Michael Dyer is a singer-songwriter whose songs contain well-crafted lyrics and multi-instrument arrangements. He is a master guitarist and his songs are about
I am a singer song-writer who has written folk-rock, soft blues and soft-rock songs for many years, mostly to maintain my own sanity. Then, in 2006 I discovered music editing software and the joy of DIY music production. The result is that, in 2007, I produced 3 CDs () and in 2008 (so far) I have produced 2 CDs (). I perform all vocals/harmonies and instruments (guitar rhythm/picking/lead, bass, keyboards, didgeridoo, harmonica) and produce percussion through careful use of drum loops. I have also composed some classical music for solo piano and also for solo guitar. The music and score of my solo guitar piece "Hummingbird in Flight" can be accessed at my web page (http://michaeldyermusic.com). That piece contains very rapid, chromatic finger movements and is reminiscent of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Flight of the Bumblebee" but my real love is composing and arranging folk/rock/blues/pop songs. I am also a glass blower on the side and so my glass creations tend to appear on the front/back covers of some of my CDs. My CDs are available at CDBaby.com, iTunes, Amazon.com and other web sites.

Story behind the song
I wrote a different EarthSong (on my first CD: Nothing Seems Like What It Seems) so I names this one EarthSong II.
Lyrics
In every stream around, prescription drugs abound, With frogs hermaphrodite, their loins, such a fright. Strong winds are here to stay, that blow our homes away. All oceans on the rise, small islands their first prize. Asphalt replaces trees, makes room for SUVs. Our oxygen is low, just like the mountain snow. With spider genes in food, what brew is being brewed? A child with genes mal-formed, comes from an Earth deformed. Our estrogenic plates, will men emasculate. Our gas that's octane plus, our girls androgenous. Our fuel, it burns so hot, heats up the Earth a lot. Where are the glaciers? Polar bears, no need for furs. The ozone hole, it grows. Sun burns us while we doze, And gasoline explodes, as every auto knows. Clogged freeways now a curse. A coronary burst. Clogged airways now a curse, a cancer getting worse. The Earth, she does now cry. So many species die. The Earth, she does now cry. She's asking us just "Why?" She's asking us just "Why?" She's asking us just, "Why?"
