Wintersleep - a fantastic east coast band from Newfoundland. They have this new song out now, that reminds me of how I feel at times about our selfish impact on the world's climate. I've attached the permalink for the song so you can hear it, but the lyrics are below. (Note the Wall-E photo on the left ...poor little robot trying to clean up the mess we've made...he looks so sad)
Dead Letter and the Infinite Yes
Wintersleep
http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/Wintersleep/Dead-Letter-the-Infinite-Yes/
I found a letter it read
"Our existence has serious side effects"
Turned on, turned on the television
It's telling me the world is collapsing
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad?
And my therapist said
"We've evolved through a series of accidents"
There's been talk of chemical imbalances
Restless sense of detachment, nausea and or violence
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
And I don't know why it is
I feel it coming, I think it's real and significant
I think I think I think a little too often
That's what my therapist said
We're alone in this wilderness
Left to choke on the pills and to feed on the viruses
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I think it's coming and it comes so fast
I'm hearing whispers of an infinite yes
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad
Our bodies are dead, why you look so sad
