This week on Earth Eclectic Radio Hour, host Bart Everson presents an unflinching exploration of ecogrief and its musical remedies. The journey opens with Jan Roundy’s spare a cappella lament “The Water Rises” — the ocean lifting as Mother Earth sheds glacial tears — before Russ Arlotta’s folk meditation reminds us how little time remains and how large the moment. Boston’s Dragonchild offers a jazz-inflected “Hopefulness” even as the grief is named directly, while the extraordinary pairing of Lisa Gerrard and Jules Maxwell delivers “Heleali (The Sea Will Rise),” a cinematic meditation on tidal permanence and the necessity of release. Wendy Rule’s “Big Sky” opens the breath before New Orleans’ own Quintron delivers the sprawling, nine-minute “Greenwashed Planet (send help)” — a masterstroke of ecological ambient music, blending tree frogs, mockingbirds, carpenter bees, gators, and nutria with custom-built circuitry into something that sounds like a Folkways field recording fed through a fever dream.

A remarkable archival find follows: a 1958 spoken word clip from a Frank Capra-produced NBC broadcast in which “Dr. Research” calmly informs the American public that our atmosphere seems to be getting warmer — a reminder that we have known, and chosen not to know, for a very long time. Advika’s electronic “Put Your Heart Away” offers a moment of interiority before Childish Gambino’s “Feels Like Summer” delivers climate grief through the deceptive sweetness of R&B. Then comes RAYE’s “Environmental Anxiety.” — raw, London-sharp, and containing one very well-deployed expletive that, frankly, the situation warrants. Ashnikko’s “Weedkiller” brings the rage to its sharpest edge before Gaia Consort closes the hour with the gentle, consecrating “Every Sacred Thing” — Seattle’s reminder that grief, fully felt, can become devotion.
