Clip from “Rise”: “What if this is the beginning/ not the beginning of the end?”
Ever since he was a teenager, Massachusetts-based musician Seth Glier has turned to songwriting to process what he’s thinking about.
And in recent years, he’s been thinking a lot about climate change.
Glier: “And so I really just wanted to build a whole album that was solely focused on climate change solutions.”
Glier’s new album, “Everything,” includes songs about reconnecting with nature and growing food. He sings about restoring waterways, maple trees migrating north, and offshore wind farms.
Clip from “The Witches of the Wind”: “The witches of the wind/ waving at the water/ staring at the spin/ sending signals back to harbor”
He wanted to move beyond the climate doom and gloom that can dominate news headlines – and use the power of music to help people imagine new paths toward a cleaner future.
