What are you listening to?

These two country/folk songs came up recently in my random iTunes playlist, and I was struck by the similar positive messages contained in both choruses. It's nice to hear songs like this once in a while.

Chorus:
So don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you eat of the bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul

Chorus:
We shall all be reunited
In that land beyond the skies
Where there'll be no separation
No more marching, no more sighs

From Wikipedia:
Steppenwolf was a Canadian-American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1967. The group was founded by singer/rhythm guitarist John Kay, keyboardist Goldy McJohn and drummer Jerry Edmonton, all formerly of the Canadian band the Sparrows. Guitarist Michael Monarch and bassist Rushton Moreve were recruited via notices placed in Los Angeles–area record and musical instrument stores.

Another great Canadian band is The Tragically Hip from Kingston, Ontario. This is their song "Trickle Down" -


Old lion's dying, got left behind
Cut your teeth, lose your meat, and, man, it's just a matter of time
Key's to the cuffs, you might be king
That's it, that's all, that's everything

Skeletons come here to dance
Where barrooms beat their brothers into a bloody trance
What's the deal? What did I do?
Who cops all the cops is all I asked of you

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down

Twenty miles before the crash
That's the style, for a while, and, man, I think it's going to last
"Hit the breaks," is all you can say
Conductor says we'll save them for another rainy day

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down

Old lion's dying, got left behind
Cut your teeth, lose your meat, and, man, it's just a matter of time
Key's to the cuffs, you might be king
That's it, that's all, that's everything

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down

Lining up, waiting on the trickle down
Something's up, taking time to get around
Belly up, all the drinks are on the crown
It's just a matter of the trickle down
It's just a matter of the trickle down
It's just a matter of the trickle down
