Eco-communities as a social vision

Eco-communities as a social vision
Egalitarian and ecological communities, like the pictured East Wind (www.eastwind.org), are very close to our vision of an ecological society

"Society" by Jerry Hannan, performed by Eddie Vedder (2007)


It's a mistery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
you think you need
and when you think more than you want
your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'cos when you have more than you think
you need more space

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

there's those thinking more or less less is more
but if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
your level drops
kinda like its starting from the top
you can't do that...

society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me


A song criticism to the passion of consumerism, a passion that characterizes our society. This feeling of incompleteness when we have anything we want and we are not satisfied. It’s a substancial thing of our social values. The song is included in the soundtrack of the 2007 movie “Into the Wild” about the true story of a young boy Christopher McCandless, who disgusted by these social values, left his in trouble family and his bright academic career and went to live alone in the wild, but unfortunately died by the unpredicted forces of nature.

We also read in another song (Far Behind) from this soundtrack
Empty pockets will allow
a greater sense of wealth

a common philosophy about the differences between the terms "I Need" and "I Want"

You can hear this song, performed by Pearl Jam’s frontman Eddie Vedder who wrote the music of this soundtrack, in youtube and Far Behind

“To the wild country” by John Denver, Album: I Want To Live (1977)



There are times I fear I lose myself
I don’t know who I am
I get caught up in the struggle and the strain
With my back against a stonewall
My finger in the dam
Losin’ strength and goin’ down again

And I take a look around me
My eyes can’t find the sun
There’s nothing wild as far as I can see
Then my heart turns to Alaska
And freedom on the run
I can hear her spirit callin’ me

To the mountains, I can rest there
To the rivers, I will be strong
To the forest, I’ll find peace there
To the wild country, where I belong

Oh, I know some times I worry
On worldly ways and means
And I can see the future killing me
On a misbegotten highway
Of prophecies and dreams
A road to nowhere and eternity

And I know it’s just changes
Yes, and mankind marchin’ on
I know we can’t live in yesterday
But compared to what were losin’
And what it means to me
I’d give my life and throw the rest away

To the mountains, I can rest there
To the rivers, I will be strong
To the forest, I’ll find peace there
To the wild country, where I belong
To the wild country, where I belong


A song written for Alaskan landscape. It's a vision of ecsaping from the frustrating every day life.

“Green, green” by New Christy Minstrels, Album: Ramblin' (1963)


Green, green, it's green they say
On the farside of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still.

Well, I told my mama on the day I was born
Don't you cry when you see I'm gone
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down
I just gotta be travelin' on.

Green, green, it's green they say
On the farside of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still.

Oh, there ain't nobody in this whole wide world
Gonna tell me how to spend my time
I'm just a good lovin' ramblin' man
Say buddy, could you spare me a dime.

Green green it's green they say
On the farside of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still.

Well, I don't care when the sun goes down
Where I can lay my weary head
Green, green valley or rocky road
It's where I'm gonna make my bed.

Green green it's green they say
On the farside of the hill
Green, green, I'm going away
To where the grass is greener still.

To where the grass is greener still.
To where the grass is greener still...

Album: “Shine” by Joni Mitchell (2007) part 2



If I Had A Heart

Holy war
Genocide
Suicide
Hate and cruelty...
How can this be holy?
If I had a heart I'd cry.

These ancient tales...
The good go to heaven
And the wicked ones burn in hell...
Ring the funeral bells!
If I had a heart I'd cry.

There's just too many people now
Too little land
Much too much desire
You feel so feeble now
It's so out of hand
Big bombs and barbed wire
We've set our lovely sky
Our lovely sky
On fire!

There's just too many people now
And too little land
Too much rage and desire
It makes you feel so feeble now
It's so out of hand-
Big bombs and barbed wire...
Can't you see
Our destiny?
We are making this Earth
Our funeral pyre!

Holy Earth
How can we heal you?
We cover you like a blight...
Strange birds of appetite...
If I had a heart I'd cry.



Earth and humanity suffered from war, hate and overpopulation. We read in wikipedia about this song:

"If I Had a Heart, I'd Cry" is a reaction to the state of the environment and what Mitchell called the current "holy war." In February 2007, The New York Times described the song as "one of the most haunting melodies she has ever written." Of the impetus that inspired her to write the song, Mitchell explained, "My heart is broken in the face of the stupidity of my species. I can't cry about it. In a way I'm inoculated. I've suffered this pain for so long. …The West has packed the whole world on a runaway train. We are on the road to extincting ourselves as a species."


