Make Music! Make Community!

FACT: Adults 21-29 are very interested in music as a cultural language.
FACT: Birds sing for mating during their prime years.

CONCLUSION:  Music is a mating language!

But we know that music is a language of far more than mating in the human species.

We don't usually think about popular culture's role in our very physical heritage... instincts and species behaviors -- but many of our behaviors are primal.   Music is one of them.

We have wisdom passed down such as "music soothes the savage beast",  lullaby baby, love songs, and music to dance to.  All these uses of music are primal, are very human.  Part of green marketing is helping people solve a need, a hunger, and helping our communities and customers in wholesome ways.

Music can do that.  Music for the sake of community, that is.

When the lyrics are deliberatly infused with commercial messages to reach the subliminal parts of the brain and other body parts --- well, that's not very sustainable, responsible or respectful.  But music as part of life's festival, relaxation, community building and enjoyment of our ability to sing and dance and listen to melody and beat and poetic expressions -- that can be a powerful way to contribute beauty and joy and strength to your community.

Here's singin' with you!
