The Turtles
Solid Zinc: The Turtles Anthology (best of)
album review
. . . featuring partial lyrics for “Earth Anthem”

Songs for a Better Planet


Artist:
The Turtles

Album: Solid Zinc: The Turtles Anthology

Category: Rock/Pop

We are but an island in an ocean;
This is our home, third from the sun.
Let it be evergreen.
To keep it ever green,
I would lay my life down.
God, keep it evergreen.

... from the song: “Earth Anthem”

REVIEW

The song "Earth Anthem" was penned by songwriter Bill Martin in the mid-1960s. It first got noticed when the Turtles recorded it and included it on their album "Battle of the Bands." This classic environmental-spiritual song has been covered by a number of artists, including Dan Fogelberg, who sang it in 1980 at the 'No Nukes' concert in Washington, D.C., on the Capitol steps. book cover for The Turtles Anthology - Zolid Zinc As for the rest of Solid Zinc, it's a double-CD packed with an amazing number of great Turtles tunes. Most fans of 1960s pop know that the Turtles had a slew of hits: "You Baby" ... "Happy Together" ... "She'd Rather Be With Me" ... "She's My Girl" ... "Elenore" ... "You Showed Me" ... What most people don't know is that even their non-hits were usually first-class songs. The should-have-been hits include upbeat ditties like "Makin' My Mind Up"; lush pop gems like "Sound Asleep" and "Is It Any Wonder?"; and the amazingly melodic "Me About You" and "You Know What I Mean". On this jam-packed double set, you get the hits AND the lesser-known greats!