Shine

Oh let your little light shine
Let your little light shine
Shine on Wall Street and Vegas
Place your bets
Shine on the fishermen
With nothing in their nets
Shine on rising oceans and evaporating seas
Shine on our Frankenstein technologies
Shine on science
With its tunnel vision
Shine on fertile farmland
Buried under subdivisions

Let your little light shine
Let your little light shine
Shine on the dazzling darkness
That restores us in deep sleep
Shine on what we throw away
And what we keep

Shine on Reverend Pearson
Who threw away
The vain old God
kept Dickens and Rembrandt and Beethoven
And fresh plowed sod
Shine on good earth, good air, good water
And a safe place
For kids to play
Shine on bombs exploding
Half a mile away

Let your little light shine
Let your little light shine
Shine on world-wide traffic jams
Honking day and night
Shine on another asshole
Passing on the right!
Shine on the red light runners
Busy talking on their cell phones
Shine on the Catholic Church
And the prisons that it owns
Shine on all the Churches
They all love less and less
Shine on a hopeful girl
In a dreamy dress

Let your little light shine
Let your little light shine
Shine on good humor
Shine on good will
Shine on lousy leadership
Licensed to kill
Shine on dying soldiers
In patriotic pain
Shine on mass destruction
In some God's name!
Shine on the pioneers
Those seekers of mental health
Craving simplicity
They traveled inward
Past themselves...
May all their little lights shine


An overall wish for light as beauty, peace, compassion , logic and environmental awareness to shine to everyone of us. There is a mentioning to the GMO technology, a wish for the involving scientists to realize with what Frankenstein issues they deal with.

“Flight of Icarus” by Iron Maiden, album: Piece of Mind (1983)


Dedicated to the (murdered by authority) Greek teenagers

As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Look the old man in his eyes
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings burn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun


A song loosely based on the Greek Myth of inventor Daedalus and his son Icarus. The myth is about their escape by flying with wings manufactured by them and glued with wax on their bodies, when they were captives in Minoan palace in ancient Crete. Icarus enjoyed flying and made dangerous uprisings and manoeuvres towards the sun, ignoring his father’s warnings about the danger of melting the wax by sun heat. Thus, his childish disobedience to his father’s wisdom became fatal for him: his wings were destroyed and he fell and plunged into the sea.

But the song does a creative violation of the original narration and a reversal of its moral in order to become an allegory for the teenager’s demand for independence from the parental bonds and authority, the last, feeling unbearable envy for such disobedience, sabotaged his son’s wings to send him to certain death.

We also notice that besides the reversal of the moral of the myth, there is also the presentation of the sun, not as a dangerous burning factor, (from the ancient perception of universe where the sun is only some thousands meters above us, completely false today, because the higher you fly, the colder you feel) but in fact as life supporter (first verse) and an imaginative object of desire (fly, touch the sun)

It worths mentioning another myth about Daedalus, where his envy for his very clever inventor nephew, named Perdix or Talos, prompted him to kill his nephew by pushing him off a very tall tower, but Goddess Athena saved the child by transforming him to the bird partridge.

So, Iron Maiden made a combination of these two myths of Deadalus in order to dramatize the teenagers’ disappointment for their wings of independence, nature has offered to them, being broken by their authorities (parents, teachers, state, etc)

For the Outraged Greek Youth (klik on lyrics to hear the song)

When there's no future how can there be sin
We're the flowers in the dustbin
We're the poison in your human machine
We're the future your future

Sex Pistols



Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
Against the world in which they have to live
And all the hate that's in their hearts
Theyre tired of being pushed around
And told just what to do
They'll fight the world until they'll win
And love comes flowing through
Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?

Black Sabbath



But don't play with me, 'cause you're playing with fire
Rolling Stones



Natural child, terrible child
Not your mother's or your father's child
Your our child, screamin' wild

Doors



Μα εγώ θα ζήσω μέσα στη μέρα,
θέλω τα χέρια να σηκώνω στον αέρα
Θέλω τον ήλιο και οξυγόνο
κι αυτό το μέλλον με ελπίδα ανταμώνω
Θέλω οξυγόνο, θέλω να ζήσω,
θέλω να ζήσω, ΘΕΛΩ ΝΑ ΖΗΣΩ!
Κι άμα τα πάρω, θα πάρω φόρα,
θα σας ρημάξω στις κλωτσιές στην ανηφόρα
Άμα τα πάρω δε θα μπορέσουν
δυο διμοιρίες από ΜΑΤ να με βολέψουν

Κίτρινα Ποδήλατα

translation of the last lyrics:
But I want to live in the open sunlight
I want to hold my hands to the sky
I want the sun, the oxygen
And welcoming my future with hope
I need oxygen, I want to live
I want to live, I WANT TO LIVE!
And if I’m pissed off, I’ll take run up
I’ll kick up a fuss and kick your ass
And if I’m pissed off, two squads
of riot police are not enough to repress me

Album: “Shine” by Joni Mitchell (2007) part 1


This place

Sparkle on the ocean
Eagle at the top of a tree
Those crazy crows always making a commotion
This land is home to me.

