Name: Whale Song
Duration: P00H03M09S
Description: I wrote this as I became aware of the whale issue. I had read Moby Dick and been moved by the economic forces that saw whales as so much potential profit and the heartless hunting of them just broke my heart, as do the millions of daily victims of the meat industry. I did many voices trying for a chorus-type lamentation.

lyrics

The sea the sand the grass the sea shore
the gull the tern the herron the seashore
the wet sand sticking to your feet
the pebbles the shells the crab on the seashore
the wind blowing sand across the seashore
the mist rising up out of the sea
the whalers passing out beyond the seashore
the harpoons glinting in the sunlight
the red whales hauled out of the red sea
