about

This song came about from reading this news article:

lyrics

52.5163 South
By 169.1552 East

Planted here in 1905
I've been quietly growing
And all this while, that I've been alive
I've also been quietly recording

Out here on my own
I wasn't meant to be
But now forever known
As the loneliest tree

Beautiful record, golden spike
The great acceleration of human impact
Global boundary stratotype, section and point
There in the rings, that hidden artifact

Out here on my own
I wasn't meant to be
But now forever known
As the loneliest tree

Carbon 14 and all that means
Congratulations, we've made our mark
Welcome to the Anthropocene

Out here on my own
I wasn't meant to be
But now forever known
As the loneliest tree