I was talking to my neighbour
He said, "When I get to heaven, if it is not like this,
I'll just hop a cloud and I'm coming right back down here
Back to this heavenly bliss."

You see those lovely hills
They won't be there for long
They're gonna tear 'em down
And sell them to California
Here come the toxic spills
Miners poking all around
When this place looks like a moonscape
Don't say I didn't warn ya...

Money, money, money...
Money makes the trees come down
It makes mountains into molehills
Big money kicks the wide wide world around.

Black bear in the orchard
At night he's in my garbage cans
He's getting so bold but no one wants to shoot him
He's got a right to roam this land.

I feel like Geronimo
I used to be as trusting as Cochise
But the white eyes lies
He's out of whack with nature
And look how far his weapons reach!

Spirit of the water
Give us all the courage and the grace
To make genius of this tragedy unfolding
The genius to save this place.


An awareness for the fate of home nature (beautiful like-heaven landscapes are destined to be eradicated for strip mining, or conversion into building land) by an over-development driven by money and greed. Great song and album by the performer of one of our favourite eco-songs “Big Yellow Taxi”. This song is also included in this album in a more dark version, expressing Mitchell’s disappointment about Nature’s maltreatment all these years after its original release in 1970. Joni Mitchell stated: this song is inspired when they decided to whittle down this mountain behind my sanctuary and sell it to California as gravel for McMansions


Bad Dreams

The cats are in the flower bed
A red hawk rides the sky
I guess I should be happy
Just to be alive...
But we have poisoned everything
And oblivious to it all
The cell phone zombies babble
Through the shopping malls
While condors fall from Indian skies
Whales beach and die in sand...
Bad dreams are good
In the great plan.

You cannot be trusted
Do you even know you're lying
It's dangerous to kid yourself
You go deaf and dumb and blind.
You take with such entitlement.
You give bad attitude.
You have no grace
No empathy
No gratitude

You have no sense of consequence
Oh my head is in my hands...
Bad dreams are good
In the great plan.

Before that altering apple
We were one with everything
No sense of self and other
No self-consciousness.
But now we have to grapple
With our man-made world backfiring
Keeping one eye on our brother's deadly selfishness.

And everyone's a victim!
Nobody's hands are clean.
There's so very little left of wild Eden Earth
So near the jaws of our machines.
We live in these electric scabs.
These lesions once were lakes.
No one knows how to shoulder the blame
Or learn from past mistakes...
So who will come to save the day?
Mighty Mouse?
Superman?
Bad dreams are good in the great plan.



Pollution threatens humans, animal life and landscapes, but nobody seems to care, about our future, about our mistakes in the past,...


Strong and wrong

Strong and wrong you win--
Only because
That's the way its always been.
Men love war!
That's what history' s for.
History...
A mass--murder mystery...
His story

Strong and wrong
You lose everything
Without the heart
You need
To hear a robin sing
Where have all the songbirds gone?
Gone!
All I hear are crows in flight
Singing might is right
Might is right!

Oh the dawn of man comes slow
Thousands of years
And here we are...
Still worshiping
Our own ego

Strong and wrong
What is God's will?
Onward Christian soldiers...
Or thou shall not kill...
Men love war!
Is that what God is for?
Just a Rabbit's foot?
Just a lucky paw
For shock and awe?
Shock and awe!

The dawn of man comes slow
Thousands of years
Here we are
Still worshiping
Our own ego
Strong and Wrong!
Strong and Wrong!


Worship of power, domination, war and violence are mainly masculine traits, imposed by patrist cultures and spread all over the world. History is full of masculine war narrations by putting aside feminine peaceful ones.

"If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" by Manic Street Preachers, Album: This Is My Truth Tell Me Yours (1998)


The future teaches you to be alone
The present to be afraid and cold
So if I can shoot rabbits
Then I can shoot fascists

Bullets for your brain today
But we'll forget it all again
Monuments put from pen to paper
Turns me into a gutless wonder

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next, Will be next,...

Gravity keeps my head down
Or is it maybe shame
At being so young and being so vain

Holes in your head today
But I'm a pacifist
I've walked La Ramblas
But not with real intent

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next, Will be next,...

And on the street tonight an old man plays
With newspaper cuttings of his glory days

And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
And if you tolerate this
Then your children will be next
Will be next, Will be next,...


