This was the title song of our first album Medicine Lands. When I wrote this tune I’d just read Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring and Whatever Happened to Ecology by Stephanie Mills and what I took from these titles was the idea of ‘is hope a thing called chlorophyll’ and it haunted me. ‘I stand in line, I hold the mirror to my face’ , admits my footprint was in need of examination. Medicine Lands is a plea and a prayer to shelter these sacred lands. Remember ‘under the canopy lies the lifeline of Earth’.
