[Oe List ...] Songs for Collapsing Times

[sherwoodshankland at comcast.net]

Ellie Stock has a complete set of all the movement songs plus some recent additions in 3-ring binders. Eunice and I just visited Carleton and Ellie in St Louis and sang together over lunch 😊. (not sure what the Archives in Chicago hold, but guessing Ellie’s set is comprehensive… Cheers / Sherwood

This is a great one, Milan! Thanks so much for sharing it.  Your guitar and your voice were both wonderful.  I do hope you keep composing,

 

Maybe it’s time to gather a new edition of the Global Songbook?!

I've been pondering for some time how those who care in these times of failing systems and "great unraveling" sustain themselves. We always had the singing whenever we gathered. I've wondered if singing can still be a sustaining dynamic in these diasporate times. I've turned to writing poetry after running out of prose, finding it a bit too prosaic. And recently, after listening to Ellie Stock's "Let the Earth Breathe" several times, begun to think and feel after a way to have some 'singable' songs, to both take in the seriousness of our predicament, and to try to lighten the load as we grieve our way through the great transition we are surely well into. Thanks to Ellie and her crew, Michael Dowd and his Post Doom, Post Gloom work, and William Catton and his "Overshoot," introducing us to the Homo Colossus we have become as a result of our industrial revolution. This song, "Homo Colossus Lament" was also inspired by the song I remember singing back in the 1950s at summer camp, "Oh They Built the Ship Titanic." The lyrics I wrote follow the P.M. Adamson version of that tune, found on YouTube. My guitar picking fingers are a little more still and my singing voice is not as pure as it once was. So maybe Ellie or one of you musicians could have made a better singable cover of it. I hope there might be more "Singalongs for Collapsing Times" to come.