In memory of the two teenagers in Greece, brutaly murdered by the police.

Michalis Kaltezas, fifteen, shot dead on 17/11/1985.

Alexis Gregoropoulos, sixteen, shot dead on 6/12/2008.

The song is refered to Spanish Civil War in 1936 and its title was the logo of a Spanish Republican poster against Franco's atrocities for bombarding cities and killing many children among civilian population (pictured above, read its history here). The military practice of the (Franco's) rebels, the military practice of Greek cops. Parallel practices.

Greek youth got pissed off and showed these days of extensive riots that they don't tolerate anymore such fascistic brutality by police which is responsible for at least 100 civilians' deaths or tortures, either native or immigrants, after Greek Junta fall in 1974 and alleged Democracy had been restored. No more lies on TV, no more hypocrisy and crocodile tears by the responsible governments.

Sixteen years old teenager was shot dead by police in Athens-Greece


A 16 year old boy was shot dead by the cops in downtown Athens on Saturday December 06th 2008

The highly corrupted greek government wastes also human lives beside natural and economical sources. When a cop can take a child’s life so easily and coldbloodedly with a gun that was given by authority in order to protect citizen’s life, then the social crisis is much more deeper, it’s a general crisis of social and human values…

Highly responsible for this tragic event is the police authority by letting loose poorly trained to respect fundamental human rights personnel, like respect of human life. Highly responsible is also the government being indifferent to train police personnel in non violent methods of crises or conflicts solutions and avoiding use of weapons. On the contrary, it is obvious that these cops make use of weapons in order to demonstrate their power towards unarmed citizens, teenagers, immigrants and sometimes towards their family (many policemen in Greece shot with their official guns their wives or their girlfriends for jealousy). The impunity or the provocative light penalties of such criminal police actions resulted to cop’s abuse of power and easy resort to use of guns.

The murder:
The police says that a police car at Exarchia was attacked by anarchists with rocks and bats and one of the cops shoot in the air (or ground) to scare them off and the bullet hit somewhere, changed course and hit the boy on the chest. However there are eye witnesses that state that there was no attack, only shouts against the cops and that the cop took a straight shot on the boy. The media also mentioned that there are leaks from inside the police verifying the eye witnesses but the official police statement denies that.

The aftermath:
After the murder of the 16 year old boy thousands of people filled with rage gathered and demonstrated in various places in Athens and other greek cities and started rioting and clashing with the police. There are reports about thousands anarchists, leftists and others that took the streets, also about tens of police departments attacked and hundreds of banks, cars, governmental buildings and shops smashed and set on fire. The clashes kept on until the early hours of Sunday morning.
Tomorrow, Sunday, demonstrations are taking place in tenths of greek cities and in some other European cities.

The history:
In 1985 also at Exarchia in central Athens, a 16 year old boy, Michalis Kaltezas, was shot dead by a cop, this time with a bullet in the back of his head. Again back then the reaction was very strong by the anarchists, the leftists and plain people disgusted but the police brutality. The classes with the police lasted for days.

Hún Jörð (Mother Earth) by Sigur Ros, album: Von (1997)

Hún Jörð

Móðir vor sem ert á jörðu,
Heilagt veri nafn þitt.
Komi ríki þitt,
Og veri vilji þinn framkvæmd ur í oss,
Eins og han er í þér.
Eins og þú.
Sendir hvern dag þína engla
Sendu þá einnig til oss.
Fyrirgefið oss vorar syndir,
Eins og vér bætum fyrir
Allar vorar syndir gagn- vart þér.
Og leið oss eigi til sjúkleika,
Heldur fær oss frá öllu illu,
því þín er jörðin
Líkaminn og heilsan.
Amen

Translation:

Mother earth

Our Mother, who art in Earth,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
On us as it is in you.
As you send Thy angels every day,
Send them to us as well
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Who trespass against you.
And lead us not into sickness,
But deliver us from evil,
Because yours is the earth
And the body
And the health
Amen.


From the debut album by the Islandic post rock band, this song is a paraphrase of the Christian prayer “Our Father” directed to Mother Earth.

D. D. T. on My Brain by Malvina Reynolds (1969)


I don't need your LSD,
Head to toe I'm DDT,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

Can't think like I used to do,
Still I know it's not good for you,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

They spray the wheat the chickens eat,
It's in my eggs, it's in my meat,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

It kills the bugs in the apple tree,
I eat the pie and it's killing me,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

All the farms they get that spray,
It washes down into my Bay,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

It kills the crabs, it kills the fish,
It shines up from my supper dish,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

Falcon's flying wild and free,
His babies die of the DDT,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

Chemical stocks are riding high,
Farm field workers spray and die,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

Bring back the bugs in my apple tree,
Don't lay that poison spray on me,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.

