Midnight Oil 'Song a Day' #18 "Earth and Sun and Moon"

"Earth and Sun and Moon"
In the morning we will wake up and take to the air
Look back at the planet - I'm glued to my chair
Southern half is burning as we climb through the cky
Sea birds softly falling, smoke way up high
There's the contours of the mountains, the deserts and plains
And a hurricane is blowing, and it turns once again
Now there's oil spills in the water where Columbus once sailed
And there's history and mystery and it's rolling away
I wish you could see this great mystery
Earth and sun and moon, human tribe, thin blue line
Earth and sun and moon will survive
Sediment is flowing from river to sea
Now where are the mighty nations, no lines to be seen
An axe…

It took me a few days of listening to really hook into this album but I loved it...
A sprawling sound exploring the environment, vision and love
A couple of the songs hang together for a concert segment and bring in synth and variety without it being over produced!!
