East Side West Side - The Mammals Special Earth Day 2020 Crowdsourced Video [official video]

Описание: Staring at an editing screen is not a typical Earth Day activity, but this was not a typical Earth Day so that's what I did. And the glory of springtime and the joy in these video clips have really lifted my spirits and my heart! Bandmates, friends, family, and fans contributed videos from as near as Woodstock and as far as Melbourne. I was entranced and charmed by the common movements of the dancers, swaying to the same groove from different parts of the same planet. Spinning, stretching, bopping, turning east and west. With zero pre-planning a sort of gentle choreography emerged. I had so much fun putting this together and feel so grateful this could happen.

East Side West Side
(R. Ungar)

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details
But we’re standin’ on common ground

If this land is your land, if this land is mine
Then let’s not leave it dirty for the ones that come behind
It’s our to care for and it’s ours share
We’ve all gotta drink the water and we’ve all gotta breathe the air

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details
But we’re standin’ on common ground

We don’t have to agree on everything and that’s ok
But let’s agree on something and make a better day
I’m not sayin that we’re better, not lookin' for a boast or a brag
But i’d like to feel proud when i look up at that flag

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details
But we’re standin’ on common ground

My country tis of thee sweet land of liberty
Close minded bigotry open hostility
So stand or take a knee just join your hands with me
Let freedom ring come on let me hear you sing

I’m singin’ from the north side to the south side
We could be stronger than ever before
I’m singin’ from the east side to the west side
From the shore to the shinin’ shore

Keep a-walkin’ on a good path ‘round the big world
Come back and tell me what you’ve found
We can fight or we can wrestle with the details
But where are we standin’. . .
