Steve Gardham | Lyr Req: Trad songs about protecting nature? (16) | RE: Lyr Req: Trad songs about protecting nature? | 20 Dec 23 |
I very much doubt you will find any traditional songs at all that touch on this subject. Most of the ballads were written in the big city in a period when conservation of any sort, other than keeping the wolf from the door, was far from the minds of any ballad writer. Human relationships by far dominate the subject matter, and whaling, hunting and fighting were other aspects that rarely took nature into account. |
