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

“Underground” by Wishbone Ash, album: Number the brave (1981)


Underground,
They want us to go underground.
Underground,
They want us to go underground.
You’ve got the right,
You’ve got the right to say what you think
You’ve got to fight,
’cause they’re leading us to the brink.

Fireball,
There’s going to be a fireball.
Fireball,
There’s going to be a fireball.
Never a time,
Never a time like this before.
There won’t be a sign,
There was never a time like this before.

Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh (repeat four times)

Underground,
They want us to go underground.
Underground,
They want us to go underground.
Throw down a line,
You’ve got the right to stay alive.
You’ve got to fight,
You’ve got to fight to survive.


We can interprete this song as a call to take action as soon as possible against the environmental destruction politicians and corporations are leading us to. Maybe the impacts will be so sudden as a fireball crushing, so we souldn't stay inactive and wait anymore.

You can hear this song in youtube
