Elements of Nature

Any song that includes one or more of the four elements of nature – earth, air, water, or fire.

The word/s must appear in the lyrics.

The words may NOT appear in the song title or name of the artist.

Paul

ABBA – Fernando

The element is very easy to spot.

Deborah

Marc Cohn – Walking in Memphis

Elvis. Memphis. Gospel in the air. The original by Marc Cohn ❤️

Karen

Passenger | To Be Free

Esther

Ed Sheeran – I See Fire

Tonight Esther’s home is without power. (Not Esther – she always has power to spare). So tonight, hot water, heat, cooking, washing and ironing must all be done by making a fire to heat water and prepare food.
For that reason, Esther has chosen this song. Her chosen element is fire. Enjoy.

Mary Gauthier – Our Lady of the Shooting Stars

This song by Mary Gauthier helps explain her traumatic younger years.
“Our lady of the shooting stars
Teach me how to know
I want to feel my thoughts go dark
And rest inside your flow
I’ll awaken without fear
And breathe the clean cool air
Your words upon my lips
You will become my prayer ”

She is a Grammy nominee and now owns a restaurant in Boston.

Deep River Blues | Collaborations | Tommy Emmanuel with Jason Isbell

The song is by Tommy Emmanual, one of the world’s top guitarists. In the piece, he collaborates with Jason Isbell.

The song is Deep River Blues, and I love the style, guitar work and lyrics (please listen to them – real blues stuff).
Enjoy!

Arno

Bruce Springsteen – Dancing In the Dark

Fire

Chrisna

James Bay – Hold Back The River

My element is water. Enjoy!

Liezel

Below My Feet | Mumford & Sons

There wasn’t a good video to this one, so close your eyes, sit back, relax and enjoy the earth beneath your feet.

Zosia

Bryan Adams – Here I Am (The Prince’s Trust Party In The Park 2002)

My element is earth – enjoy

Wilfred

Robin Schulz – Sugar (feat. Francesco Yates)

Sometimes we must not bottle up our feelings, instead, just let it out. But, as this song states quite clearly, “before you play with fire, do things twice, and if you get burned, don’t be surprised.”

My element is FIRE.

HAEVN – The Sea Symphonic Tales

My element is water.

The Sea, written and composed by HAEVN
and recorded with a 50-piece orchestra.

HAEVN philosophy: The water and the sea are fascinating metaphors for the things we cannot fathom. While being close to the sea, you can feel your brain clear up, yet at the same time, it’s so massive and forceful that it’s almost incomprehensible. It is both liberating and intimidating. This is something we tried to capture in the music and lyrics of The Sea.”
We believe a song is successful when someone recognizes themselves in it.

Their advice: sit back, relax and enjoy our music!!

Sue

John Denver–Windsong

My element of choice is air. As we all know, the movement of air creates wind. Maybe I have pushed the boundary a bit but I have chosen John Denver’s “Windsong” which I hope you enjoy.

Lynda

OneRepublic – Someday

My element of choice is Water (even though only mentioned once in the song🤭). Enjoy!
