Anohni and Yoko Ono, I Love You Earth || Variations | The Glasshouse

Written by Yoko Ono, Anohni and Yoko’s duet 'I Love You Earth' is both an Instruction Piece and a powerful affirmation. It is a protest song of imagination, peace and love.

With shimmering vocals and perfect acceptance, Anohni loves everything about the Earth and the way the Earth is. Yoko loves the sky, the wind, rivers, mountains, all species and the forests that give us oxygen to breathe. The Earth is a world of amazing biodiversity. As we lose more and more of nature, the climate grows more unstable, putting all species at risk. Yoko wants to scream. Instead, she sings with love and a voice like the hush of home.

'I Love You Earth' is a lullaby, a love song for planet Earth, our beautiful and much-loved home. Anohni and Yoko pay homage to the Earth at this turning point in the climate crisis. A point at which we must act now to repay our love for the planet that has done so much to nurture us. Yoko’s song and film, made in collaboration and support for The Rainforest Trust, reminds us that ‘together we can love the Earth and save the world’.

About Variations:

During lockdown The Glasshouse commissioned four stellar international artists, Anohni and Yoko Ono, John Grant, Moor Mother and Tune-Yards, to each create a new music film reflecting their experience of the climate crisis and pandemic. Release of the new music films coincides with COP26, the annual United Nations global summit to tackle climate change. This year's climate summit, held in Glasgow, is being described as the last chance for governments to commit to the change needed to prevent climate catastrophe.

Variations is a quartet of musical variations on themes of covid variants, that sent the world into lockdown, and climate variations that could tip the Earth's systems into an uninhabitable state. Four songs with accompanying films by four artists that express love for the Earth, all species and the air we breathe. The songs are an expression of grief and loss for the world we had that has changed, a testimony of injustice and a plea to work together, to imagine change and act now.