I don't need your LSD,
DDT is killing me,
DDT on my brain, on my brain.


A song that tells in brief all about the DDT impacts to nature, food chain, human and animal health. Once considered a blessing and salvation for malaria quickly it shows that it was a curse that came to stay. Even today, after the mass production and use in 40s-50s and the banning afterwards, DDT is present even in arctic areas through atmospheric circulation and animal migration. We read in wikipedia:

In 1962, "Silent Spring" by American biologist Rachel Carson was published. The book catalogued the environmental impacts of the indiscriminate spraying of DDT in the US and questioned the logic of releasing large amounts of chemicals into the environment without fully understanding their effects on ecology or human health. The book suggested that DDT and other pesticides may cause cancer and that their agricultural use was a threat to wildlife, particularly birds. Its publication was one of the signature events in the birth of the environmental movement. Silent Spring resulted in a large public outcry that eventually led to most uses of DDT being banned in the US in 1972.
DDT was subsequently banned for agricultural use worldwide under the Stockholm Convention, but its limited use in disease vector control continues to this day in certain parts of the world and remains controversial. Along with the passage of the Endangered Species Act, the US ban on DDT is cited by scientists as a major factor in the comeback of the bald eagle in the contiguous US.

DDT is a persistent organic pollutant that is extremely hydrophobic and strongly absorbed by soils. Depending on conditions, its soil half life can range from 22 days to 30 years. When applied to aquatic ecosystems it is quickly absorbed by organisms and by soil or it evaporates, leaving little DDT dissolved in the water itself. Its breakdown products and metabolites, DDE and DDD, are also highly persistent and have similar chemical and physical properties.These products together are known as "total DDT". DDT and its breakdown products are transported from warmer regions of the world to the Arctic by the phenomenon of global distillation, where they then accumulate in the region's food web.
DDT, DDE, and DDD magnify through the food chain, with apex predators such as raptors having a higher concentration of the chemicals than other animals sharing the same environment. They are stored mainly in body fat. In the United States, human blood and fat tissue samples collected in the early 1970s showed detectable levels in all samples. A study conducted in the late 1970s after the U.S. DDT ban found that blood levels were declining, but DDT or metabolites were still found in a high proportion of samples. Biomonitoring conducted by the Centers for Disease Control as recently as 2002 shows that more than half of subjects tested had detectable levels of DDT or metabolites in their blood,and of the 700+ milk samples tested by the USDA in 2005, 85% had detectable levels of DDE.

DDT was a major reason for the decline of the bald eagle in North America in the 1950s and 1960s as well as the brown pelican and the peregrine falcon. DDT and its breakdown products are toxic to embryos and disrupts calcium absorption, thereby impairing eggshell quality. DDT is also highly toxic to aquatic life, including crayfish, daphnids, sea shrimp and many species of fish.

“Politik” by Coldplay, Album: A Rush of Blood to the Head (2002)


Look at the earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place
Give me time and give me space
Give me real don't give me fake
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Give me time, give us a kiss
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes, open up your eyes,
open up your eyes, open up your eyes

Give me one 'cause one is best
In confusion, confidence
Give me peace of mind and trust
Don't forget the rest us
Give me strength, reserve control
Give me heart and give me soul
Wounds that heal and cracks that fix
Tell me your own politik

And open up your eyes, open up your eyes,
open up your eyes, open up your eyes
Just open up your eyes

But give me love over, love over, love over this


A call to politicians to rule with wisdom, compassion and clear vision about global human needs. This song is also heard in the credits titles of the Leonardo DiCaprio’s environmental documentary film “The 11th Hour”

”I Breathe” by Vacuum, Album: Plutonium Cathedral (1997)

I breathe, clouds beneath my window
I see rockets in the sky
I feel satellites in Limbo
I breathe, oxygen up high
I load lead inside my engine
Lead and alcohol
On the radio depending
I sign the protocol
Hail the audience the media
People everywhere
In the hours ahead I'll see your

Green biosphere
Clean biosphere
Castles in the air
Climbing the stair
Way to heaven
When...

I breathe, clouds beneath my window
I see rockets in the sky
I feel satellites in Limbo
I breathe, oxygen up high
I've been trained to navigate
My futurist balloon
After years a week will see me
Landing on the moon
Raise a banner on the planets
Life grows everywhere
In the manner of the mission

Green biosphere
Clean biosphere
Castles in the air
Climbing the stair
Way to heaven
When...
