Dear Earth

《Appreciation》Track 9 (English)

· 《Appreciation》 Album English

Brief | written for the nature | Sub-genre: classical crossover | Language: English

We refer to earth as Mother Earth; our excessive development leads to global warming, accelerating the changes in climate and geology, yet we forget to pause and listen to Her voice. Through the flowing melody of the orchestra, the song brings out the wonderful harmony of the land, sea, and creatures. The whale’s crying sound symbolizes the threat of ocean pollution and greenhouse effect on the ecology. The Opera vocal signifies the gentle and sorrowful response of Mother Earth; this song is a conversation with the earth, expressing our reverence and deepest apology to Her.

Lyrics

Winter has gone
Too far too soon
A piece of my mind
Has gone out of tune
Feel the elements
That made the universe
I'm lying on the ground that quietly changes

I would then close my eyes
No words to speak
Just hear the wind whisper in my ears
And tells me to fly away for a moment
O I think I kind of like this

(Opera / mother earth voice)
