Backstory:

The group was formed by four childhood friends who shared a passion for creating melodies that voice their concerns about the ongoing crisis of global warming. After high school, they decided to channel their musical talents and love for nature into a unique and expressive art form, thus Anguished Nature was born. They worked tirelessly in a wooden cabin located deep in the forests of Oregon where they could immerse themselves in the tranquillity of nature, drawing inspiration from their surroundings.

Genre:

Anguished Nature categorizes their music as Eco-rock – an inventive fusion of rock, indie folk, and environmental soundscapes.

Title:

“Echoes of The Canopy”

Song lyrics:

(Verse 1)
[G] An echo of the [C] canopy, [D] whispers through the [Em] trees,
[G] We play an elegy, [C] for a world in [D] dire need.
[Em] The forest weeps in [C] sorrow, [G] stripped of her green [D] gown,
[Am] In the silence of the [C] night, we hear her [D] heartbreaking sound.

(Chorus)
[G] Echoes of the [C] canopy, [D] songs of the wild [Em] free,
[G] Tell us what you [C] need, we’ll heed your [D] sacred plea.
[Em] With guitars in our [C] hands, [G] we make the [D] world understand,
[Am] Through our music, through our [C] song, we’ll help the [D] earth to stand.

(Verse 2)
[G] The rivers run [C] dry, [D] mountains stripped [Em] bare,
[G] In our anguished [C] cry, we express our [D] despair.
[Em] For all that we’ve [C] lost, [G] for all that we [D] take,
[Am] We strum out our [C] apologies in [D] every wake.

(Chorus)
[G] Echoes of the [C] canopy, [D] songs of the wild [Em] free,
[G] Tell us what you [C] need, we’ll heed your [D] sacred plea.
[Em] With guitars in our [C] hands, [G] we make the [D] world understand,
[Am] Through our music, through our [C] song, we’ll help the [D] earth to stand.
