Floyd Red Crow Westerman - "They Didn't Listen"

And i told them not to dig for gold
for if they did, the eagle would die
They didn't listen
They didn't listen!
they didn't listen...
To me.
And I told 'em if the eagle died
There would be no keeper of the land
They didn't listen
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
To me.
And if there was no keeper of the land,
Machine would come and soon destroy the sky
they didn't listen
They didn't listen!
they didn't listen...
To me.
And i told 'em if they destroyed the land
Man would have to move into the sea
They didn't listen
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
To me.
And i told 'em if they destroy the sea...
They didn't listen
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!
They didn't listen...
They didn't listen!

This the first time I have listened to the music and wonderful voice of Floyd Red Crow Westerman. It will not be my last time. I will put his music up with Arvel Bird who is one of the best.

[@drawstraw4483]

Ada Gauthier he doesn't impose, merely suggests.. We should've listened!

[@howiefeltersnatch2534]

This legend reminds of Johnnie Cash, Richie Havens and Bob Dylan all rolled into one. Powerful, powerful lyrics and a great voice.

[@howiefeltersnatch2534]

Better yet, those three remind me of Red Crow.

RIP RedCrow

[@Taranau]

More are listening,but not enough,I'm afraid.The big money corporations aren't listening,and I don't think they ever will.When they've destroyed everything,they'll want us to buy their fix-it solution.And they're the problem.The solution is;to realize that sometimes,the best thing to do,is to leave things be.

[@cogangeezer]

Very appt for this day n age ! Sadly.
