Establishing the mood with a sublime guitar soundscape and immersive frequencies, MICHAEL WATERS opens Requiem for Earth with a high emotional quotient and the poignant lyrics, “Mother nature’s angry now, and any wonder, she vows to flood and thunder, and send the hurricanes that frighten everyone and plunder the world that she has made, see she is crying with tears of acid rain on trees that stand dying…”
We immediately connect with the message of the song and the raw authenticity that transmutes at a time when we, as a society, need it the most. Requiem for Earth serves as an important commentary on the destruction of our shared home. There is no doubt that we are at a turning point where the destruction caused by animal agriculture and fossil fuels needs to be addressed.
Michael paints the image of a “red alert” as he shares a love song and requiem for Earth with poetic prowess and intentional depth. The rising artist tells us, “Rather than being a protest song, Requiem for Earth is a love song.”
The visionary artist adds, “I wanted to write a song that speaks to the relationship many of us have with the Earth itself – almost as though singing to someone we love who is suffering.”
We appreciate the raw emotion that transmutes, and there is no doubt that Requiem for Earth holds a cinematic allure, making it perfect for a multitude of sync placements, notably a David Attenborough documentary, or perhaps films like Families Like Ours, Don’t Look Up, and Rebuilding. Aligned with Michael’s purpose, and art as activism, we hope that this call to action truly has impact.
Needless to say, we are in awe, and deeply appreciate what MICHAEL WATERS has created. We have added Requiem for Earth to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we immerse ourselves in the accompanying visual for the song, and Michael’s wider discography, including La La Love Song, and If You Want To We Can Talk About It.
