h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Oh, a song! I'll see if I can get some ideas. Do you have any?

Maybe 'What a Wonderful World This Would Be'?

If I think of anything else, I'll let you know.

Sorry, I think that's called 'What a Wonderful World'.

All of us, from whales to ants,
All of us depend on plans!

That should of course be:

All of us, from whales to ants,
All of us depend on plants!

I like it!

They give us shade, they give us food,
<musicalnote) They give us oxygen, and wood!

A blade of grass, a giant tree,
<musicalnote) The weeds and algae of the sea,
All are plants, you realize,
Because they photosynthesize.
But based on our criteria,
We exclude cyanobacteria.

*something*
*something*

But who would ever want to destroy a
Thousand-year-old giant sequoia?

OK I'll add more snippets of lyrics as they come to me ...

Great!

And the tune is...?

I'll work on the tune ... will need to find a way to get a long-ish vid onto my camera or otherwise onto my computer ...

I'm still thinking of new lyrics ... coming week is going to be hectic so I can't promise much.

To get back to the topic, here is musician and occasional actress Anna Davel:

Kompas (Compass)

Look at how the wind blows you further away from me
When the sun from the moon in its dusk-dark orbit
Where it goes

Look at how you walk without compass without direction
Without looking up and seeing how my arms reach toward you
Like a thirsty willow tree beside a dried-up stream

I can't stop it
All the storms that you must face
Not the love that I feel nor the compass controlling my heart
I can't stop it

Look at how I hope that time won't catch us out
See how I ask for more each day and each hour
Is like a small diamond finely polished on each side

Look how you hide in your books in thoughts
In your head it keeps pulsating the hammering of secrets
That beg you to tell everything
But it's easier to go lie alone each night

and I can't stop it etc.

Nice love lyrics.
