Earth Moves for Carole and Daria Sings

Earth Day Movement

The height of hippie and flower-child culture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”. Protest was the order of the day, but saving the planet was not the cause. War raged in Vietnam, and students nationwide increasingly opposed it...  As a result, on the 22nd of April, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies.

 Daria's World Music

When I reflect on Earth Day, I always think of Daria's World Music and Carole King's "I Feel The Earth Move." Remember that one? If you're not familiar with Daria, please visit Celebrate Earth Day and Music from the Andes. She's always having a giveaway, providing coloring pages and tips on how to make beautiful musical instruments like the Turtle Rattle mentioned above.

Daria Sings For Earth Day

I posted the chords to one of my favorite James Taylor songs awhile back. It was Carole King who wrote You've Got A Friend

I Feel The Earth Move

I feel the earth - move - under my feet

I feel the sky tum-b-ling down - tum-b-ling down

I feel my heart start to trem-b-ling -

Whenever you're around

  This song became a huge hit in 1971 from Carole King's Tapestry album.
