This song to me is about the condition of our nations water supply and the worlds. It's by Mos Def entitled, "New World Water", off the albulm "Black on Both Sides". This is only part of the song, but I thought this part had the most to say. Enjoy!
--Dustin 12:20, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
Another song I have is by "Atmosphere", off the album "Seven's Travels". The song is "Shhh" and to me it's about his love from where he's from and grateful that his city doesn't have all the problems of others; pollution, overpopulation, ext. Here's a clip.
Watched/Listened to Franti perform this song at en environmentally focused music festival in Cali. -This is just a small excerpt- Generally, the band spread out music relaying messages of social unification and opposition of the US governments environmental policies...But, like all art, these lyrics are open for for personal interpretation...
--Hoffster 12:03, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
From the album, "Ozomatli." This band has deep Hispanic roots... lyrics have been translated from Spanish to English using a computer program. This band often speaks out about political opposition and international concern for unification and environmental consciousness.

SOng can be found on the LIVE album. Deals with the effects we are having on our nation. --Kerrifes 09:20, 7 September 2007 (PDT)
Song has to with the effects of our actions on the world!
Song has to deal mainly with break up but mentions how its a beautiful world/nuclear field and rain. Then it mentions how we want to change the world. Bush doesn't directly sing about the environment but is willing to mention the effects of our environmental situations.
SOng is on the WHITE ALBUM Song can be found on the album in my basement and most likely on line! Kerrifes 23:34, 4 September 2007 (PDT)
It seems we're putting a lot of stuff in the water nowadays and after hearing this song it really puts a message out there and says we should do something now and fast.
