Music : Racoon Racoon
Lyrics : Racoon Racoon
Produced, mixed and mastered by Leonard Bremond / Bramar Records

The Dodo's Nest is a song I wrote on a Sunday afternoon, at the top of the Moncenis Lake at the Italian-French border. It was a sunny day in early spring, there were snowy mountaintops reflections in the turquoise waters of the lake, green open fields hiding a discreet wildlife only visible to watchful eyes, and a slight breeze announcing delightful days to come...

I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the landscape, Nature in its purest form, that it made me profoundly sad. Sad because I knew I was privileged to see this, Mother Earth at her best appearance. Because I knew in a few years, Mother Earth would have probably become uglier, her wildlife sparse, if not extinguished. And all because of me. you. them. us.

lyrics

I had a dream last night
I saw the ocean saw a fight
The fight of people for their history and homes
All remains are now mystery and bones

I saw the birth of a nation
Running towards its own extinction
I saw them digging, diggin, looking for something
And I saw them drowning in their own coffin

Mister Dodo watch your nest
I fear for you to be honest
Will we be staring at the fire
High above from our silver glass pyre

I saw the dark sky crumbling
Upon a billion souls running
A flood of hunters fleeing from their fate
Rotten blossoms wiped out like poor bait

What if this night would last forever
Could all the kids be born to suffer
A gloomy grave field of dead trees
Could it, Mother, be us the disease ?

Mister Dodo watch your nest
I fear for you to be honest
Will we be staring at the fire
High above from our silver glass pyre

Mister Dodo watch your nest
I fear for you to be honest
Will we be staring at the fire
High above from our silver glass pyre
