about

Cedar Street follows the story of two main characters in the book “Overstory” by Richard Powers. These characters find themselves in the same time and place concerned about the deforestation in North America so they travel out west together to live in the Mimas trees to prevent them from being cut down. The juxtaposition of the upbeat music and the frightening lyrics leads to a tension in the song that reflects the current state of the climate change crisis. While many people are devoting their lives to this problem and feel the impending doom, others are happy to remain blissfully ignorant.

lyrics

She lived in a college town on Cedar Street
A tree in the front yard that once covered the earth

Wet from a shower, turns off the light
Dead for a minute, then comes back to life
She moved from that eastern town somewhere on cedar street

The greater the number
Harder the cry of
Fire Inside
If there was a problem
Someone would have already screamed
Fire
Fire
Fire on the inside

She had a vision of, looming trees
begged her to go out west save them all

Picked up a man somewhere on the drive
An Iowan who needed to feel alive
Tied to the redwoods they cried for all of us

The greater the number
The harder the cry of
Fire
If there was a problem
Someone would have already screamed
Fire
Fire
Fire on the inside
