Climate Protesters On Vacation by Sascha Ende

Hit or Miss? Arti’s Review

This track has a distinct theatrical charm, instantly bringing to mind classic musicals. The bright brass instrumentation is a standout, creating a playful and slightly retro atmosphere. The female vocals are clear and engaging, perfectly matching the style. The arrangement, while full and energetic, could benefit from subtle refinement for enhanced clarity; perhaps a touch less density in the harmonies at points. Production-wise, it's functional, but a more polished mix and master would elevate its industry appeal, especially for sync licensing. Imagine a wider stereo image, deeper low-end, and smoother highs – it would shine. Emotionally, it's lighthearted, humorous, and subtly ironic, making it ideal for comedic scenes, animations, or quirky ads. Minor production tweaks could broaden its media usability. It's a characterful, charming piece with potential for the right project.

Additional Information

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
The cat is purring, and it's quite absurd,
A carbon footprint, bigger than a bird.
Flights to Mallorca, don't seem so bad,
Compared to Whiskers, it's kinda sad.

[Chorus]
Oh, the world's on fire, but don't you fret,
It's all in the name of the internet.
We tweet and we post, we march and we shout,
But when the summer hits, we fly right out.

[Verse 2]
Activists sit on the street, blockin' the way,
But come December, they're in Bangkok bay.
Fighting the good fight, in their own special way,
Vacation's calling, can't keep it at bay.

[Chorus]
Oh, the world's on fire, but don't you fret,
It's all in the name of the internet.
We tweet and we post, we march and we shout,
But when the summer hits, we fly right out.

[Bridge]
Drive electric cars, save the polar bears,
But those exotic trips, we can't compare.
Plastic straws are bad, but who really cares,
When sipping piña coladas in deck chairs?

[Verse 3]
Recycling bins are filled to the brim,
But our conscience is lighter, the chances are slim.
The earth keeps warming, but we stay cool,
Hypocrisy, thy name is April Fool.

[Chorus]
Oh, the world's on fire, but don't you fret,
It's all in the name of the internet.
We tweet and we post, we march and we shout,
But when the summer hits, we fly right out.

[Outro]
So let’s toast to the planet, in our own little way,
We’ll fix it tomorrow, but first, let’s play.
The earth is our mother, we love her so dear,
As long as it’s sunny, and flights are still clear.
