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

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

Woman in the window: A previously unreleased Jim Morrison's song that was used in a 2007 Global warming campaign


Woman in the Window

I am the woman
In the window
See the children
Playing

Soldier sailor
Young man on your way
To the summer
Swimming pool

Can you see me standing?
In my window
Can you see me
Laughing?

Come upstairs sir to your room and I will play for you

Oh dreamland
golden scene land
Try to sleep lamb
Take us to dreamland

I am unhappy
Far from my woman-
Just try and stop us
We’re going to Love
Just try and stop us
We’re going to love
Just try and stop us
We’re going to love

Eat at my table
She cried to the vineyard
Calling the workers
Home from the meadow

Man you are evil
Get out of my garden
Just try and stop us
We’re going to Love

Just try and stop us
We’re going to love
Cover us over
Love

Open your window
Woman of Palestine
Throw down your raiment
And cover us over

Riding the prairie
Just me and my angel-
Just try and stop us
We’re going to Love
Just try and stop us
We’re going to lov

We read in NME about this song:

Perry Farrell, John Densmore of The Doors and actor Josh Hartnett helped launch the Global Cool campaign today (January 30) at simultaneous press conferences in Los Angeles and London.

These artists join a host of others including Kasabian, The Killers, KT Tunstall and Scissor Sisters who are involved in promoting Global Cool's mission to "save the planet" by encouraging individuals to reduce their carbon emissions by 10 billion tons over 10 years.

"Global Cool is helping us make it uncool not to be green," said Densmore, who was involved in the creation of the campaign's theme song, 'Woman in the Window'.

The track features vocals from The Doors' Jim Morrison with background music recorded by Farrell's new band, Satellite Party. The song was debuted at the conference.

"We're happy to donate 'Woman in the Window' as the theme song for such an exciting project," Farrell told NME.COM.

"Jim (Morrison) saw the trouble in the world, but he knew that we guide our own destinies. And that's what we're doing. No one can stop us from saving energy, saving money and saving the planet."

Global Cool encourages individuals to reduce their energy consumption by doing simple things each day such as turning out lights, unplugging mobile phone chargers, and turning down heating by one degree.

"A little done by a lot of people adds up to a hell of a lot," said Global Cool CEO Julian Knight.

Global Cool will soon announce a series of live musical events throughout the world featuring bands such as Kasabian, Scissor Sisters and KT Tunstall to help promote energy-saving messages and further Global Cool's mission.

Ship of fools by Doors (Αλμπουμ: Morrison hotel 1970)



The human race was dying out.
No one left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon.
Smog will get you pretty soon.

Everyone was hangin' out.
Hangin' up and hangin' down.
Hangin' in and holdin' fast.
Hope our little world will last.

Along came Mr. Goodtrips Looking for a new a ship.
Come on, people, better climb on board.
Come on, baby, now we're going home.
Ship of fools, ship of fools.

The human race was dying out.
No one left to scream and shout.
People walking on the moon.
Smog gonna get you pretty soon.

Ship of fools, ship of fools. Ship of fools, ship of fools.
Ship of fools, ship of fools.
Ship of fools.

Yeah, climb on board Ship's gonna leave ya far behind
Climb on board
Ship of fools
ship of fools


This song ridicules quieting ideas of indifference about earth pollution and of consequent escaping planet earth after it became unbearrable for inhabiting. The presumptuous "survivors" will be driven to nowhere as it was happened in Medieval Age when the ship of fools was o boat filled with mentally-deranged people who were shipped to open sea and to inevitable death.

When the music's over - The Doors - 1967


Yeah, c'mon
When the music's over
When the music's over here
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights (x2)

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end

Cancel my subscription to the resurrection
Send my credentials to the house of detention
I got some friends inside
The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends alive she cried
Waiting for me outside

Before I sink into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby
Back into my arms
We're getting tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around
With our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound
Very near
Yet very far
Very soft
Yet very clear
Come today
Come today

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered
And ripped her
And bit her
Stuck her with knives
In the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences
And dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground—
We want the world and we want it,
We want the world and we want it, now
Now? Now!

Persian night! babe
See the light! babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!

So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the light
Turn out the light

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end

So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
