pFITE24 - Entry: Hazel Watson, To Those Who'll Inherit the Earth

LIKE TO VOTE!
Artist Name: Hazel Watson
Song Title: To Those Who'll Inherit the Earth
About the entry:
The idea for this song first came about when I attended 'Singing with Nightingales' run by the folk singer Sam Lee, an enchanting and emotionally-laden experience in which guests are guided through the woods by moonlight to listen to musicians duet with a nightingale. This culturally significant bird will be extinct in this country within a few decades, a fact which provoked a lot of the themes of the song. Shortly after this, I attended my youngest sibling's school musical and watched as all these talented young people exhibited their potential and hope, just starting out at the brink of adulthood with a world ahead of them. I couldn't help but wonder, in the light of the climate and biodiversity crises, how different life might be for these young people in a few decades. The song was an outlet for pain and anger, but, however, ends on a hopeful note; raising our voices alongside the voices of nature, revering the cycles of life and death, and celebrating the power of hope, connection and commitment.
I was so delighted by the serendipity of my duet partner serenading us in all the right moments when I recorded this in the Lake District!
