about

“The World’s Become A Warmer Place” is the longest song and most specific in dealing with climate crisis, plight of refugees and human nature.
In the song “rafts and boats are overloaded” with desperate refugees and are transformed into Phoenixes lifted into space. A mythological bird carrying humans to salvation is not a literal suggestion, just an imaginative reaction. Maybe it is an unconscious reference to Neil Young’s “After the Gold Rush.”
The lyric rambles around, perhaps never quite touching down, but hopefully shedding light and insight on this complex of knots that the world struggles to recognize, let alone untie.
Does the song work? Not for me to say. I love the instrumental bedrock laid down by Tony, George and Bob on this song. In the second half of the song, they soar. I later wrote another version of the song, to focus on the environmental crisis. It is called “Crossroads” and appears on my 2020 album, The Promise. I like both versions and cannot choose one over the other.
