Maybe this song has more meaning since the "BP" mess created in the gulf States here in the good ole US of A, eh? Alot of water creatures & critters are really affected
i9760s scientists started giving public seminars about gw. ven ff corps started interfering 2 discredit scientists so vey cld keep making money. early 1970s govts bult 4 air monitoring stations around v world, 1 on sthn isle tasmania- clean air, sonn as recording started showed co2levels increasing. each year goes by we put more co2 into air, in a few yrs v permafrost will melt ( already started), ven methane ( much worse gas) released- game ovr!
@richtensail Already in 1967 GW was PERFECTLY and EXACTLY predicted altg hough NOTHING so far had showed. To deny GW is natural - all wants to have bigger cars and noone wants to do anything so therefore all those false hypocrites lies to themselves and pretend believing in it's NOT existing. Jeff Lynne is Christian now I beleive? ("Faith") Probably out of desperation for the earth! Go for it Jeff...
jeff wrote it n did it all, released in 1990 on his solo at.
some people appear ignorant on here, so 4 v flatearthers, first c.c. scientific paper relaesed 2 v public was in 1896!, in 1950s several govt got together n gave money to scientists 2 look into gw. early 1970s 4 air monitoring stations ordered to measure co2, 1 was built on a sthn isle named tasmania, clean air!, in 74 started recording n immediately showed climb in co2 levels.
But I'm sorry to say that antropogenic global warming is fraud in all ways it can be fraud. Temperature measurements, temperature reinforcement not supported by empirical studies, which shows the opposite, etc.
Great song! Even more brilliant singer/writer/producer.
Was the earth still facing catastrophic cooling because of greenhouse gases at the time of this song, or did all the lemmings make the switch to warming by 1990? I have a hard time keeping up!
LOL... I forgot to mention... listen to the WHOLE version... you have to wait a while, but if you can understand the accent... it's great!! lol (you might also need the album version lol)
I always remember introducing somebody to ELO/Jeff Lynne, and playing this song to them... it made them cry. It's a very simple and yet very powerful song, and probably one of the best things he has ever written (amongst all the zillions he has written!! lol). As I recall, it wasn't a charity song as somebody suggested, BUT... it should be a signature tune for whats happening... simple, but powerful!
Me three, though there are plenty more who share our thoughts. If they can compose brilliant, heart-melting songs like this then they can do anything. Honestly, I'm not generally very green but this song alone almost makes me cry with pain at what we're doing to the world.
As if I didn't love ELO enough already, now I find that they care about the environment too. Simple song, doesn't offend anyone, does exactly what it's meant to do and gets the message across. Catchy too. =D
Boring. Why is he putting on this fake Bob Dylan voice? Preachy pretentious rubbish.

Wish we could hear more of this kind of more simplistic, acoustic music from Jeff. Love this. Love him.

funny how whenever singers set out to write eco-friendly songs, their musical talent takes a hike.

WOW REALLY BEAUTIFUL SONG! Thanks for posting.
The song is 17 years old but it really shows the situation where the world is today!!
It´s sound like a charity single.

Jeff Lynne is known as a great producer, musician and singer but I think in the end, he'll be known as one of the best song writers ever.
