No Planet B

Some say the work of a journalist is easy. As long as you got the pen and the paper then viola! You can write. But it's not that easy, especially if you want to touch someone's lives and make them accountable for all their doings. Consider our environment. You want people to take action, do better to our surroundings, and be more responsible. But how will you make them listen to you? How will they know you're even worth being listened to? How will I know I am worth listening to.

Music. Music makes people listen. And so with a little bit of ink on paper and a good ear I created the No Planet B and Mother. Both songs talk about the present state of our environment in the modern society. How we are subconsciously destroying earth and still pretending everything is better. Basically it's a make-you-guilty kinda song. It tells you to open your eyes to the possibilities of the outcomes of our actions. With every action comes consequences whether it's bad or good. And these consequences greatly affects our environment.

No Planet B

Grass aint greener

Anymore frankly

Sky's not clearer

Cant breath freely

Chorus:

There's no planet B

Earth is we'll ever have

Cant you really see?

Now its a waste of land

There's no planet B

We suffer & they fall

Saving is the key

That's what we're living for

There's no planet B

Our planet's all we had

Why do people feel

That killing seems reward?

There's no planet B

It will be the end

Better change to see

The nature's best we had

Verse II:

You act like you care but you dont

Petend you're blind and cant see

But it takes to feel that our Earth has always been full of hurt and tears

The sky, the trees, the sea

The air we breathe weeps in front of me

-Break-

Verse III:

If nature talked to you

It'll plead from its core

What should be the truth?

Its really all our fault

Change must start with you

To save our mother Earth

Time to kill our views

That there's another Earth but

Chorus

This is actually a digital pop style to catch the attention of modern societies especially the youths. The title No Planet B in particular says it all. Scientists and researchers are all finding ways to have an alternative living planet just in case ours is not livable anymore. In this song, once the the earth is destroyed only then we'll realize that we cannot adapt to other planets. That it's too late to make it all right. That all those years and years of finding a new planet while we kill our own was the biggest mistake we ever did. It's good to prepare for the future, but remember that we only do that because we have today and let's always make today last.

Mother

Verse 1:

Wont u take a look around

Dont u hear that perfect sound

Of mother nature's heartbeat

Cant you see that she's in tears

Refrain I:

Were judge by our actions and not our intentions

Cant u see that she is fading

We tend to neglect all the cause of these troubles

Cant u see that she is falling?

Mother

Chorus I:

You are trees thats now been burned

You are the ashes from our land

You are the draughts to our sea

You are the poison that we breathe

You are our mother

Verse II:

Wont u take a look around

See the face of ruined God

The nature's beauty are lost

And we should care for it most

Refrain II:

We're judge by our actions and not our intentions

Evolving can be more destructing

We tend to feed more of our avarice perfections

We'll be the one who's only suffering

Mother

Chorus II:

You're now the withered flowers there

You are forest that's been bare

You are the darkness from the sky

You are the storm that's way up high

You are our mother

Bridge:

If we could love again

We'd swear we'll love you till the end

To make things rights again

We will embrace u like a friend

You are our mother

Chorus III:

You are the trees that now grows tall

You are the land with healthy soil

You are the clean and clear blue sea

You are the fresh air that we breathe

You're now the pretty flowers there

You are the forest that is green

You are the brightness from the sky

You are the rainbow way up high

You are our mother

The song Mother is a ballad genre. This song pleads and cries for help and rejuvenation. Earth is our actual mother and if you see your mother dying would you just stand back and watch? Some people definitely would. No doubt about that. But for those people who cares, they don't know how much difference they can make altogether. Every drop of water counts and is relevant to make an ocean, the ocean. Every person who cares counts for a bigger and more permanent change.

If you ask me what's the inspiration behind to write and turn them into songs? Simple, I want to experience life a bit more longer here on earth and hopefully I won't be alone. Don't you want to live and not just survive?

It is a great challenge for journalists to make people listen given our present circumstances wherein people don't have the time. We live in busy society that finds ignorance amusing and knowledge dull. With a short attention span a few people can give me, let's make them worthwhile, shall we?
