  • 0041: Songs for the Trees

    Is there any other living being that symbolizes life on Earth more readily than the tree? Microbes are fundamental, but they’re a lot harder for us humans to perceive. Trees are visible. While Dan Sperling bemoans the fact that we can’t see the forest, in this episode we celebrate the fact that we can, indeed, see the trees. Kate Daisy Grant & Nick Pynn’s forthcoming album, “Songs for the Trees,” makes an especially strong case with each track honoring a different species. Folk singer Tom Neilson shares what might be his most spiritual song, “Tamarack Tree,” and we end with a devastating tribute from Dana Lyons.
