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

"The Last Apache" by Bolland & Bolland (1976)

He was just a boy
They called him Rising Sun
He grew up proud and strong

Sound of ancient songs
Ringing in his ears
For so many years

Now he's grown a man
The music dies
Just hear the sound of battlefights

Hear the shooting guns
The soldiers rise
The Indian run

Ride on, Indian soldier
You want to be free
Give him back his country
He's the last Apache
The last Apache

Hear the distant drums
Fighting their last fight
It ended overnight

Gave his life in vain
Rising Sun
Won't shine again

Ride on, Indian soldier
You want to be free
Give him back his country
He's the last Apache
The last Apache

Once the Indians were free
To live in their own country
Then came the white man
He took away their land
And only one of them survived
He is the last Apache

Ride on, Indian soldier
You want to be free
Give him back his country
He's the last Apache
The last Apache

The last Apache


A song about the destruction of Indian societies, culture and los of their land

“Mother Earth” by Avalanch, album “Mother Earth” (2005)

Suffering she bears, yet tender remains
Soul of woman, with wisdom and grace
Willow tree that weeps, sad but not unloved
Cruelest winds of age,
working their worst where she stands
So much baggage, so much guilt
and the past seems so distant
I forgot how selfless you brought me life
And into your world
And of all the things I could sing of,
cannot express what’s inside of me
The heart of your son is not so cold
It’s never forgotten your love

Hold on mother earth
Now it’s my turn to tend to your needs
Now I comprehend
All the things I hold dear, you gave to me
Hold on mother earth
To see your beautiful face smiling at me
Hold on mother earth
I want to give back your love,
but I don’t know how
Hold on mother earth

Patiently she waits, just watching the sea
A message in a bottle sailing on the tide
Her weather-beaten face,
hides her waning faith
Everything to lose, everything to gain
Take my hand and feel my love
I will heal your wounds
and make dry your tears
And of all the things I could sing of,
cannot express what’s inside of me…
The heart of your son is not so cold,
it has not forgotten your love

Hold on mother earth
Now it’s my turn to tend to your needs
Now I comprehend
All the things I hold dear, you gave to me
Hold on mother earth
To see your beautiful face smiling at me
Hold on mother earth
I want to give back your love,
but I don’t know how
Hold on mother earth
Hold on mother earth

Now it’s my turn to tend to your needs
Now I comprehend
All the things I hold dear, you gave to me
Hold on mother earth
To see your beautiful face smiling at me
Hold on mother earth
I want to give back your love,
Please tell me how
Hold on mother earth

[ in Arabic, sung by Jbara: ]
Mother Earth, I give you my soul, my love, my respect, my whole life. You are life, you are our mother, you are respect.

[ in Portuguese, sung by Andre Matos: ]
Mother Earth that sings and sings, life brings and gives, Mother Earth that sings and sings, immortal life and time.
