My word!! Truer words have not been spoken!! It IS as you sing it is!! 😢 God help us. Greed and self-absorption are destroying this once grateful land USA 🇺🇸 😢 and the world 🌎 Thanks guys. Texas Nana Psalm 91
It confounds the hearts of those who carry conscience. It confounds the minds of those who wield intelligence. This is the most important issue we, as humans, need to deal with *now.* The delivery of this song made me shed a tear.
Thankyou for the wonderful song. Don't people rich & poor realize we've only got one earth. Greed keeps poisoning with chemicals, ignorance makes them TOO available.
I have a 6 month old granddaughter and a 5 year old grandson. It frightens me to think of what this Earth will be like in 10 years. Look at the last 2 terrible hurricanes, Helene and Milton. As the oceans get warmer there will be more hurricanes and they will get worse. You are right on point, Don. Science is being denied because of corporate greed and our earth and its creatures, like the precious bees, are paying for it. This is a beautiful parody and you and your “clone” harmonize perfectly. Don, it is ironic that you used “Sound of Silence”. That is what will be when the Earth is gone. 😢
Good golly gosh man you are so talented and productive! Makes my day, I greatly appreciate your intricate intelligent lyrics always 😊 Applause and high compliments on your musical mastery!
A wonderfully authentic vocal tribute to great artists and the lyrics are a perfect example of speaking truth to power, or at this point those who have abused and are again seeking it. We cannot let that man back in the Oval Office!
his is my personal favorite of the 'Confounds' songs. The lyrics are exceptional. "the consequences of our choices we minimize". It seems like we would rather pay out big bucks to restore the damage than pay out to prevent it.
Beautifully done. And still so many deny we are destroying this amazing planet - what's wrong with these people? Or are they just not concerned about future generations if it means they have to make some sacrifices?😢
My Uncle, a Director at NOAA, told me in 1989 that we had until 2010 to stop Climate change. He spent his life on ships studying the climate and the harm we were doing to the Earth. I asked why they didn't do anything about it. He said it wasn't politically expedient to do anything. They just kept kicking the can down the road. The powers that be have known for decades what was happening. I hope there is a special place in hell for them all.
It sort of becomes a vicious cycle. People don't want to do anything now, since it would mean giving up things that give them pleasure. But the longer they avoid doing things, the bigger the problem gets, and the more they'd have to give up to solve it. Just as we were making a bit of progress with getting people to lower the population by only having one child, everyone got panicked about the population drop and how they'd keep their industries growing and the retiring generation taken care of, so they started pushing people to start having more children, while at the same time it started to appear that even one child per couple wasn't dropping the population fast enough. So where do governments go from there? Tell people that most of them can't have ANY children? Then they have to decide who can, and questions like eugenics come into play (the fewer people there are, the bigger the impact of each person who needs perpetual support to be able to have a "life" without being able to produce a "standard" amount of social contribution becomes, so choosing randomly is probably not viable in the long term). Likewise from the other end, how do you deal with the ageing population versus the working one. Keep extending the time until people can retire and take their social security/pension over and over again? Abolish retirement and social welfare completely and say everyone is on their own to take care of themselves once they are no longer able to work. Set a maximum age to live before you are "put down"? And, of course, there is always the specter that the destruction we commit is inherent to our nature as humans, and "saving the planet" means eliminating out species TOTALLY before we take everything else down with us.
Very powerful. Very true. May others understand this. Thank you both.

A message with the song.
Wow, you are sooo talented. The lyrics, and the singing, sooo good. Thank you.
Very,very thought provoking and so very terrifying in it's implications.
Hugs and prayers from germany 🤗🙏😇🥰
Such a lovely sound and as good as Simon and Garfunkle.
It confounds the hearts of those who carry conscience. It confounds the minds of those who wield intelligence. This is the most important issue we, as humans, need to deal with *now.* The delivery of this song made me shed a tear.
It's very worrisome.
Agreed and I battle on a regular basis the ignorant, and the self absorbed deniers.
Vote for leadership across the world who care! 💙
Love both …Simon and Garfunkel and yours 👏👏👏👏
It makes you wonder what those humans, who survive this self inflicted calamity, will evolve into... 😮 Thanks for your wise inspiration!
Great parody! Keep them coming. Election too close to call
Excellent

They have the money to move to Mars. Why do you think Musk is so eager to get there?
@@sharonmontag2389 I would gladly help little Elon pack his bags! 😁
@@JC-tp5lz icing on the cake would be house magats and 45 going along as immigrants.
Very strong message!
This channel does such an outstanding job!

Bees were never supposed 2 fly because of their body shape.
Thank you for Re-Releasing
A song that makes me cry
With sadness + Frustration
MUCH Love
You are closed about the bees. Because of their body density they can't fly until it's above 50°.
Love you, Don. Many of us haven’t given up and are still fighting for people and planet. 💙💚💙
They will push us back on this battle until we all fall over the precipice.
Good golly gosh man you are so talented and productive! Makes my day, I greatly appreciate your intricate intelligent lyrics always 😊 Applause and high compliments on your musical mastery!
Thank you!
I have four very young grand children. I know I won't live to see them but I pray that my two children will become grandparents.
Positively en pointe
WOW!
It confounds me humans always want more. Enjoy what we have, be grateful and live simply so others may simply live
Brilliant... bravo!
Thank you. Powerful. Liked and shared (already subscribed).
Awesome! So enjoyed it.,.. True facts.

I rejoice when the bees come to my flowers. It’s a small victory in the big scheme of things.
The best yet.
The writing is beyond......
Bravo
Sincere thanks
While I don't personally know how Paul Simon feels about this adaptation of his beautiful song but I like to think he loves it.
Fab
Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel applaud you.

Bleach and sunshine. Who needs science?
The above is sarcasm, folks.
Art? Paul? New lyrics?

This is great! I heard the first version. The words to this are so true, the bees do rule ✊
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN 👸 🐝
Thank you ❤
And we drag every other species and life form on the planet down with us. 😢
There is no ‘planet B’ 😢
Excellent, again.

The Late, Great Planet Earth! 😢
This may be their best.
I miss our daily dreaming of what could have been. 😢
😲
Been watching you since Founders Sing, great stuff: keep spewing out the truth in high velocity parody. Put that last bit on a shirt.
People will understand when they can't breathe or get a drink of water.
You never miss what you've got till it's gone😢 can't wait to miss trump
Not so much a 'Part 2' as a clip.
