BROTHER HILL
Brother Hill says the southeastern region of the state is the most forested, and arguably most beautiful part of Ohio. The pristine nature of this region has only recently recovered from the ecological and social impacts of it's fabled mining days, which ended roughly one century ago. And in many ways, the land and it's people have still not recovered from them. By the time all the coal was gone it had pillaged the resource, destroyed the ecology, created a generation of desperate workers without a trade, and left scars on the land, impossible to hide. Time, however, has returned to us the land. The forest is regenerated, the lifeblood of the land is pulsing again, and the balance of nature is being seen restored.
But from a pit of greed, and a lust for more no matter the costs, a new threat arises. And it takes form in the practice of hydraulic fracturing. "Fracking". This being the most potentially dangerous ecological threat to see the region yet. In this the we are forced to note that
"All in all we have all been left in the same place in this space and time."
And it forces the question...
"Why can't one human do for the other what they'd do for themselves, not for wealth, but for all?"
Hill says this song is an observation of repeated mistakes.
