This is a pop song about global warming. Among the reasons Lora and I moved out of Phoenix, Arizona, is because the heat is progressively getting worse, the electrical grid may fail, and the water table is shrinking. They continue to build and grow despite what scientists warn.

I selected the instrumentation in the style of Roxy Music's "Avalon" album. Emina Bajtarevic did the vocals.

IF THE WORLD ENDS Words and music by John Walradt

Do you remember watching birds in flight over a summer field
The sun was warm, and we walked on trails hand in hand
We felt the gentle breezes cool our skin, we were without a care
How I wish we could bring back those days again.

But now the leaves have died, the sun is hot, we are on our own
We tried to point to the signs but no one is watching
The earth is scorched and the oceans rise, and the fires burn
If the world ends where will we ever love again.

Our garden is dying
It needs all of our loving care.
If we are going to write more songs of love
Can you tell me if
The world ends where will we ever love again.

And now we're hermits in a city where they all pretend
Nothing's wrong, life rolls on as we pollute the air
If we are going to try to mend the earth, we must cooperate
Will you care, we must try to learn to share again.

Our garden is dying
It needs all of our loving care.
If we are going to write more songs of love
Can you tell me if
The world ends where will we ever love again.

The world ends
Where will we ever love again.
The world ends
Where will we ever love a-

Gain, ah ah ah ah, ah ah ah ah
The world ends
Where will we ever love again.

Hi John!
Great song and a good message. I love the music and melody when it moves to ‘Our garden …’

The style of the drums and acoustic guitar had a Sugar Ray (the band) vibe to it - which I like.

Good video as well!

Andrew
