Delightful, an educational warning and a real mood lifter.

I don’t think I ever heard the words “we all might die” sung with such joyful glee before. I mean I know you don’t mean it that way, but the music man… Great job! The vocals at the end rock my world too. Your voice is luscious. Bravo for this super fun and educational remix!

Haha! True, true. I must be over-compensating to eliminate the fear from the truth of it all? Oh, I don’t know! It just came out that way! πŸ˜‚ Thanks so much, Susan.

Okay, now this is my jam, Kara :)
I love it, it’s like TMBG ft. Kara, so smart and fun!

Awesome, Apoxode! Yessss… it totally has some TMBG vibes! Cooooool.

Did you ever hear their children’s album called ‘No!’? I sure loved that (and was in my 20s when it came out… I’ve always been a kid at heart).

Oh yeah, “mouth in the shape of an O, no no no” so cute, I think that had Robot parade too, if I’m not mistaken. Probably my favorite is Fibber island :)

Haha! Yep! Those are great! I still get “Don’t cross the street in the middle, in the middle,in the middle,in the middle,in the middle of the block” stuck in my head anytime I cross the street.

This is so creative and an uplifting song that really educates us about an important issue. David Attenborough needs to do a Pollinators series with this track as the theme song. How totally awesome!!!

Hey thanks, Emily! Yesssss… that would be very cool. There really needs to be a documentary about pollinators. I LOVE your song, btw. Definitely parallels, indeed.

Music is the best teacher, and I know I learned something about pollination and it’s impact from that. And who doesn’t like some retro new wave rocking to teach you it?

Right on!! Thanks so much, Admiral. I’m really glad you liked it!

Oh Kara I cant tell you how happy this beautiful track makes me :)

Almost as happy as the day my lad Theo came to me and said “Dad will you buy me a baritone ukulele?”

Which of course I did … straight away!

He has developed into a very accomplished musician much better than me on the guitar plus he plays keys and drums. He is 18 now :)

He is pleased as punch that you named checked him in the pella :)

Which is (the pella) fabulous with a great message!

Thank you so much. Made my June :)

YAYYYYYYY! I’m so happy you dug this!!

Amazing that your son played this at 12 and is now 18. So cool to learn that he kept playing and learning instruments. And he started with a baritone ukulele? Theo has excellent taste!!

Thank you for all of the music you share. Truly. You are so gifted. It was such a pleasure to work with your song.

I love your approach to your material here, both the subject and the samples - such as the way you introduce the (brilliantly chosen) guitar parts with a playful nod to the heightened conventions of live performance. The playfulness throughout is the key to why everything works so well, and the dexterity on display, obviously.

You are so kind, Robert! Thank you for your incredibly thoughtful and detailed review. This was definitely a fun one to make… I’m so glad the playfulness comes through.

This is to inform you your track is featured among others from ccmixter.org on my internet music station ccmixers.world on the pop/rock/other channel. Trackback notifications work not that good these days and so i inform you in this way. This review might seem generative when you read it at other tracks, but please understand i now already have about 500 tracks i’ve got to review to inform the people. Keep up the good work and i hope you enjoy my radio station. Greetz Frank.
