Looking for a song about Nature for a school project.

[leglez]

I am doing a school project and need a song that talks about nature. I can't find any so any would be helpful. Thanks

 

[leglez]

Or a good song that talks about Hypocrisy of Society or Power of the Individual.

Jay-Z - Money, Cash, Hoes

 

[monk3y]

This probably isn't what you're looking for but you should listen to it

TooL - Right in Two

 

[grrl]

It may be hard to find but a band called The Samples has a song called Nature.

Edit, they were around in the early-mid 90s.

 

[Leeroy]

First request: Within Temptaton - Perfect Harmony, also Within Temptation - Neverending Story, although less-so.

Second Request: Go record what the prisoners sing in the movie Power of One. Better yet, find the soundtrack somewhere.

Before the breathing air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone
And take back something worth remembering.

3 dog night

or,

It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song

It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong

group - spirit

 

[darkswordsman17]

Rush - The Trees

Not sure if its quite what you're looking for.

Heh, I thought of Tool, too... I'd go with "The Pot" however. Very directly about hypocrisy.

[LordMaul]

Hypocrisy of Society

Well, I'd have to say Insane Clown Posse's "Terrible" fits that perfectly.

:Q

 

[SirStev0]

[Ponyboy25]

"August 8th"

Birds sing there's not a cloud in the sky, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day,
I see a bunch of hippies crying, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day,
Like waking up from a real bad dream, suddenly everything is ok.
The storm has passed and the sun is shining, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day.

What's going on, what's going on, is something bumming your scene?
There's something wrong, there's something wrong, I'm not trying to be mean.

The air is sweet the summer flowers blooming nowhere in sight is there anything grey,
Feelings of joy are filling the street, yeah August 8th is a beautiful day.
Like waking up from a ****** up dream, suddenly everything's looking good.
There's been no permanent damage done, yeah August 8th came right when it should.

What's going on, what's going on, is something bumming your scene?
There's something wrong, there's something wrong, I'm not trying to be mean.

Poor Jeff,
Poor little Timmy Turtle,
Staying home on such a beautiful day.

If you want to go all metaphorical and sh!t look at Cusco's "Apuramac III" Album. It's Native American New Age. No lyrics, but with names like "Legend in the Redwoods" and "The Hunt" you can't go wrong. Go deep = A on project IMO.

Edit: If your looking for more regular stuff, try Switchfoot's latest album (Nothing is Sound). Specifically, I'd reccomend "We Are on Tonight" and "Politicians"

Song: They Paved Paradise Lyrics

They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parking lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
LEAVE me the birds and the bees please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Well, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Well now, they paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Now you wanna givin it all away

Hey, paved paradise, put up a parking lot
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot
