Their CD "If You Dare" is a call to arms for all nature lovers and protectors of planet Earth.
The CD combines the soaring vocals of Julie Blue mixed with piano, electric and acoustic guitar, bass, saxophone, Shakuhachi flute and a multitude of drums, shakers, tambourines and other world percussion instruments. Many of the songs have the feel of Joseph "Pepe" Danza's native home, Uruguay.
Below are partial lyrics from "Tree Anthem", a song written by Julie Blue that was inspired by and dedicated to Clayoquot Sound. The islands and mountains of Clayoquot Sound are covered with coastal temperate rainforest. The kind of rainforest found in Clayoquot Sound is the most rare kind of forest in the world, covering less than 0.2% of the Earth’s land surface. In January 2000 Clayoquot Sound became designated as the Clayoquot Sound UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
"Tree Anthem"
We come from many countries,
from all across the land
To raise our voice, claim our choice
It's time to take a stand.
As we all stand together
life will find a way.
Trees are the breath of life
this is what they say.
Let the trees grow up to the light
and the forest live forever.
Let each moment be sacred in our sight
as we walk the path together
We speak for the children
for the salmon and the bear
The water we all drink from
and the earth that we all share.
We speak for alternatives
that do not make earth bleed
Honor her generosity
moderate our greed.
For our children's children
It's time we now unite.
So raise your voice, claim your choice
join us in the fight.
