I thought I’d tackle the very serious issue of climate change by penning a Hank Williamsy, cry-in-your-beer c&w love song about it. As for the quality, you’ve heard of The Basement Tapes, right? Well, think of this as a whatever is below the basement tape. The great musicianship should be attributed to my buddy, Guy (not THE Buddy Guy, my friend Guy, who provides the stunning guitar work). Lyrics and singing can be blamed on yours truly. 

Note: There is no ferret in the picture, just arctic critters, so you can spare yourself the search.

Warmer Than My Heart

 

Cherry trees in Tokyo are blossoming in March

New Yorkers in January picnic in the park

I read you letter late last night and sat there in the dark

every place it’s warmer than my heart

 

Moscow in the winter is like Paris in the spring

I wonder why in old Shanghai the birds have come to sing

in Berlin I saw you girl in your brand new boyfriend’s car

every place it’s warmer than my heart

 

(refrain)

we’re told that we must heed the warning

or life as we know it could well come to an end

but I’m hoping that global warming

will melt your heart and bring you back, back to me again

 

businessmen pay scientists to say it isn’t so

on the slopes skiers hope for just a little snow

if you want to cool things down, I know the place to start

every place it’s warmer than my heart

 

The climate crime rate’s going up just like the mercury

the way you cooled our romance down seems like a crime to me

we had a good thing going till you blew it all apart

now every place it’s warmer than my heart

WTS another inspired illustration and great song lyrics to go with it.

I hate to be a bummer and actually talk about the issue but we would be crazy as a country not to invest in technologies to lower CO2 emissions even though China is resisting standards they are making huge investments in clean energy technology. Again our fast food thinking nation will fall behind if we don’t do something now.

Just did a quick search on the biggest solar energy plants and we’re not doing too badly — but not nearly as well as Spain.

Yup and much of the investments the Dems have made with the stimulus have helped a great deal. I love the high speed rail plan the president has put forward as well. We just need to keep it up and take money from the polluters to use as investments.

Spain is ahead because they have some of the most restrictive CO2 laws in effect now.

Hey whatsie, how about a duet? “Baby It’s Cold Outside” perhaps?

Great art and great song.
I wish I was more artistic that way.

To be a witty writer/thinker, and an artist, AND a singer/songwriter. Well, that is the trifecta. WTS, I’m almost afraid to ask what else you can do! If I find out you’re also a chess grand master or can golf like Tiger Woods, I’m going to be verrrry upset. 🙄
