and in the rhythms of the Tribes,
As they gathered together, as they gather together,
As they walk together , and all we have to do
Is to clasp our hands together
and look up to the heavens at night, 
And the stars so bright
As we gather, we gather round the fire
Round that burns inside
Round the fire that gives us laughter and hope until we die
Until we die, Hope until we die, 'til our souls take flight and fly
fly up to the night
Fly so high, Fly so...


(Andrew)
Sun on stones, my mind is racing
Sun Stones of the ancient faces.
Sun on stone, White as foam,
Blue and Gray, shooting up their rays
Sun on Stone, Sun on Stone,
Come on home, Come on ho-o-o-me
Come on Home, Come on ho-o-o-o-me
Come on ho-o-o-o-me

(Terry)
Sun on stones, my mind is racing onward.
Sun Stones of the ancient races.
Projecting upwards into heaven
A force to reach distant places,
For where they walked they left their traces,
Their traces, they left their traces,
Here and there, they left their  traces,
scattered everywhere
In the atoms, and the clouds, and in the mercury of the hatter,
In the drums, and the rhythms of the Tribes,
As they gathered together, 
They gather in the jungle and they gathered in the deserts
And all we have to do
Is to clasp our hands together
and gaze up to the heavens at night, 
To the stars so bright
As we gather, we gather round the fire
The fire that burns inside
the fire that brings us laughter and hope until we die
And Hope until we die, Hope until we die, 
'til our souls take flight and fly...fly...
