Even more #fortnightFridayMusic using a cue of #green because we're doing the reverse rainbow 🎉

They say an Elefant never forgets, they also published great bands like:

The Herd - Superweeds

https://youtu.be/YrFs0YuG67U

A lessor-known album track but they slide into the cue of green because they donated the track to Greenpeace: Friends of the Rainbow Warrior a compilation which, IIRC commemorated the 20th anniversary of the French sinking the Rainbow Warrior and murdering a photographer.

@timhollo & @frogworth also dropped a track onto that compilation.

🎶 It is time to act

It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say
It's not about what I cannot do
I'm gonna try not to waste today
Break my pattern into something new
I gotta hear what I need to say

Seems we're all consumers but rarely human beings
The suits got controls
Caviar and gold plates
Environment breaks down more ways, we grew food
Genetically engineer more food
More processed food these factories to force you
To get in touch with your chemical side, your pesticide
This whole enterprise makes me question why
We've got it so wrong, one too many swan songs
Is sustainability long gone or what?
Am I right to call out these criticisms?
A full bellied outspoken straight contradiction
I look into the face of those who are starving
Asking myself "Am I just making noise?"
With half the planet poised, waiting for an answer
I hold my place in the protest with an anchor 🎶

It's still #fortnightFridayMusic with a cue of #green  because we're doing the reverse rainbow 🎉

It's after midday on a Friday so it's time to start thinking about the night ahead, we've got the:

Skunhour - Green Light

Live at the home of so many musical memories, the Metro:

Another band that swam against the tide in the 90's.

🎶 Day shine appears I change a gear up
Touch the spirit loose within the shell
That drinks the breath I drew
My field's unbounded
I'm surrounded under sound that gives grounding
Pressing go, got good brew

Oh yeah, head high
We got, the green light
🎶

Hey! It's #fortnightFridayMusic & the cue is #green  because we're doing the reverse rainbow 🎉

I'm easying into my Friday with:

The Killjoys - The Greener Side

https://thekilljoys.bandcamp.com/track/09-the-greener-side

When Australia was neck deep in punk, pub rock and the emerging grunge scene, in 1990 the Killjoys felt all our lives needed a little more vibraphone in them.

Can't say I disgreed and this track is off what remains  the most beautiful album in my collection. Posting the entire lyrics as they're not online and I had to read them off the vinyl cover...

🎶 A grinning sun, some birds and trees
The colours run
Is that a picture you'd think I'd forget
When it's all right there, laid out in front of you
Never do something that you'd regret

But here and now
What would they ever know
If you and I, we took just one
And kept it alight

Though I know it's wrong to think no harm in this
I'd never undermine the vows you made
And give them back just as soon as you wanted them
Unless it's lost it's something you can't keep

...seasons never keep the peace inside
Someone's always feeling left behind
Though the path's well worn by now
Never's not enough anyhow

Funny how you're never really satisfied
Always looking to the greener side
Sometimes leap like sailors do in calenture
When what you wanted most was right beside 🎶
