A Dark Melodic Ballad From 1990! Footprints In The Sand |
This is truly a riveting, dark upbeat romantic ballad worth a listen. Comment below if you liked the lyrics. The music production sounds pretty awesome and features world class musicians like Brian Bonhomme (former electric guitar player for Roman Holiday, UK) and Premik Russell Tubbs, world renowned saxophonist ( Sting, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Elton John, Tina Turner, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Jennifer Hudson).
Lead vocal and lyrics by David (Grant) Rosen, known primarily for his political fashion, art and activism, from his anti-apartheid designs in the 1980's.
Together with Edward Vinatea, formed the music group "Broken Codes" in the late 80's.
Song Title: Footprints In The Sand
Lyrics by David (Grant) Rosen
Music by Edward Vinatea
Here are the lyrics:
Intro
I put a pen in my hand
Scribbled on the wall
Made footprints in the sand
Promised to wait for your call
Verse 1
I communicate a sentence from a book
Making sure I don't change a word
And of course I misunderstood this
The whole thing is real absurd
Pre-Chorus
Building on broken codes
Building on broken codes
Building on broken codes
Building on broken codes
Verse II
I shot a man in the head
Dumped the gun in the river
I switched on my favorite song
And I began to dance
Chorus
I love you so
You know it so
I love you so
You know it so
Outro
I love you so
I love you so
I really do

Is this the first Earth song ever?
Or, at least one of the best Earth songs, ever? Years before Michael Jackson came up with a song about the Earth, this song was already recorded in 1991 by the NYC group, OPUS.
It was heard by many members of the music industry, who in typical, myopic form, turned down this group's musical concept.
In our opinion, this is perhaps one of the best songs ever made for our planet; a combination of poetry, melody over rock music rhythm. Also, its lyrics are not intended to be obvious and predictable as some earth songs appear to be.
You are not going to hear ambiguous, nagging questions to humanity, or trivial calls to save the earth, or some political gaslighting nonsense.
This is an unconventional song about the Earth in the form of subliminal messages to the human race as a whole. The incessant drum beat in this video's music track, suggests people to mobilize into a higher state of consciousness and to claim this song as Earth Day's music anthem.
A must listen tune!
