“In Forty-five Years” is purposefully soothing and avoids doom & gloom. I felt the latter was surely not the right way to approach the subject. The song has a 1960s flavor (a la Simon & Garfunkel, Beach Boys, Beatles, etc.). I worked hard to create a song that is an OPTIMISTIC view of how we still have the ability to get things back on track. We’re running out of time, to be sure, but we haven’t lost control yet. The song ends with “If we do the right things today and tomorrow, then we’ll solve the problem in the decades that follow.” The fade-out is replete with a ticking clock, reminding us we can’t delay much longer!
I have written, recorded, and donated this song in the hopes that it is heard by many people. It was my intention to portray a positive message that may help to assuage the pervasive gloom & doom surrounding this subject. I invite you to listen, and maybe it will help move the needle. We all need to do our part!
