Great rhythm, great lyrics to think about!

Ecological song, full of creativity, the lyrics are well written. 👍

Very fine song, great vocal too, well done Steve !

A heavy stomp style tune with an interesting chord progression in it. Liked it!

interesting song........i must admit, i keep wondering why the climate protesters keep trying to block cars........but no protests at the airports?......i think if they were as passionate as they make out, they wouldn't be doing what they are doing in the uk , which accounts for only 1.1% of the worlds emissions but doing it in india or china!

Not really alt rock but the guitar solo at the end is fairly anarchic. 

To Fly or not to Fly 

To fly or not to fly YES!
To fly or not to fly NO! 

To fly or not to fly that is the question.    
It’s a no brainer ‘cept for the greedy and absurd.   
There’s kilos of carbon coming from engines. 
While the earth below - floods and burns

M’lady says she’s gotta fly yeah it’s in the blood            
She’s gotta have exotica - it’s there for the taking
Even though people of the world - are under the pump
And down there in the wheat fields – the crops are baking

To fly or not to fly YES!
To fly or not to fly NO! 

Hate being a gloomy carrier pigeon
But the writings there on the internet
The forecast for earth - it’s grim and turgid
Makes it dumb to fly airliner jets

M’lady says the scientists - will find a solution
There’s no need to live  - like a peasant farmer
She don’t need to feel shame - about her vapor trail
Hey she’s never been - to West Estonia
