[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 4199591, member: 924"] When the Music's Over by the Doors is probably a good pick for what you are going for, both in tone and lyrically. Although I think "Celebrate" from Kool & The Gang would be better. Forests and such might look beautiful in pictures, but if you actually had to live near one, you'd want it paved, too. It's very very icky. And unpleasant. Horrible animals and insects, diseases, smells. Seriously. I live only 30 miles south of St. Louis, and I have to put up with ticks (several a day in peak season, it's a miracle I don't have Lyme disease), mosquitoes, coyotes, raccons, skunks, snakes. Not to mention dozens of deer, the stupidest animals ever to walk the Earth. Have you ever been trampled by one? It's not fun. I can't imagine how awful it must be for those people living in a jungle or rainforest. Those of us in the US and Europe are lucky, our wilderness was largely tamed 100s of years ago, but people in lesser developed countries just have to put up with it. Sure, maybe they can move to urban areas, but the other parts of their countries are crowded as it is. But is it really fair to them to have to suffer, while we live in comfort? [/QUOTE]
