Playlist?

Yes.

You may notice that there are references to (more or less) popular songs in The Earth Speaks. I was inspired by those songs and many others.

I see a richness of feeling in many songs. I wonder if many people pass over the song as a pleasant nothing whose only effect is to fill a few minutes.

On this page I will try to point out some of the feeling that I perceive in songs that I have noticed. I will add to this page as I get time and inspiration, treating it as something of a blog. Please don’t look for a logical order.

The first song referenced is “Suzanne” by Leonard Cohen, which I have always liked and has a flavor similar to what I wanted to create.

“Suzanne takes you down to her place by the river

…

There are heroes in the seaweed; there are children in the morning.

They are leaning out for love, and they will lean that way forever

…”
